Davy Devlieghere is back in his native village in the company of Marie-Julie, your hostess. This tastefully restored farmstead oozing with character sports a luxurious vibe and a tasteful colour scheme to celebrate French fine dining. First-class ingredients, like Anjou pigeon and sole, are allowed to shout their name thanks to last-minute preparations and rich sauces. The chef is a fan of wholesome, big-boned recipes, although he isn’t averse to sneaking in the odd exotic note.He may pair a warm tartare of langoustine with a frothy langoustine bisque and a tapenade of piquillo pepper, fresh s

Broes Tavernier hails his suppliers as “heroes”, which speaks volumes for his commitment to locally sourced produce. From asparagus and fish from the North Sea to partridges, he unfailingly selects the best. His creative, high-flying approach to cooking aims to let the ingredients shout their name. We recommend the insightful wine-food pairing suggestions. After a fine meal in this friendly establishment (great patio), pop into Eetalage and take a few goodies home.

The spruce, traditional façade of this ancestral castle-farmstead hides a vibrant modern interior adorned in warm colours. The peaceful terrace feels light years away from Bellem. The establishment has acquired a faithful cohort of regulars, lured back by Inge Herteleer’s enticing set and à la carte menus. Her seasonal cooking throbs with generosity and is dotted with contemporary touches to which she adds a Mediterranean twist come summertime. The shrimp fritters are stuffed to the brim, while a suave cognac sauce enhances pheasant and green peas and mint contrast with fresh prawns. Searingly

Filip Claeys is mad about fish. The grandson of a fisherman, he founded NorthSeaChefs, which endeavours to encourage consumers to eat lesser known and accidentally caught fish. Equally at home with red meat and top-drawer ingredients like langoustine, he loves wowing diners with dogfish. The menu always indicates the origin of the boats that supply the fish. Claeys’ style is inventive and unconventional, as delicate sauces and vinaigrettes showcase his classical training, whilst allowing his personality to shine through as he adapts to today’s trends. For example, he crafts flawlessly fresh No

A black and white tiled floor and an open fire set the scene in this plush bourgeois 19C home, but the comfort is entirely 21C, as is the splendid terrace to the rear. The chef has opted for a playful lineup of international influences, without forgetting his classical heritage. He might pair a tataki of bonito with a sweet-sour vinaigrette, or medium rare veal with black truffles, a tarragon mayonnaise and a bordelaise sauce. A choice of four-, five- and six-course menus, all of which overflow with intensity and flavour.

The interior of this eye-catching mansion on the outskirts of Ghent is more than a match for its magnificent exterior. The revamp, which has preserved the edifice’s period elegance and historic character, sports a wealth of luxurious contemporary details that are the height of tasteful. Chef Maurice and your hostess and sommelier, Deborah, celebrate life with their guests from start to finish courtesy of a fine dining experience and knockout wines. The chef goes out of his way to source outstanding ingredients with the occasional passing nod to his Zeeland roots. His extensive technical backgr

Ready for a whirlwind world tour? Marcelo Ballardin’s Italian-Brazilian roots, his globetrotting past and the international cast of the kitchen team are core to the DNA of this eatery. North Sea clams, Asian flavours or wild manioc roots from the Amazon Forest: the menu has clearly been extremely carefully designed and meticulously crafted. Chef Ballardin aims for simplicity, whilst accepting that this goal may entail a certain degree of complexity. He seeks a subtle balance between crisp acidity and velvety comfort. For example, he enhances quickly seared langoustines in a frothy, powerful sa

Dark floor tiles and bare brick walls set the scene in this historic edifice of Beernem, albeit elegantly paired with modern fixtures and fittings. Diners can choose between cosy nooks or the spacious glazed extension. The varied menu appeals both to fans of classical fare and to those keen to try out world cuisine. The veteran chef is equally at home with the ubiquitous shrimp fritter as with an Asian take on steak tartare. Honest, wholesome fare.
