De Kromme Watergang

★ Michelin€€€€regional

With the Eastern Scheldt and North Sea serving as primary suppliers, and De Zilte Hof vegetable garden across the street providing the chefs with vegetables, fruit and herbs, De Kromme Watergang takes full advantage of the bountiful ingredients Zeelandic Flanders has to offer. That ambassadorial role is also reflected in the respect they have for the produce, which is evident in their nose-to-tail approach. Open since 1993, this beloved restaurant now mostly sees Tom Vinke at the helm of the open kitchen, as he gradually takes over from his father, Edwin.Here, produce is king, elevated by the

Located in Hoofdplaat, De Kromme Watergang is known for regional cuisine. Many reviews praise the high-quality, innovative food, particularly seafood like clams and lobsters, alongside warm atmosphere and friendly service.

Spetters

★ Michelin€€€regional

As soon as you enter this lounge-like restaurant, you are greeted by the breathtaking view of the boats bobbing about on the Western Scheldt. Spetters enjoys a prime location between the fish market and Breskens marina – and produce enthusiast Laurent Smallegange could not be happier as he showcases Zeeland's rich bounty, from Eastern Scheldt lobster to Sluis lamb. His cooking style is both creative and unassuming. The dishes are brought to life by international influences and zingy flavours, and the innovative preparation techniques are truly stimulating. Each creation is carefully conceived.

Spetters in Breskens is noted for its stunning marina views and pleasant atmosphere. Reviews frequently praise the high food quality, particularly seafood dishes like oysters and scallops, as well as creative presentations such as the 'bread walk'. Service is generally described as professional, friendly, and relaxed. However, some negative feedback highlights issues with meal pacing, including long waits between courses, and occasional inconsistencies in dish seasoning. A minority of reviewers felt the value for money was lacking given the portion sizes. While the ambiance and culinary execution are widely appreciated, visitors should be aware of potential service timing variations.

Suitable for diners prioritizing scenic views, ambiance, and refined seafood cuisine.

De Kromme Bistro

€€€Grills, Meats and Seafood

Walk through the wine cellar to discover this charming bistro, an extension of the renowned De Kromme Watergang. The lush garden and open kitchen, complete with a sturdy charcoal grill instantly catch the eye. With every bite, you will sense the chefs' deep-rooted passion for the seafood of Zeeland, which is showcased here in all its briny glory. Think cockles with finely chopped chives and a rich beurre blanc infused with the cockles' juices and a hint of lemongrass. But rest assured, they can just as easily barbecue a bavette steak or whip up a vegetarian creation. Brasserie cuisine with a u
