Café In De Blauwe Hand

Occupying a corner of the Grote Markt is this inviting spot, as evidenced by its motto: 'A frosty mug of rich beer gives you warmth, joy and sweet pleasure.' One of the city's most historic cafes, it derives its name from its 17th-century customers – workers at a nearby dye shop – who would pop in for a jar, hands stained blue with indigo.
