• Le Julien★ Michelin 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 s8.7km
• De Jonkman★★ Michelin 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 No15.1km

Right from the unusual appetisers, he takes you on a personal voyage of discovery, reacquainting you with family favourites or introducing you to creative, unexpected flavours.

• Sans Cravate★ Michelin As the name suggests (Without a tie), this eatery is casual in vibe. The snug interior, done up in pastel shades, is bathed in natural light. Despite a lineup of familiar flavours, Sans cravate knows how to surprise the diner. The concise à la carte menu, together with a weekday menu and a several course menu at the weekend, bear witness to the attention lavished on exceptional ingredients by chef Henk Van Oudenhouve. He might mingle textures, such as langoustine and artichoke, with a punchy bisque made out of shellfish heads, and cooks the mullet on a spit in a delicious Mediterranean dish fe17.8km
• De Zuidkant★ Michelin Damme is a landmark for gourmets exploring eastern Belgium’s seaboard. Rare are those who do not succumb to the charms of this picturesque little town, of which De Zuidkant is one of the culinary gems. From the romantic interior and warm open fire (although the terrace is exquisite come summertime) to your charming hostess and the smiling chef who greets you from his open kitchen, it is the quintessence of warm Flemish hospitality. Welcome to the HQ of Patrick and Cora. The veteran chef’s expertise and know-how can be tasted right from the first bite of each perfectly balanced, delicate dish. 17.9km
• Zet'Joe by Geert Van Hecke★ Michelin Geert Van Hecke, who boasted three Michelin stars for twenty years at the Karmeliet, is definitely worthy of the title “Godfather of Belgian gastronomy”. Zet’Joe is more casual and a little bit like walking into the chef’s home. A warm interior and an impressive art collection instantly set the scene. Mireille, his delightful partner in the dining room, wields the cheese trolley with impressive dexterity. Van Hecke harnesses his consummate knowhow and sensitivity to enhancing first-rate ingredients. A silky last-minute béarnaise sauce, made with carrot and orange jus, coaxes out the full flavo18.0km
• Den Duyventooren 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. Searingly5.4km
• 't Vijfde Seizoen 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.6.0km
• LiJo Chef Jochen Provoost and your hostess, Lien, have superbly refurbished this mansion behind Saint Barbara’s Church in a crisp modern vein. The open kitchen cannot fail but catch the eye with its huge roasting spit and gleaming copper pans. Top-drawer produce, such as Spitsbroek asparagus, is crafted with textbook attention to detail. The chef might prepare a piece of Belgian beef with a creamy Archiduc sauce, green beans, pickled veggies, a gherkin mousse and a pickle potato. This dish is emblematic of the chef’s generous personality and his unstuffy version of fine dining goes down a treat wit8.1km
• d'Afspanning 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.8.7km
