Café Vlissinghe
Café · Flanders
Checked
Café Vlissinghe is Bruges' oldest café, with written records tracing it back to 1515 in two joined houses near the Sint-Anna quarter. It is known for its neo-baroque "old Flemish" interior of heavy beams and antique portraits, and for a walled garden where regulars play pétanque in summer. The café doesn't open until 11am, so it suits a mid-ride stop rather than an early departure, but the garden terrace offers a quiet break from the crowds around the Markt.
