The best restaurants De Panne

An institution in De Panne! This quality brasserie offers its sunny terrace or a cosy interior. You can enjoy traditional dishes, improved tapas, accompanied by delicious cocktails or a beer from the large variety offered. The planks of assorted tapas, but also the salads with generous and copious compositions, the meats cooked to perfection. Add to this a smiling team, good advice and low prices, which makes it a very popular address. It is better to reserve.

First of all, the setting: a panoramic view of the beach and sea at the end of the sea wall. Enjoy the sunsets over a cup of coffee, pick from the selection of snacks: oysters, homemade shrimp croquettes or opt for refined cuisine. De Witte Berg or "White Mountain" specialties: noble local produce set with vegetables and fruit and cooked to perfection, such as bouillabaisse à l'ostendaise, back of cod on creamy leeks and white wine sauce, as well as a menu of grilled meats and salads.

Close to the dam, nestled between several other restaurants, La Goulue stands out by its Art Nouveau decoration. It is comfortably placed on a soft chair or a soft seat, under a reproduction of the painter Toulouse-Lautrec (to which the name of the place naturally pays tribute), whether one specialty of fish or meat. Generous plates that hold the body. Mussel lovers will not miss those called "La Goulue", whose sauce is raised by a small secret house secret… and a nice and friendly mansion that makes the show in the vortex of the service.

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.
