Monday is not quite like it used to be. Visitors must reserve for places indoors, a maximum of thirty customers may enter the cafe. Just like everywhere else, the terraces must be kept at a distance of 1.5 meters. Reservations are not required there, although many cafe owners have chosen to do so. Similarly, Beachclub Twins. “We have 175 chairs on the terrace. First come, first served.”
Operators recently had to fit and measure to place the tables and chairs at the correct distance from each other. Many municipalities are cooperating and allow the terraces to be expanded, so that the food and beverage outlets have the space to receive people.
