Het Goudblommeke in Papier ("The Paper Marigold") or La Fleur en Papier doré ("The Gilt-Paper Flower") is a historic café/brasserie established in 1944 at 55, rue des Alexiens/Cellebroersstraat in Brussels, Belgium.[1]
The painter René Magritte, the novelist Louis Paul Boon, and the cartoonist Hergé were all at one time regulars.[2] It was a meeting place for artists in the CoBrA movement, and in 1955 the writer Hugo Claus held his wedding reception there.[2]
The café was registered as a protected monument in 1997.[1] The building is owned by the Public Centre for Social Welfare of the city of Brussels, and partially sublet by AB InBev to the association that runs the café.[2]
Since May 2011, the interior courtyard of the pub displays a comic strip fresco by the cartoonists De Marck and De Wulf (Stam et Pilou).[3]
In January 2021 it was reported that the COVID-19 pandemic in Belgium had left the business's future precarious, which resulted in a bankruptcy in 2022.[2] As of May 2023, the café has reopened with a new manager.[4]
