My server did a rather good job during my visit. Using English was not a problem at all. The highlight of my meal was a terrific shrimp and tomato salad that was fresh and tasty. The shrimp were the small local variety which I find to be particularly enjoyable. The meal was accompanied by tasty frites, as would be expected in Belgium. I finished with a very nice coffee that topped things off in a very satisfying manner. The prices were not bad considering the overall dining experience. In general, It was an enjoyable time and a reasonably good meal. I am confident in recommending this restaurant as a good choice for good quality dining with a local flair.

Thank goodness it was close to the awesome B&B I stayed at (shout-out to Room's B&B!). Nothing makes you work up an appetite like pedaling 40 km around the Ypres Salient. Especially when you haven't ridden a bike since you were a kid and you are currently a chubby American tourist. I wisely rented a bike from that strange bikingbox place that has absolutely no signage. It's a convenience store right on the same road as the Menen Gate and my favorite store in all of Belgium: Shop & Go! This yummy food cost only about 10 Euros. And it was delicious! The friendly lady who took my order recommended that I get the fries with mayo, because 'when in Rome...' I was pretty grossed-out by the mayo-dipped fries, but the fries alone were amazing. They were light and golden-crispy. Perfect! My burger had a bunch of toppings like cheese and bacon and such. I have never had a tastier burger. And the beer! I was so tired from biking, I went for the huge size. Thank goodness it was just a short walk back to my B&B. Great meal, great trip! I loved Ieper so much! I would go back in a hearbeat!

Let it be known that this is the best burger place I have found in Europe thus far. A variety of regular burgers but also several variation. I had the sweet chicken and husband had the Big Giant. We had zero complaints, and neither did our kids who got a free toy with their kids meal. Highly recommend as the first place to eat in Ypres.

I recommend you read the menus displayed outside before making your choice. The beau reallllly wanted to go to this place, so I gave in. I had the Kriek Max beer on draught, which was super refreshing. For dinner, we shared the Flemish stew, which was plenty of food for both of us to share. The dish came with a bowl of salad topped with a creamy dressing, and a side of fries. The fries were ordinary, and not seasoned, because it's meant to be smothered into the stew. The stew was classic dark, loaded with beef and slow-cooked mushrooms and carrots. The flavor was good, but not spectacular. It seemed like a good hearty stew to me, and went well with my juicy, tart beer. If I was to return to De Trompet, I would try a different dish... possibly one of their omelets.

I decided to go with the Flemish stew and a glass of house wine. I was not disappointed at all. The stew had a wonder broth - very hearty with a hint of mushroom earthiness. The stew itself had plenty of beef in it as well as veggies. I originally was going to split a bottle of wine with a colleague, but they were out of that particular bordeaux so we both went with the house wine. The wine went well with the stew and it was good enough to have two glasses! Had I not been so full, I'm sure a third would have been in order. All in all I was very pleased and if I ever go back, I'm sure they will get my business again.

The only place to eat was De Herberg at the time so we went in and it turned out to be quite a surprise. It's a cafe but there is also good food to be had. First off I had a beer (Westmalle) and my lady had a cup of tea. The tea was served not with a chocolate or one of those speculoos coookies but a mini creme bruele! Nice touch. The menu wasn't very big but we both decided on the Flemish stew which came with a salad and fries/frites. This stew was amazing. I have lived in Belgium for a long time and although I don't often order this, it was by far the best I have ever had. Overall the meal was great. But wait, there's more... The place is also a bed and breakfast. I'm guess the reason for this, and B&Bs all over the area is for the number of Brits and Canucks who come to visit the area for the WWI history. This one looked quite good although we didn't stay so I cannot comment on the rooms. The cook and waitress, who I am guessing run the place and probably own it, were very sweet. JUST NOTICED THAT THIS THING GAVE ME AN ADDRESS IN ANOTHER TOWN. THE CAFE IS ACTUALLY IN PASSENDALE BUT YELP SEEMED TO THINK IT KNEW BETTER THAN I DID.
