Kaffee André

Kaffee André is one of the most beloved and highly rated addresses on the Grote Markt in Ypres, a stylish and warmly run family establishment where the focus is on freshness, quality, and genuine hospitality. The concept revolves around the short chain: ingredients are sourced directly from local and artisan producers, meaning that what arrives on the plate — whether a breakfast, a light lunch, or an afternoon treat — reflects the very best of what the region has to offer on any given day. The breakfast is a particular highlight, drawing guests from across the city and beyond: freshly squeezed juices, homemade pastries, beautifully cooked eggs, bread from artisan bakers, and the restaurant’s celebrated oversized Belgian waffles are among the signatures. The lunch menu offers a rotating selection of fresh à la carte dishes prepared in the open kitchen, visible to guests through a glass wall. The interior is beautiful and refined, evoking the atmosphere of a Parisian salon with a personal Flemish touch. A terrace on the Grote Markt provides views of the Cloth Hall. Kaffee André also offers breakfast boxes for home delivery. Closed Monday and Tuesday.
