Café Vlissinghe
Bruges, BelgiumAbout Café Vlissinghe
The oldest café in Belgium — continuously serving since 1515, with a boules court in the garden, dark wood paneling, and a genuine sense of centuries of conversation having happened here. The Bruges locals come here to escape the tourists; the atmosphere is irreplaceable.
