Haut Bonheur de la Table

★ Michelin€€Modern Cuisine

Poised between Steenvoorde and Saint-Omer in the heart of Flanders, Cassel is a darling of a brick-built village. A small village for a tiny restaurant. Housed in a beautiful 18C abode with space for just 20 diners, it is run by owners who are truly passionate about fine cuisine. Chef Eugène Hobraiche meticulously crafts contemporary cuisine that goes hand in hand with seasonal produce, using local fruit and vegetables, as well as fish from Dunkirk's market: salmon confit with Sichuan pepper, textures of cabbage and shiitake dashi; roasted pollack, mustard and multi-coloured carrot gnocchi.

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.
