De Ruyffelaer is a small restaurant in Ypres, open since 2003, which presents itself as grandmother's cooking in an old Flemish setting: wooden furniture, antique objects and traditional dishes. It is on the Gustave De Stuersstraat, two minutes from the Grote Markt.
When to go
Open on Friday and Saturday from 17:30 and on Sunday at lunchtime, from 11:30, and in the evening from 17:30. It is one of the few places with a kitchen where you can have lunch in Ypres on a Sunday. Special dates, such as Armistice week, add days; it is best to phone to book, because it is small.
Before the Last Post
If you dine on Friday, Saturday or Sunday, come in at 17:30 and you will be at the Menin Gate, a five-minute walk away, before 20:00.
What to order: a Flemish stew from the daily menu, home cooking
