The best restaurants Le Coq - De Haan

If you're looking for a gastronomic interlude at a reasonable price, Jean-Philippe and Nele have just what you're looking for. Choose your formula and let yourself be regaled by these two restaurateurs who forged their name through renowned restaurants (De Tuilerieën in Bruges or De Savarin in Ostend to name but two) before embarking on their own adventure. Fine ingredients and hospitality are the order of the day. We recommend reserving a table on the bright and pleasant veranda! Reservations recommended.

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).

This Casanova will charm you in an instant! This gourmet restaurant on the seafront overlooks the beach and the North Sea, where the products are magnified on the plate. Start with prawns (fresh or in croquette form), continue with Ostend-style plaice or North Sea bouillabaisse, and finish with a soft chocolate fondant, all served in a bright, contemporary room lit by sunshine and hints of orange in the decor (I hear this color whets the appetite).

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.
