Restaurants cuisine du monde Zwevegem

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.

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.

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!

A gastronomic oasis with an extensive wine cellar, it is one of the undisputed stars of the coast, with two stars in the Michelin guide. First of all, it is the story of a chef, Stefaan Buyens, whose diplomas as Master Sommelier of French Wines (or maître-queux) counts 600 wine references on the wine list! He is also an artist whose plates titillate the eyes as much as the taste buds. The magic words of lobster, caviar or truffle punctuate with force a seasonal cuisine, even market cuisine, tinged here and there with a hint of exoticism.

When you enter this dark, contemporary restaurant, you expect to find sophisticated dishes. And that's exactly what you'll find at this contemporary restaurant, which does a marvellous job of cooking fish and seafood, as well as meat carpacci. For starters, take a look at the scallops with braised chicory and pata negra, or the beef carpaccio with arugula and parmesan, followed by a filet of grilled sea bass with braised asparagus. You'll be salivating over it and have more appetite than a barracuda, that's for sure.

A nice little spot for lunch: you can sit on school chairs in a room that's always full, or at the counter, like the line of lunchtime diners. In fine weather, there are also pleasant outdoor tables. Here you can eat on the run: a salad, pasta or a light lunch, brimming with fresh, well-sorted and deliciously seasoned vegetables. Affordable, adorable and personable, especially when you see the team busy in the open kitchens.

This family-run hotel-restaurant just a stone's throw from the beach is all about relaxation and a vacation atmosphere. Its best feature is the Aquafit Center, with a large indoor pool, sauna and whirlpool. The rooms are all different. Some have pretty pictures on the wall, while the luxury suites have a terrace and whirlpool bath. The hotel also offers family suites and individual villas for greater privacy and space. To complete a detox stay by the sea, the restaurant offers vegetarian and vegan alternatives.

Located in an elegant room (of the Carnac hotel), the lobster specialties have established the reputation of the house, with all the sauces: way beautiful sight, with garlic butter or lemon, with tomato and basil. During our visit, we tasted the homemade fish terrine and the lobster bisque as a starter, and as a main course, a classic of the most efficient, sole meunière, nicely prepared and delicious. As for the meat, the filet with pepper and cream sauce or the crown of lamb with garlic and rosemary stand up well. A tasty cuisine at fair prices.

It is in the enchanting setting of the former Château van Merris that the restaurant Manoir Ogygia welcomes its guests for a gastronomic and romantic dinner. If you can't afford to stay there, treat yourself to the luxury of a dinner. Depending on your desires and your budget, the chef offers you a bistro menu or a more refined menu per evening, no more. Only with fresh seasonal products, whose menu evolves with the seasons and according to the creativity of the chef at the stove. The service is worthy of the greatest restaurants, the wine list is top-notch.

The sober, stylish interior exudes a hushed, warm ambience, enhanced by the open fire. Lady chef Christa Cappelle is supported by her husband Rik Van der Meersch in the dining room, who knows how to recommend the best wines. The menu changes with the seasons, of course, but the house specialty is bouillabaisse with lobster. A treat that doesn't overshadow the rest of the carefully simmered menu, where, surprise, you'll sometimes find garlic frogs' legs. Are there any French people in the room?

This restaurant is decorated with Pop'art paintings. For lovers, choose the tables near the open fire. Let's go to the table: the specialities range from the home-made foie gras terrine and its jelly to old port, oven-roasted lobster, lemon butter, green eels, North Sea bouillabaisse and game such as pheasant and venison, and the shellfish risotto which is unanimously appreciated. As for dessert, the Tatin tart and its speculoos ice cream. Remaining at the top of the culinary art is the challenge of Ronny Venus and Ann Hoflack!

This is a fine address. Not only is the Belle Époque house splendid, typical of the Flemish coast with its corbelled facade and pretty garden terrace, but the food is fabulous, both in terms of aesthetics and original compositions. There are no main courses or starters here, just a list of seasonal dishes to choose from in tapas, starter or main course versions, simplicity itself. Lobster, fish and seafood are just as varied as the meats. As an added bonus, the restaurant's extended opening hours are a rarity in the region.

With its cosy interior, this is the ideal place for romantic dinners. All homemade, of course. And with love! Just look at the pretty amuse-bouches for proof. In the kitchen, the chef has become a specialist in pan-fried foie gras caramelized with apples, homemade filet de sole and lobster prepared in a variety of ways, not forgetting the game dishes that, in season, feature on the menus. In the dining room, the professionalism is faultless. No false notes, right down to the cellar, home to a treasure trove of gems.

This unpretentious Lebanese-Syrian family restaurant offers authentic and tasty cuisine served in generous portions. From the kitchen escapes the music and oriental fragrances. The stars: Lebanese tabbouleh with bulgur, parsley and lemon juice, and the classic shawarma. You can set your sights on a crunchy fattoush salad, babagaboush (roasted eggplant and pomegranate, fabulous), foul (with beans and tahini yoghurt) or falafel, with a touch of orange blossom, a delight. Small prices perfect for voracious stomachs.

"We have the pleasure and privilege of welcoming you with flavors, aromas, colors, and local, seasonal products." The promise is engaging, and the address is full of treasures. The setting is pleasant, with a strong, elegant wood finish. There are themed and seasonal menus. The must-tries are rib-eye steak with béarnaise sauce and beurre maître d'hôtel, homemade steak tartare or a tender fillet of beef. The team is attentive and the wines are well chosen, making for an excellent dining experience.

Crommenwal is a brewery highly appreciated for its warm and refined atmosphere as well as its quality cuisine.

A good address in Tielt.
