Located in the heart of historic Liège, Le Cappuccino 1971 is a friendly spot to stop for a coffee.
Established in 1971 in the Hiroux cultural centre, this vintage cafe is a dark, mysterious den with exposed brickwork, wooden rafters and dim lighting.
Furnished with old armchairs, piles of magazines and round tables, the café has a serious, literary atmosphere.
It might look a bit odd, not very hip, but its young owners have created a warm, welcoming ambience with good music, photo exhibitions and excellent coffee.
