The service is excellent and the light fare is terrific as is the coffee. The quiche is particularly good. There are also some tempting baked goods available though I did not partake. The prices are quite reasonable as you can get a coffee and a light bite for around €10. If you are around Menepoort, this is a great option for a respite.

Located right outside the Menin Gate, Coffee Break is a small 2-story cafe that not only serves…read morecoffee, but small plates, pastries, and even ice cream. I stopped in here before going to watch the memorial ceremony at the gate for a cup of coffee. It wasn't bitter at all and not too watery either. The brand of coffee they serve is called Cafe Liegeois, and I thoroughly enjoyed my cup. They have a couple outside seating, but I recommend sitting comfortably in their little terrace upstairs. The inside overall is nicely decorated, and is a great place to actually take a ''coffee break'' ;)

Along with its neighbors, it offers an extensive outdoor dining area. The indoor facility is also nice having a lovely nostalgic feel with additional seating upstairs as well. My server did a rather good job during my visit. Using English was not a problem at all. The highlight of my meal was a terrific shrimp and tomato salad that was fresh and tasty. The shrimp were the small local variety which I find to be particularly enjoyable. The meal was accompanied by tasty frites, as would be expected in Belgium. I finished with a very nice coffee that topped things off in a very satisfying manner. The prices were not bad considering the overall dining experience. In general, It was an enjoyable time and a reasonably good meal. I am confident in recommending this restaurant as a good choice for good quality dining with a local flair.

However, I guess that is only for my curioisty and that much of what happens in cafes is on the outside. Anyway, this cafe was okay, nothing special, but okay. The coffee was nice, the staff okay, and the prices pretty expensive. It was an okay place, but not some place that I would rush back to.
