Nestled in the heart of Poperinge on Casselstraat, De Wijngaard is not just a café; it’s a vibrant hub where the essence of local culture comes alive.

Upon entering, you’ll be greeted by an old-world charm that includes a cozy interior, rich with stories and memories. The ambiance is inviting, as the warm wooden accents and thoughtful decor create a comforting space to relax and unwind. Frank Pottie, a delighted customer, beautifully encapsulated this experience by describing De Wijngaard as "an authentic village café in the center of Poperinge" with a stunning "krulbolbaan" that adds a unique touch to your visit.

Speaking of the krulbolbaan, it serves as the café’s signature attraction. You can indulge in a convivial game of curling while enjoying refreshing beverages. Many guests rave about the friendliness and helpfulness of the owners, who are always eager to share the game’s rules and nuances. Sabine Van Daele found the experience so delightful that she recommended it as “an absolute must-try!”

De Wijngaard is not only about fun and games; it’s also about fostering relationships and creating memorable experiences. As Peggy Van der Kelen put it, "For a fun and cozy atmosphere, you have to go with mom and dad." This sentiment resonates with visitors who find themselves returning for more than just the food and drink – they return for the connections made and the laughter shared.

Whether popping in for a quick drink or spending an afternoon engaged in conversation over a game, De Wijngaard encapsulates the warmth of Belgian hospitality. So, gather your friends or family, and immerse yourself in the joys of this beloved café in Poperinge.
