First and foremost I have to mention the cafe that faces the road. There is a small parking area adjacent to the road. we were taken here as part of a day tour around Ypres. We had a snck meal of bread, ham and cheese with a salad plus a drink. The food was ample and well presented. It was... More

I have been a number of times to this small museum but there is always something interesting there and the sandwich lunch is very pleasant. The chateau up the road has a great display of bunkers and old trench. Well worth a visit.

Lots of artifacts and local history, tends to be a stopping place for coaches so could be busy. Tells a good story - especially of some of the men buried in the grave yard over the road

You cannot help to feel what it must have been like to make such a huge hole in the ground? the noise, the smell, the sights they must have seen. Frightening. There is a small museum here and a café to stop for lunch well worth a visit.

I've been using the Hooge Crater restaurant for nearly 15 years and it just gets better. Nik and Ilse work so hard and still manage to be friendly to all. I take my little groups for a sandwich and to look at probably the best private museum in the Salient. Keep it up both of you!

I loved the pun (which isn't a pun at all) for this museum so it made us stop! My teenagers actually enjoyed this museum more than the award winning In Fanders Museum - because the displays are very large and there isn't a huge amount of reading! I think I paid 4 euro for me and 2 each for the... More
