Famous for the Wipers Times there is aptly a beer named after it which is well worth trying. The fresh bread, cheese and ham with pate is a really good not too heavy but plenty big enough lunch.

We went when it was busy. Full of locals. On a Sunday AM, that is likely a good thing. English…read moremenu. All we had were drinks and ice cream. The ice cream was homemade and out of this world according to my daughter. And she is picky. Looks like a great dinner spot. I would go back and try the full menu. It contained a lot of local house recipes that sounded interesting.

It's the main market square in front of the Cloth Hall in Ieper (Ypres). The square itself may not…read morebe that impressive at first glance. It's the architecture of the buildings around it that make it appealing. You'll also see memorials such as the ones that commemorate French & Polish soldiers that died defending Ieper in WWI. You may even spot a bronze "Lost Key" embedded in a cobblestone while walking around the square. It's part of a public art installation memorializing civilians who lost their lives during the bombing. Our visit was on a Saturday. That's when the parking lot is turned into a farmer's market. This market has been a weekly tradition that dates back to medieval times. There were many people coming and going throughout our time there. Do be careful when walking across the streets near the square. The traffic flows freely around it. There were no pedestrian crosswalks while we there in May 2026. We did see cars and bikes whipping around blind corners without slowing down. Just something to be aware of as a pedestrian. We had lunch at the Dépot after our visit to the "In Flanders Fields" Museum. It was such a great meal. There were so many great food options to choose from when exploring the area. The Peter de Groote Chocolatier was a great last minute stop for chocolate before heading back to Zeebrugge. It was our first time visiting the Flemish side of Belgium. It turned out to be a very memorable experience. I totally recommend it to anyone interested in WWI history and Flemish culture.

Okay, this may be another of the many market squares found scattered across Europe, however the…read morething that caught my attention when I was here at least was that they had a very festival atmosphere with rides and food stalls. In fact I wasn't sure whether this was a short term festival or whether this was something that was going on, at least for the summer. Come night the entire place filled with people and in fact it was pretty difficult trying to find a seat after grabbing something to eat. It was definitely an experience, though I didn't go as far as going on one of the rides.

The service is excellent and the light fare is terrific as is the coffee. The quiche is particularly good. There are also some tempting baked goods available though I did not partake. The prices are quite reasonable as you can get a coffee and a light bite for around €10. If you are around Menepoort, this is a great option for a respite.

Located right outside the Menin Gate, Coffee Break is a small 2-story cafe that not only serves…read morecoffee, but small plates, pastries, and even ice cream. I stopped in here before going to watch the memorial ceremony at the gate for a cup of coffee. It wasn't bitter at all and not too watery either. The brand of coffee they serve is called Cafe Liegeois, and I thoroughly enjoyed my cup. They have a couple outside seating, but I recommend sitting comfortably in their little terrace upstairs. The inside overall is nicely decorated, and is a great place to actually take a ''coffee break'' ;)

I was given a recommendation to go to this place for pastries, and I was satisfied with it! They…read morehave very decorative pastries that made my mouth water. I got the class Cat Claw (?) pastry that was good. A lot of locals come here so it's definitely a spot to check out for a pastry or dessert!

I got greeted by the owner, which made me feel welcome here. Something I value a lot!…read more I loved the interior, even though it's a small business they have done very well with decorating the inside. The salad bar, floor, walls, tables were all clean and kept clean the entire time ... it's easy to forget how important it is to provide customers with a clean environment. Especially when the business's main focus is health. There's a lot of options on the menu, and if even then you can't find something you like, you can create your own salad. I'm always one to create my own when going to a new place, just so I get to taste different ingredients. I composed a salad with carrots, spinach, greens, tomato, pasta, grapes, red onions and green onions covered in a spicy dressing (oil). The ingredients were all fresh and tasted as they're supposed to. I was disappointed in the dressing as it wasn't as spicy as I had wished. The salad was well presented as all the ingredients were put on top or next to each other (refer to the attached picture). But what makes 'LOW C' so special? When visiting 'Simply Salad' in the United States, they offer to cut or toss the salad, that's right. They mix it all together and yet make it look wonderful... it's amazing. Maybe 'LOW C' could add the option of cutting the salad and toss it after... makes it easy for the customer to eat and add a little extra to the meal prep. Trust me, it works. The business 'Sweet Greens' in Hollywood, California, provides you with warm rice, meat, and other add-ons which give your salad a lovely variety in temperatures. As the health industry in Belgium is rising, it's only a matter of time before big branches come overseas and swipe away the lovely businesses individuals have created here. Be ahead of them. Right now, the dish I had at 'LOW C' is one I could create myself at home with the basic ingredients they had here. Therefore my suggestions are: -Add different and special salad dressings that make you stand out. -Find a creative and new way to create the salad bowls (cutting, warm ingredients) -Add cool and delicious ingredients: sweet potatoes, raisins, ... -Add some healthy juices to the menu, I mostly noticed sweet drinks (apple, pineapple, banana, etc)... Try adding some cleanse juices: kale, carrots, beets, ... . -Every hour someone should check the toilets... they were clean but the business had run out of paper towel so I had to use toilet paper for my hands. I loved my visit here and when in the area I will return. I hope they excel.
