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.

De Jonkman

Restaurant★★ Michelin€€€€5.0 km

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 No

Sans Cravate

Restaurant★ Michelin€€€€6.8 km

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 fe

Zet'Joe by Geert Van Hecke

Restaurant★ Michelin€€€€7.4 km

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 flavo
