A ‘bacôve’ is a large flat-bottomed boat used by the vegetable growers of the marshes of St Omer to transport their crops. It is emblematic of Camille Delcroix’ inspiration (Top Chef 2018 winner) and of his soothing, nature-inspired restaurant. He crafts razor-sharp menus, inspired by first-rate locally sourced produce in a surf ‘n turf vein. The chef’s preoccupation with presentation shines through, both in the choice of tableware as in the colours and graphics of each plate. Finally, Carla and her smiling team bend over backwards to make you feel at home.

Pluriel'

Modern Cuisine

€€€

Right in the centre of Saint-Omer, Pluriel' welcomes you in a bright, pared-back space with pale-coloured parquet floors, white walls and contemporary pendant lights. At the helm, Yohann Cornet rustles up cuisine that is both precise and expressive. His slow-confit free-range pork from South-West France is perfectly tender and rests on a bed of crunchy, roasted and puffed corn kernels. The crispy tuile is topped with fermented blueberry compote and fresh fruit, drizzled at the last moment with a glistening jus. The chef is well-versed in the classics!

Maison Akène

Creative

Isma'il and Inès Guerre-Genton now run their own restaurant on the village square in Ardres. Behind a spruce white façade, the elegantly understated interior is done out in a palette of cream tones. The chef's cuisine is creative and uninhibited, combining land lettuce and sea lettuce with citrus fruit, for example. With an accomplished dish of matured pollock, wild garlic and asparagus, which reveals the meticulous work behind the scenes, he takes things up a notch. Personal and sincere cuisine with excellent local ingredients at its heart.

Au Koning Van Peene

Modern Cuisine

€€

In the centre of an out-of-the-way village in the Flanders region, this place is an unexpected foodie haven: chef Kevin Barata and Lucile Prevost (partners in business and in life) welcome travellers into their inviting restaurant with an interior in which brick and wood predominate. The chef, who knows his stuff, whips up good simple dishes, such as lamb kofta, thyme-lemon hummus, barbecue sauce and kataifi, or farmhouse pork chop, cauliflower, horseradish, asparagus and a reduction of cooking juices. Lunch is excellent value.
