The best restaurants Ieper

For the great bite, this address near the Grand Place serves as a huge boeuf of beef, gambas and large ribs. The service is charming, and the summer is a pleasure to enjoy the terrace with views of the Draps and St Martin's Cathedral. Here is a family restaurant all for good eating (and in quantity) or for a small break in the afternoon.

This former brewery was once an annex of the town hall... hence its name. In July and August, the terrace is very popular. The interior, for its part, has kept its charm with its old stones. The food is simple, tasty, rather copious and, to say the least, original with, for example, the menu of dishes served only with beer, such as the cooked plaice fillet, white butter sauce flavoured with Hommel beer, tomato, mushrooms and shrimps, Flemish carbonade à la Trappiste Rochefort, endives salad and French fries.

Well known for the comfort of its rooms, the Hotel Ariane is also well known for its restaurant. The team offers a cuisine combining tradition and modernity with local and seasonal products. On the menu, you will find the Westhoek pork bone chop or the fabulous fish brochettes (langoustines, monkfish with bacon, vadouvan sauce)... from the North Sea of course. The plates are nicely set up and showcase the products well. The atmosphere is friendly and the room is often full, so don't forget to book.

It is on the former site of the Picanol factory, a famous Belgian loom manufacturer, that the restaurant De Fonderie was established. This brasserie is the trendy place in town. The decoration is very design, and the atmosphere is rather lounge-like. The interior terrace is very pleasant. On the menu, discover traditional but revisited Flemish flavours. The fish from the North Sea have a place of choice, in soup, in filet or in carpaccio. Entrecôte, hamburger royal and vol-au-vent will delight meat lovers.
