St Arnoldus — Restaurant in Ypres

A great bar with a great selection of beer. Super friendly host & staff who were happy to recommend more than one or two of their draught beers, each one we enjoyed, returning for a second time to enjoy several more of their beers the following night.

We also had plates of their salami & cheese with mustard, very basic yet tasty and clearly a popular tapas dish in Ypres as its served at many places - it certainly filled a gap. It's a comfortable bar with seating outside pavement side, inside and in the rear covered garden with patio & deck heating. All beers are served in 33cl glasses, all with their respective brewery logos. You don't need more than 33cl a glass as the beers range from just over 4% proof to over 10%, each one with a unique flavour.

So if you like beer you'll love St Arnoldus, a great place to sit back & enjoy a slow glass of great beer.

Location-wise it's good, you can see the Menin Gate from the front pavement area, it's about 100 metres 🍺 🍻.

Visited multiple times in 2022 and again this year, 2024. Same good service combined with a great range of beers.

This is the only place in Europe I've been so far that had a drink to me within a minute of ordering it, and I wasn't sitting at the bar! The beers are fantastic and the food is tasty. If you have too many beers, there's a hotel here as well. I had already set my sites on this restaurant earlier in the day, but when I asked a local where the best place for beer and food was he suggested this cafe right away. I was...
