Welcome to Flanders!
Let winter finally retreat to Siberia whence it came. Let us have spring and spring classics. From here on we have three weeks of beautiful cobbled racing. The best time of the year with wind, mud, dreary flemish villages, painfaces, frites, massive crowds, doodsmaks, echelons, Sporza and much much more. Here at the cafe we celebrate these weeks the way they were meant to be celebrated and the fun starts here.
