Recommended Places to Eat and DrinkIeper is particularly well equipped with restaurants and bars, many of which can be found in the Grote Markt in the centre of town. The following are recommended:
Den Anker On the north side of the Grote Markt, two doors down from the Cloth Hall, Den Anker (The Anchor) bills itself as a Brasserie, Tea Room, Restaurant, Grill and Traiteur (a venue for receptions, formal dinners, brunches and the like). Speciality dishes include mussels cooked in a variety of ways and Flemish Stew, which is a hearty dish of beef cooked in Guinness. There is a choice of set menus from around EUR 20 upwards. Dames Blanche, vanilla ice cream smothered in whipped cream and hot chocolate sauce and sirloin steak with parsley butter were particularly good as was the Irish coffee which, to my surprise and delight, was almost entirely free of coffee! As with most of the restaurants in the Grote Markt, al fresco dining is "de rigueur" in the summer but the tables and chairs come inside during the winter months when the temperature drops.
Int'l Kliene Stadhuis The Int'l Kliene Stadhuis is located right next to the Cloth Hall in the Grote Markt. Prices are very reasonable and the food hearty and wholesome. Particular favourites when I last visited were the spaghetti carbonara and the ham hock with mushrooms and potatoes washed down with the ubiquitous Irish coffee. Chairs and tables for outside dining from spring to autumn.
