De Republiek
If you’re wondering where Bruges’s hipsters hang out, it’s here in this cultural complex, which houses a cinema, artisan workshop, and a bright, airy, industrial-style cafe/bar. The latter buzzes from noon until the wee hours, thanks to its well-priced lunchtime sandwich menu, affordable array of evening tapas, and late-night bar snacks. More substantial dishes include a vegan-friendly stuffed eggplant with quinoa; lamb with sweet potatoes, zucchini, and asparagus; or the catch of the day hailing from the North Sea. The coveted tables on the plant-filled terrace fill up quickly on sunny days, and on summer nights, it’s one of the best spots in the city for an al fresco cocktail.
