I wouldn't say plenty. London may have a few. Bruges is only a small place but has more than much larger English cities, as do a lot of places on the continent.
Some Romanian lads sat outside the Transylvanian cafe/restaurant corner of hassle rd/boulevard this afty.
Anyone been in there? I'm dying to go in.

Are they Vampires?
If you go in you may die, then live forever or an Allam's 24 hours, whichever is the longest ...
Apparently the average Vlad enjoys nowt more than a bag of sunflower seeds, eaten on a park bench and the shells just left on the ground.
I know this because the HDM reported it.
When was the last time you were in the Smoke. 1955? Cafes with outside seating everywhere, I'm there at the moment, those hookah pipe smoking places all over the West End as but one example.
That's what we need more of, hookah pipe smoking places. Why aren't there any in Hull? Or Brid?
Had a holiday in Knokke in 1967 and watched RFC Bruge in a cup game against a lower division team whose name I don't remember but they wore black and amber stripes. Naturally, my mates and I cheered for them and true to the plot, they were well beaten!
London has hundreds, if not thousands, of places that people sit outside and eat. I was in one this weekend and passed loads more.
Bruges doesn’t have more than London, that’s ridiculous, but I’d imagine it does have more per capita or more per square mile.
There isn't in Brid. Not that I would use one having COPD. We haven't even got a gin bar in Brid which I would use. BTW, they are now selling Pussers Gunpowder rum on Amazon. That is well worth a try.
Talking of Bruges, there was an article in the paper this week about coping with tourism overloads. Bruges, which is a relatively small place, gets 8 million a year which is somewhat of a problem as most of them want to see what is in the centre an area which is only home to 20,000. Which is why they can sustain more cafes and bars per capita than most cities over here.
York has nearly the same amount of tourists but has twice the population living in a city which covers twice the area as well. Though, like Bruges what the majority of people want to see is concentrated in a small area.
BTW, nothing on TV the other night so watched a rerun of old editions of Dog Rescuers. The last item was about the trouble they had rehoming two greyhounds as one was going blind and the other guided it and they were inseparable. They were finally adopted by a couple. The bloke was wearing a red Lambretta,the shirt. A good advert for the kindness of wearers of the brand.
I only sell to nice people.
Though I've had nothing to do with Lambretta for over three years now.

Not sure how old it was. As I said it was a rerun, and the programme has run for more than 3 years I think.
Was talking to some of the lot in for the scooter weekend recently and Lambretta stuff was being worn by a few. Ironically a couple of them went out and hopped on Vespas. Good collection of scooters outside the pub, all 60s originals.
