This is a joint-venture between the young people of Bruges and the commune of Bruges. It is a wonderful looking bistro with great selection of food and drinks. It is run by young people who are fluent in multiple languages and eager to help you out with any small detail. It may be crowded which may lead to long waiting hours but usually you are met with the most friendliest crew of Bruges.
