Boo Raan

★ Michelin€€Thai, Traditional Cuisine

(Temporarily closed) Boo Raan is the best Thai restaurant in Benelux. The buzzy vibe of this exotic establishment, traditionally appointed in bamboo, immediately incites you to take a seat as you drool over the menu. The real show takes place in the open kitchen, in which Dokkoon Kapueak and her all-women team craft a wide range of authentic dishes from northern and southern Thailand to order.

Sel Gris

★ Michelin€€€€Creative, Contemporary

A suave grey colour scheme depicts the sleek, understated interior of Sel Gris, whose cosy comfort is underscored by designer fixtures and luxury finishings. However, the view takes centre stage here, as the restaurant stands on Duinbergen dike and commands a knockout panorama of the beach and the North Sea. The latter is a boundless source of inspiration for Frederik Deceuninck, whose enthusiasm can be tasted right from the appetisers. He mingles creativity and delicacy in expertly crafted recipes, often presented in several small plates with a meticulous sense of detail. You will notice his

Blanco

David and Celine describe Blanco as “highly Instagrammable” and the trendy interior definitely ticks all the boxes: fashionable, airy and buzzy! After a refreshing cocktail or a glass of natural wine, you will sample dishes of Mexican inspiration with a scattering of European touches. Tangy ceviche of gambero rosso with bloody oranges and leche de tigre, tacos stuffed with slowly cooked pork, pineapple and a pico de gallo sauce, or subtly spicy chipotle, ajo blanco (white gazpacho) and super fresh fish from the North Sea. A meal at Blanco is a genuine culinary adventure best shared… Unsurprisi

He also has some fantastic wine recommendations up his sleeve. Upon entering the restaurant, you will catch a glimpse of the mother and son at work in the kitchen. You can opt for the more creative set menu or order à la carte from a selection of traditional robust Mediterranean classics like vitello tonnato and spaghetti vongole. Don't miss the osso buco – the meat is unbelievably tender, and that typically rich tomato sauce is simply divine.

La Rigue

€€€€Belgian, Classic French

The stunning La Réserve hotel boasts a brasserie that is fully the equal to its classy host. The Zegemeer landscape, visible from the handsome terrace, provides the perfect foil to this urbane restaurant. Local foodies swarm here, like bees to a hive, for its lineup of patriotic and Gallic favourites, jazzed up with a delicate new spin. For example, a subtle carpaccio of scallops is paired with tart green apples, avocado and salmon roe, while a bouillabaisse of North Sea fish, langoustine and lobster explodes with big-boned gutsiness… Finish your meal with a flamboyant flambéed crêpe suzette.

Dah Makan

€€€Fusion

Cod marinated in miso and grilled on a robata, served with crunchy veg and lashings of frothy beurre blanc spiked with yuzu… Dishes to share such as these explain the success of this snug eatery. The culinary score, depicted by Asian flavours and western influences, demonstrates a clear preference for superior produce such as wagyu beef or crab from the North Sea, which are often finished on a robata grill or teppanyaki griddle. The menu is almost impossibly varied!

Esmeralda

€€€Classic Cuisine

Stefan Verhasselt has been at the helm of this elegant edifice, next-door to Knokke casino, since 1975. His vast experience can be felt and tasted in every detail and particularly in the choice produce, which is mainly from the sea. He has a flair for transforming Zeebrugge shrimp into crispy fritters and his sole meunière garnished with fresh tartare sauce and piping hot fresh fries is second to none. Rather than complex or fussy preparations, you will be treated to a banquet of classical know-how, illustrated by the house specialty, seabass in a salt crust.

Carcasse

€€€€Meats and Grills, Grills

An artisan butcher, Hendrik Dierendonck chose to open the first offshoot of his meat-lover’s establishment in Knokke’s Oosthoekplein.

The performance continues in the plate, with an appetising blend of flavours and textures and enticing veggie dishes. The chef doesn’t hesitate to spice up traditional recipes, flanking lobster and turbot, for example, with deftly crafted side dishes such as asparagus flan, a gutsy lobster béarnaise and a poivrade of fried artichokes. The sommelier may suggest an elegant mineral wine, echoing the establishm

Bristol

€€€Farm to table

This bright, spacious brasserie on the seafront has been a landmark of Knokke-Heist for aeons. Expertly prepared Belgian classics are the specialities of the house. Think crispy shrimp croquettes (said to be the best around!) and pan-seared sole with a tartar sauce prepared à la minute. The chef loves working with North Sea fish, but also has a passion for meat dishes and seasonal specialties, such as hop shoots with mousseline sauce. These timeless brasserie classics are simply irresistible!

't Kantientje

€€€€Traditional Cuisine

Pille Senior and Junior work side by side in the kitchen of this elegant canteen in the picturesque village of Ramskapelle. In summertime, the terrace is very popular.
