We arrived without booking and they managed to squeeze us in as long as we had left by 8pm. That was fine as we needed to leave by 7.15pm ourselves.
The food was nice,beef stew and fish stew. My beef was very tender and tasty and I loved the chicory slaw. My husband commented that there was too much sauce with the fish stew compared to the amount of fish, however it was tasty. His mashed potato was lumpy ( he has a real issue with this and had to have my chips instead).
The beers were good and the staff were very friendly.
Good simple food in a great environment - we left happy :)

I had a business dinner with Kiwanis Ieper. Fantastic Flemish menu: steak béarnaise, pommes frites and salad, good wine. Exquisite taste. Lady of the house, the chef and staf as usual high professional standard, giving you a posh feeling. We had dinner in the bigger restaurant room with all equipment available for a presentation. High standard interior with a huge chimney depicting wood carved hunting theme, one feels back in time in first class restaurant. This is a fine restaurant, well known by locals. If you are looking for a place with high standard menu and for value for money outside Ieper center, this is a place to go.

My wife had fish two nights running, there not being great choice for coeliacs. First night, OK. Second night, she asked for the fish to be cooked a little more but was still unsatisfied and (being coeliac) is very wary of eating anything she is not entirely comfortable with. The fish was returned uneaten. As we left, the owner told us in no uncertain terms, loudly and with pointing finger - the fish was perfect, the fish was perfectly cooked, we will pay for the fish! In other establishments, the manager would simply acknowledge the situation, express disappointment, maybe knock something off the bill. Not this one; so we argued about the meaning of customer service. This concluded with him giving us the whole meal for free (spiting himself) and barring us from the restaurant. Bizarre behaviour.
If you do eat there, be aware that the portions are huge and not enjoyably so.

Charming service, cosy surroundings, great beer, delicious home cooked local specialties and good value. Well worth the short walk away from the bustling centre to find this gem. Especially good if you are in a reflective mood after attending the last post ceremony.Thank You Alex and laura.

The restaurant's name, "In the Sun", was well chosen for the evening that we were there. It's located on the Western slope of the Scherpenberg hill, and it has a fine garden where all visitors will be served when weather permits. But inside, the restaurant is similarly worthwhile, with all kinds of decorations from the Jugendstil period. Cooking is fine, and you're welcomed with a rich choice of "amuses" that on it's own form a course. For the main course, the menu features some Flemish specialties (like "zurzelstoemp", a mash of sorrel and potatoes based on buttermilk), but those operating on the more conservative side will enjoy their steak of horsemeat that comes exactly in the way you want it, from "saignant" (rare) to well done. "Well done!" was also our overall impression when leaving.

In a group of four people, three people took the bistro menu, while the fourth person chosed for king crab and fish stew from the menu. Everything was well presented and very tasty.
My only negative comment is that we got a table near the stairs to the restrooms. Although we had booked the table long enough in advance and requested a quiet table, this worked well annoying.

When you enter the restaurant you feel cosy in the nice 'old flemish' interior.
You can notice that 'den heksenstoel' is a very busy restaurant, and when you see and taste the food for such an honest price you know why!
Highly recommendable for couples, familiys or groups who want to taste some good Flemish-French kitchen for an honest price.

The restaurant looks trendy and has an eclectic interior style, slightly unexpected in this rural setting. The food was very nice, one could immediately tell they source their ingredients locally. Sometimes there was not enough protein with the veg for my taste, and I didn't like any of the paired drinks, but overall this was very interesting.

Given the high quality of the food, the service and the ambience, we were surprised at how easy it was to book a table last Thursday and how quiet the restaurant was. It may be because it is not in the main tourist square, but tucked away in a side street with little obvious signage. But only two minutes walk from the Market Square, and well worth finding!
We enjoyed an amuse bouche, baked prawns, and one of us had deer calf fillet, and the other an excellent rack of lamb. Both main courses exceeded expectations, and melted in the mouth. The desserts were also very good.
The young lady who welcomed and served was friendly, polite and efficient. Compliments to her and the chef.
We will definitely return when next in Ieper.
