Two weeks ago my wife and I spent a few days visiting the Belgian coast. We stayed in Oostende, but took an afternoon and evening trip to Blankenberge, where we were looking for a restaurant to try the famous mussels. My wife has an aunt that has a flat in Blankenberge, so we called her for some advice. It turns out that her daughter had mussels a few weeks earlier, and she had them at the restaurant / beerhaus Oberbayern.
We were quite skeptic as we were really looking for a more traditional Belgian coast restaurant that has more of a fish kind of specialty. But we were tired and did not feel like searching anymore, so we went for it.
Needless to say, and judging by the topic of this blog post, we were very pleasantly surprised. The mussels were delicious. They ware also all you can eat, but the portion they served us was already too big for us, so no second servings for us.
Again an example where you do not always can judge a book by its cover, or a restaurant by its name or interior, or ???
What examples can you share with me where you had initial thoughts that turned out to be completely wrong? Where have you encountered prejudice?
