‘t Zweerd

‘t Zweerd is one of the most characterful and longstanding brasserie addresses on the Grote Markt in Ypres, occupying a prominent position at the heart of the city’s most celebrated public space. Since June 2025 the restaurant has been revitalised under new energy, retaining its identity as a trusted neighbourhood brasserie and tearoom while introducing a refreshed menu and a contemporary approach to hospitality. Open daily from 10am to 11pm except on Wednesdays and Thursdays, the restaurant welcomes guests throughout the day — from morning coffee and pastries through to a full dinner service in the evening. The menu draws on Belgian brasserie classics, updated with a modern sensibility and a focus on fresh, quality ingredients. The sunny terrace overlooking the Grote Markt and the Cloth Hall is one of the most enviable dining spots in Ypres during the warmer months. Service is friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is convivial and inclusive. ‘t Zweerd is a reliable and enjoyable address for all visitors to the city, combining history, character, and quality in one of Belgium’s most iconic settings.
