La Fleur En Papier Doré

Brussels, Belgium

Known in Dutch as Het Goudblommeke in Papier, this is a historic heritage café in central Brussels operated by the non-profit VZW Geert van Bruaene. Its interior holds an accumulated collection of artefacts, photographs and texts tied to the café's literary and artistic history, and the venue hosts readings, concerts and conferences alongside normal café service. Its kitchen closed at the end of May 2023 so the house could concentrate on the café and its cultural program.
