The best restaurants Zeebrugge

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.

At the helm of the Blue Lobster... a passionate chef, Gilian Van Loo, who has found Zeebrugge the ideal place to express his talent and inventiveness. Thanks to the proximity of the port, the chef is able to focus on short supply chains, offering quality and freshness. In fact, he only works with fish from the North Sea. His idea is not only to offer the usual species such as sea bass or mackerel, but also to introduce lesser-known species such as common whitefish or silver whiting. Specialties: bouillabaisse and North Sea lobster.

For many, Tijdok is above all the best fish soup in the region! Chef Marianne Pauwaert prepares it according to her own recipe, which won her the competition for the best Flemish fish soup. She prepares it with common whitefish, red gurnard and common pout... and a good dose of talent! The freshly caught fish is cooked in the traditional way, offering a bouquet of flavors such as fried cod fillet or shrimp cocktail. An address much appreciated by the locals.
