• Sel Gris★ Michelin 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 77m
• Bartholomeus★★ Michelin Chef Bart Desmidt, his right-hand man Philip and gracious Sandra invite you to sample a banquet of flavour in Bartholomeus, a swanky restaurant with Japanese overtones. It is a treat to watch the cheerful chefs seamlessly and humorously working together in the open kitchen. The 18 seats around the counter are reserved for connoisseurs of high-flying cuisine. The single set menu rolls out several courses which reveal the chefs’ passion for fish and seafood, while Sandra can be relied upon for judicious wine-food pairings, drawn from a splendid cellar. The cast of exceptional ingredients stars t958m
• Cuines 33★★ Michelin A visit to Cuines 33 is a genuine experience. You are first invited to take a seat in the comfortable sitting room, whose peaceful sand-coloured zen interior unveils a tasteful tribute to Japanese minimalism. Edwin Menue’s passion for ceramics (which he himself also crafts) and silverware adds a distinctive personal dimension to the portrait. Right from the first bite, you will taste the chef’s creativity tinted with cosmopolitan accents and his determination to allow the ingredient to shout its name.The chef, backed by Fleur in the front of house, then invites you to step into the dining room2.2km
• Boo Raan★ Michelin (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. The chef’s grandmother taught her all about spices from how to subtly balance sweet-sour flavours to how to enhance the main ingredient. Her pad thai kai is a festival of bouncy noodles, spicy wok beef i2.3km
• Caillou Caillou is a hip, modern restaurant, strewn with passing nods to ‘pebbles’ (its namesake). The kitchen team prepares the food on a central table that sets the scene for their culinary show. 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 establishm525m
• Bristol 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!839m
• La Rigue 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. 1.6km
• Esmeralda 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.1.7km
• Tablàvins This wine-decked, book-lined eatery sports a trendy colour scheme that reeks of the Flemish flair for interior decorating. The wine-food pairing suggestions are equally inspired. The food in the zeitgeist sports a subtle blend of tradition and exoticism: you may taste a generous saddle of rabbit or a sole sprinkled in Asian flavours. A deep-rooted respect for heritage paired with a streak of daring.1.9km
• 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… Unsurprisi2.0km
