The best restaurants Zwevegem

The De Helleketel in the village of Watou is the oldest bistro in the area, having opened in 1895 - over a hundred years ago! It not only serves local beers, but also small snacks (country bread sandwiches, pâté, etc.), all in a rustic, traditional setting. The wooden tables, sometimes covered with waxed tablecloths, plunge us into an atmosphere worthy of our grandmothers' cooking. In fine weather, you can gather around the large wooden tables on the sunny terrace.

Situated in a late-17th century building that used to be Oeren's town hall. Of the eight beers on offer, seven are made by the De Bie brewery. One Grimbergen beer is available for those with more mainstream drinking habits. Food is also available.

An interesting beer list notable for a good selection of gueuzes and krieks. Situated in a Belle Epoque villa close to the area's charming tram station (on the route that runs the length of the Belgian coast).

In the middle of the Flemish land, we rest here in the middle of the greenery. After a good night's sleep in one of the well-decorated rooms, you can enjoy a full breakfast buffet. The owners of the sites are always available to provide advice on the region, offer you itineraries for walks and even rent bicycles.

L'Estaminet de Peerdevisscher is a restaurant offering various seafood and fish specialties typical of Bruges, such as grey shrimps and North Sea fish. Customers can also enjoy more well-known Belgian dishes such as Flemish carbonades, French fries and shrimp croquettes. This is a very touristy restaurant, popular with those wishing to discover Belgian cuisine. Don't forget to make a reservation!

This beautiful brewery, whose decoration has recently been modernised, is located on the square of Roeselare. The menu is varied and offers snacks, salads, soups, specialities such as croquettes (shrimp, ham, cheese) as well as the house classics: melon, smoked salmon plate and beef carpaccio. The terrace is very pleasant on sunny days. The service, very friendly, finishes making this place a mandatory stop.

This restaurant has a beautiful family history. It is the second version of The Flying Carpet opened by the parents of Chef Felix and was a great success in its time. The flavors of the bistro's cuisine have been kept by adding boldness and creativity. For example, you can enjoy haddock with black garlic, cucumber and ginger or pigeon with young onions and chanterelles. The menu changes very regularly since the products are fresh, seasonal and local. If the weather permits, book a table on the terrace to make the most of the charm of the place.

Here is a nice little café. Especially since it is named after the mascot of the Petit Futé! A fresco with red foxes brightens up a whole wall inside and a poor stuffed wolf invites you to enter. Fortunately, no fox on the menu but a nice beer menu and a small restaurant. One notices immediately the slicer of competence which is enthroned beside the bar. Let's go for a platter of high quality Italian cold cuts (maybe you won't be hungry anymore). The interior is cozy with its large tables and benches.

In the class tavern, the witch's chair (literal translation) acts as a standard master. It is true that the decoration is particularly careful and original. Whether it's the authenticity of the framework, the achievement of regional recipes, the friendliness of the service, everything here helps recreate the atmosphere of relaxation and conviviality. On the restoration side, the rabbit thigh at the three Monts, the witch's cooker or the stew at the Moinette are to be discovered… unless you prefer boards or grills. In the face of so many advantages, it is obvious that the reservation is more than preferable, unless you take advantage of the waiting room, accoudé at the bar, enjoying one of the countless beers on the map.

Thierry and Ann Vancopenholle have taken over this restaurant since 2006. Already known to the gourmets, it is in the Belgian Hainaut at the restaurant Le Bouquet in Orroir, that they made their weapons. A great challenge for this couple, but not so simple when you go into uncharted territory… Mission accomplished for the makeover of the restaurant that actually puts the room in value, in current tones, without distorting the building. The atmosphere is warm and refined and allows for privacy thanks to the well-spaced tables. On the map, classic, fine and tasty gourmet cuisine will meet the requirements. Some examples to put you in appetite. Entry: a sweet liver steak on mango salad with sweet spices, balsamic vinegar with cocoa accompanied with a hot brioche. In line of resistance: a back of cod roasted with thyme and lemon, creamy champagne and petits from Namur poêlés to sweet garlic. Try the menus where the food and wine agreements have been carefully developed. Very nice table in its category. Do not hesitate to lunch on the terrace, the garden is superb, the time will be more pleasant!

As his name does not indicate, here, when you settle at the table, it is for lunch or dinner. Make your games, or rather make your choice. A very interesting map that intermixed classic dishes and salads, especially pasta. A bar next to the restaurant, more commonly known as the red room, allows you to take a first drink, before starting the dice… sorry, the hostilities.

Arie, the owner of the premises, does not hesitate to host receptions and seminars in this renovated farmhouse. For years, the address has been able to conquer many used people to the point that it is preferable to reserve to be sure to find a table. The fault of a refined kitchen that has no eyes only for fish and game in winter. In summer, a tavern-bistro formula is offered along with the terrace. Perfect for a little smaller budgets!

The framework blends a small spirit of land with a simple refinement. The service, sober and discreet, will preserve your privacy. You can enjoy traditional French cuisine, complemented by régionnales specialities such as shank. As a result of the seasons, gastronomic events will allow you to discover otherwise this charming place and to refine your palace to new places: " The Alsace Weekend "," L'honneur à l'homard "," Les Moules "," Le Festival du Jeu ".

With a solid experience in recognised institutions (Georges Blanc, As Chez Chez Soi, Bruneau and 6 years of De), Chef Gilles Joye has opened his own restaurant to share his culinary universe with new creations, discoveries and always around authentic tastes. With a reference to the rhythm of the seasons, the innovative and refined combinations will seduce you and put your water in your mouth. The dishes are accompanied by a map of selected French wines and wines from the glamorous world. His wife Muise will welcome you in the room with warmth and spontaneity. You will settle in a pleasant and quiet place that will allow you to take full advantage of your meal. On sunny days, the sun terrace welcomes you. The talent always ends up paying, since Gilles Joye got his first Michelin star… 4 years after opening! A great success!

Frederik Deceunick has followed a faultless career path, from his apprenticeship in prestigious establishments such as Georges Blanc and Château de Germiny (near Arbois) to the opening of this charming restaurant. In a sober, uncluttered setting, the chef offers a contemporary cuisine inspired by the seasons. A wine cellar offers over 300 references. You can also dine at the table d'hôtes overlooking the kitchen (6 or 8 people). Add to this a beautiful sea view, and you've got a place to call your own.

With its breathtaking view over Blankenberge harbor, the Victory has been attracting loyal customers for over 30 years, as well as visitors who come to enjoy the sunny terrace in fine weather. Seafood platters, grilled fish from the Victory bouillabaisse, lobster, but also simpler dishes: salads, mussels, pasta... In the morning, you can enjoy breakfast, and in the afternoon, crêpes and ice creams. And if the weather doesn't cooperate, you'll always find a nice table in the warm, maritime atmosphere of the dining room.

Original, trendy and contemporary restaurant, the interior has been relooked by the famous artist Antoine Pinto. The establishment has been run by the same family since 1970. The menu is classic, with Belgian specialities despite the confusing name. A few suggestions are added every day according to the seasons and the market. The sea view from the first floor is superb, as is the terrace on the sea wall. Children are welcome, a playroom is entirely dedicated to them (table football, game console, doll's house...).

These will surely be the best ribs you will ever eat in your life! The ribs, cooked slowly and patiently to give taste, are served at will and accompanied by salad, potatoes and a sauce of your choice. We recommend the successful "beer and chocolate". A good regional beer or a tannic red wine is sprinkled on the gullet to combine the flavours. The menu also offers aperitif boards, adding to the conviviality of the place. Above all, don't forget to make a reservation, as the tables leave very quickly.

This beautiful restaurant offers French cuisine with very creative influences. But there's no need to rush: the dishes are best enjoyed with the eyes! Great attention is paid to detail. The service is young, dynamic and professional. The decor is refined and successful. The restaurant is very popular in the region. Cod and ribs on the bone are in great demand. A must-stop! And don't forget: the establishment also offers top-of-the-range B&B accommodation! Enough to keep the pleasure going!

The chef makes no bones about his Norman origins in the kitchen. This warm, family-run establishment got off to a flying start with its seafood platter and original cuisine (specialities include flambéed veal kidneys, bouillabaisse and lobster halves with fine herbs). Yes, there's a beautiful harmony between land and sea on the menu. With its black-and-white photos hanging on the wall, the rustic yet elegant decor offers a rather chic setting. A lunch menu has recently been added to the menu.

Well known for the comfort of its rooms, the Hotel Ariane is also well known for its restaurant. The team offers a cuisine combining tradition and modernity with local and seasonal products. On the menu, you will find the Westhoek pork bone chop or the fabulous fish brochettes (langoustines, monkfish with bacon, vadouvan sauce)... from the North Sea of course. The plates are nicely set up and showcase the products well. The atmosphere is friendly and the room is often full, so don't forget to book.

After an informative tour of the Kasteel Brouwerij brewery, come and sit on the large patio terrace. Start by ordering one of the 29 beers on draught. The restaurant team will then prepare a dish for you on a charcoal grill. We especially like the sharing dishes. Don't leave without trying the homemade ice cream. An upmarket brasserie that has kept its friendly and authentic spirit! You'll definitely come back!

Take the time to explore your purchases from the bookstore by sitting down at the Arhus café. Here you can enjoy iced tea, high quality teas and homemade desserts. You can even have lunch here and choose from current suggestions such as homemade stew, mushroom risotto or three-coloured pasta with fine vegetables. The place is bright and spacious. For the music lovers who dare, a piano is freely available... A delicious moment for those who read with moment of exception and sharing.

It is in a cosy city café atmosphere that your next meal awaits you. The service is attentive and all your culinary desires will be satisfied! You can eat home-made dishes: scampi, carpaccio, steak, salads, croquettes... If you want something local, try the karnemelkstrampers: mashed potatoes mixed with melted cheese, egg and shrimps. And don't forget to accompany your meal with a good regional beer. If you still have room, there are several ice cream sundaes waiting for you for dessert.

Here everything is fresh and combined with great skill by chef Jonas Aernout and his team. The dishes are changed regularly so that you can always enjoy seasonal products. Among the dishes to share are the famous nachos with spicy tomatoes, Italian ham, croquettes, mini-pizzas or fried shrimps. At lunchtime, you can also try more traditional dishes such as fillet of sea bass with buttermilk purée or beef tartar. A very high quality place.

We're far from the cliché of the seaside brasserie here, despite the vintage tiles on the floor. It's a resolutely contemporary bistro with a decor that's very much of its time (wood, copper...) and a menu that includes classics (excellent shrimp croquettes), tapas, burgers... but also themed evenings (sushi, steak, etc.), microbrewery beers, cocktails and, above all, the gin n'tonic that the house has made a specialty of. The interior is warm and inviting, but it's on the terrace facing the sea that we prefer to relax.

At the head of the Locàle team are two men: former chef of the famous Kok au Vin, owner and host Jürgen Aerts, and chef Hendrik Dequeker. Mixing local cuisine with influences from around the world (Asia, the Mediterranean...) but always in season. Here, all produce is sourced from responsible, local agriculture, a "short circuit" concept. In a warm bistro atmosphere, dishes are for sharing. It's fun and uninhibited, just the way we like it. It's also Bruges' new culinary spot, so reservations are highly recommended.

The Kaffee Damast is a friendly, trendy bistro. It's the perfect place for an aperitif with tapas, a brasserie dish or even a simple coffee break. Even if you're not planning to visit the Texture museum (which would be a mistake, after all...), drop in for a visit to this designer brasserie, which is pleasant and sometimes even musical. Concerts are regularly held here, including the VlazzJazzJamsession on the^3rd Sunday of the month.

The kingdom of Siam, the ancient name of Thailand, is featured in this small restaurant, which is always full (remember to make reservations). The owner is Thai and infuses an authentic taste into the plates, which are also very copious and affordable, while the Flemish owner is friendly. It didn't take us long to turn this into a canteen, as the people of Bruges have decided. The Tom Yam soup with shrimps and the Khung maksaman with chicken and yellow curry were delicious. We also recommend the Thai assortment as a starter to discover new flavors.

Thierry Cornelis and his wife Tjorven created De Kelle, which means "little sea". It is in fact this small channel found at low tide, between two sandbanks, where shrimp fishing is practised. Thierry also runs the hotel school in Koksijde. The chef starts from a classic base and adapts his recipes according to the succession of seasons, with southern touches in the summer and a more particular emphasis on regional products in the winter. Recently a welcoming garden was added to this beautiful place.

Welcome to this beautiful house with its quiet terrace under the trees. If the weather's gray, you'll find comforting benches and cushions to stretch out your arms. The setting is bright and tastefully decorated. The menu is seasonal, ultra-fresh and fairly traditional: beef carpaccio, porcini and pine nut ravioli, baked salmon and peas, grenailles... On the sweet side, the salted butter caramel ice cream is a success. Within these walls, you'll find a concept store selling decorative objects, clothes and books for hipsters.

The Hotel Damier, with its rococo facade, offers gourmet dining of the highest quality, tastefully decorated by the De Coene brothers in shades of green and wood that blend perfectly with the green plants and paintings. Large chandeliers, a soaring glass ceiling and wooden floors shape this noble room. The very nouvelle cuisine plates are colorful assemblages as delicious as they are beautiful! Aesthetically pleasing, with emulsion sauces alongside meats and fish cooked to perfection. Brasserie dishes, on the other hand, are less sophisticated.

This tapas and aperitif bar is the perfect place to share a meal with friends. The interior features rustic-style wooden furniture, as befits a tapas bar, but the deep emerald-green walls give it a contemporary touch. More than tapas, it's small dishes to share. We take a trip around the world of cuisine with American-style fried chicken, portobellos topped with tomatoes and feta, or a seasonal suggestion like Thai mussels. Smart move: one portion is enough for two.

It is on the former site of the Picanol factory, a famous Belgian loom manufacturer, that the restaurant De Fonderie was established. This brasserie is the trendy place in town. The decoration is very design, and the atmosphere is rather lounge-like. The interior terrace is very pleasant. On the menu, discover traditional but revisited Flemish flavours. The fish from the North Sea have a place of choice, in soup, in filet or in carpaccio. Entrecôte, hamburger royal and vol-au-vent will delight meat lovers.

In an elegant room with exposed brick walls, Amphora is a renowned restaurant in the eponymous hotel in Poperinge. It serves cutting-edge local specialties in sauce that curious epicureans will be delighted to try. Starters include shrimp croquettes with parsley or fried langoustines in a herb sauce; main courses include Poperinge eel with Bumblebee beer and butter sauce, pork cheek stew with triple St. Bernardus sauce, North Sea fish cassolette... The choice is vast and appetizing.

It's the restaurant that keeps Courtraisians coming back for more (reservations are recommended). Come for a quick lunch, or take your time for dinner in the evening. In a wood-panelled room with contemporary lighting, a young, smiling and efficient team is on top form. There's something for everyone: meat lovers (with the house burger), piscivores (cod and quinoa) and vegetarians (Big Peppa, a bell pepper stuffed with cheese, vegetables and walnuts). An inventive and cheerful cuisine. Special mention for the giant mellow-cakes for dessert!

Unique in Belgium, this rotunda sits at the end of a jetty that plunges more than 300 meters into the sea. Built in 1894, destroyed and restored more than once, the jetty is currently being restored to its 1930s appearance. In the meantime, you can still enjoy its restaurant, with its 360-degree panorama of the sea and beach. You can follow the rhythm of the tides while enjoying honest brasserie dishes, devouring a waffle after a stroll or just having a coffee or a drink for fun. A coastal icon!

Need a good breakfast? A quick, healthy lunch, a snack of crêpes or waffles, or simply a cup of coffee? Juliette is there. Well, rather than a Juliette, it's Sofie the hostess who offers you her menu of coffees and hot drinks of all kinds, fresh dishes at lunchtime, sweet treats in the afternoon and a few selected alcohols at aperitif time. The place is small, uncluttered, Scandinavian-style, but welcoming, with a few places on the street in fine weather. Remember to book in the morning.

Located right next to the Grand Place, this Brazilian sandwich shop is full of good cheer, offering hearty, delicious sandwiches and salads at low prices. Some are vegan, others are spicy, but all are prepared with fresh produce. The compositions are rather classic, but enhanced by a really varied and vitamin-packed crudités. There are also a few Brazilian specialties, such as pão de queijo, coxinha or bolinho de bacalhau, the fried appetizers so common in Brazil, and breakfast pastries.

Attention cult address! Regulars at 't Werftje are full of praise for this little restaurant, whose history dates back to 1905, when the port of Zeebrugge was founded. The Preem family is at the helm, and has preserved the old-fashioned atmosphere beloved of dockers and fishermen. What's on the menu? Shrimp croquettes, fish soup with rouille and crab salad gun. The chef may advocate simple, unpretentious cooking, but his dishes are nonetheless brilliantly executed.

This café, named after the film starring Catherine Deneuve, focuses on refreshing, inventive bistro cuisine. Never disappointing, with no unnecessary frills, the dishes sublimate beautiful flavors, especially steak, cooked to perfection here on its bed of arugula, as well as fish of course, married with original vegetal flavors. There are also world cuisine specialties, such as pad thai and vegetarian dishes for those looking for light, flexitarian fare. Trendy atmosphere and decor, beautiful day and night.

It's not easy to find a place to eat here, as the address is well known to the locals. What's more, its location, on the edge of the town center and 100 m from the Casino, makes it an ideal stopover, especially on the terrace. The speciality? The fish soup, divine and rich in North Sea fish, the seafood poêlées with lobster sauce are just as famous as the salads, hearty and light in summer, or the croques forestiers, for big eaters, all at low prices. The house's other secret weapon is its fresh crêpes, especially the strawberry crêpes in season, which are bursting at the seams.
