Den anker — Restaurant in Ypres

Very Sadly this will be our last Visit here whilst I can’t fault the Food The service was Shocking having booked a table where our Daughter was out of the way in her wheelchair which is where we Always sit as it’s the best place for our daughters chair the lady matriarch wanted us moved and she made such a fuss About it and caused such a scene in front of the other Diners that I nearly walked out there and then… We had booked the table The night before with the owner! After creating a scene we were then told they had a booking for 7 so we had to move but we were put in the opposite corner I’m guessing so as the wheelchair was hidden …. as they then proceeded to sit another couple there all very Odd Behaviour…. the rest of the Staff Anew team (Not surprising if she treats her Staff the way she treats her Customers )seemed Subdued on this Occasion and not the happy friendly Staff we’d Encountered on previous visits We visit every two months and have done for the last 5+ years On this Occasion we’d planned to have a 3 course meal and a few drinks but After the scene created my husband just had a Flemish stew I had Bolognese and headed to the ice cream parlour so much friendlier … So in monetary value they lost out and where we usually bring our friends every two months I’m sure not keeping your customers happy will mean they go Elsewhere As we will and we will Also Avoid the other restaurant/Tea Room ...

Touristy area and it notices. The food was okay but nothing to remember. The staff was friendly and spoke really good English which helps. I'm sure there are other restaurants that are better, but we got seated immediately and had a decent meal so all good. Also, the price was totally fine, especially considering what some of the neighboring restaurants seemed to charge for similar food. The only really negative thing was their small umbrellas on the patio. They didn't really cover anything, so the light rain was a bit annoying. Almost better to not have them at all and close the patio...

It's top notch, number 1.

5 of us at short notice during a busy service in a packed town were found, with a bit of juggling, a table to enjoy, what I must say, the most perfect meal.

Our waitress was a star, an able linguist, funny, polite beyond requirement and she made our night.

The food was well prepared and served quickly. I had the Flemish Stew and it was amazing. Some had the pork cheeks and were as equally happy as I.

I thoroughly enjoyed the and I recommend this restaurant without any hesitation.
