It’s sometimes hard in Bruges to find a quiet cafe terrace to sit out in the sun. But you might try The Vintage at Westmeers 13.
Located close to the Concertgebouw, the sunny terrace attracts a mix of locals and tourists.
The interior is furnished like an antique store with old beer signs, painted statues of Catholic saints and a rusty motorbike hung from the rafters.
People come here for the long beer list, the homemade spaghetti and the live concerts. The bar has no less than eight beers on tap including the locally-brewed Brugse Zot and dark red Rodenbach from West Flanders.
