On a review on Google Maps, there's a comment by Motto, in
Dutch, that kettles are not part of the 'brand identy'. However,
brand is the Dutch word for
fire. So Google's
English translation makes it look like kettles have been identified as a fire risk.
Unfamilliar with the kettle option, I had brought my own travel-kettle, that I probably last used ten years ago when I still visited brands like MotelOne and B&B. It really smelled so 'electrical' that I was afraid it would set off the fire alarm.

If you tell your in-laws that the Pesca restaurant only serves fresh fish from the locally renowned
Royal Schmidt Seafish co., I bet they will certainly check it out, and they will even come to appreciate you as a connoisseur.
