    cafAŠs
     and 
    restaurants
     in Bruges are geared up for the tourist industry, with the majority working from a fairly uniform Flemish menu. By and large, standards are high, portions substantial and prices quite reasonable, the only problem being the crowds that make many city-centre places unbearable in the height of summer. Several of the youth hostels offer 
    inexpensive meals
    , the best of which are those served up by the 
    Passage
    , Dweersstraat 26, and the 
    Bauhaus
    , Langestraat 135. For fresh 
    seafood
     snacks, the fish shops along the Vismarkt are a good bet, with delicious specialities for around a?Ŧ7. 
    Among Bruges's many 
    eateries
    , try 
    Taverne Curiosa
    , Vlamingstraat 22, a lively bar/restaurant in an old vaulted cellar a couple of minutes' walk north of the Markt; 
    Het Dagelijks Brood
    , Philipstockstraat 21, an excellent bread shop which doubles as a wholefood cafAŠ with one, long wooden table; 
    La DentelliA?re
    , Wijngaardstraat 33, the most agreeable of the somewhat overpriced restaurants around the Minnewater; 
    Den Dyver
    , Dijver 5, a first-rate restaurant specializing in Flemish dishes cooked in beer - the quail and rabbit are magnificent; 
    Erasmus
    , Wollestraat 35, a straightforward, brightly-lit cafAŠ with reasonably priced, mostly Flemish dishes; or 
    Beethoven
    , St Amandsstraat 6, a cosy family-run restaurant serving top-notch Belgian dishes at expensive prices. As for 
    bars
    , 
    't Brugs Beertje
    , Kemelstraat 5, is a small and friendly speciality beer bar that claims a stock of two hundred ales; 
    't Dreupelhuisje
    , Kemelstraat 9, is a tiny place specializing in 
    jenevers
     and 
    advocaats
    , of which it has an excellent range; and the 
     Oude Vlissinghe
    , Blekerstraat 2, is - with its wood panelling, old paintings and long wooden tables - one of the oldest and most distinctive bars in town. The 
    Cactusclub
    , in the city centre at St Jakobsstraat 33 (tel 05034 8643), hosts quality touring DJ's and bands - everything from rock through to R&B and jazz.
