Just a short distance from the centre of Poperinge, the hop capital, you will find De Leene - an ideal stop during a walking or cycling tour along the French border. A place where peace, warmth and authentic Westhoek flavours come together.
In the welcoming restaurant, Stefan and his team are happy to receive you. The kitchen focuses on fresh regional produce, such as sustainably raised beef directly from a producer in Lo‑Reninge and artisan products from Sowepo in Poperinge. The drinks menu features well‑known Westhoek beers including Keikoppenbier, Hommelbier and St. Bernardus.
In the afternoon, the inviting aromas of home‑made pancakes and warm waffles make De Leene the perfect spot for a tasty break.

De Leene is fully geared towards groups and warmly welcomes large parties of up to 130 people. Several group formulas are available, including:
breakfast stops with coffee and pastries
lunch menus with soup, a main course (meat or fish), dessert and coffee
afternoon coffee breaks with pancakes or cake
simple evening meals
Drink packages and fixed menus per group can be arranged, ensuring a smooth and comfortable visit. Prices are tailored to group visits.
Important: group visits are by reservation only, and one single menu applies to the entire group.
