we had the 5-course set menu and started with two perfect serve gins accompanied by an appetizer with crab and a 'maatje'. Starters were a perfectly seasoned gazpacho with scamorza and bouchot mussels Morrocon style. Mains were correct cooked red bream with belgian caviar and matured rubia gallega with smoked béarnaise. They also present a nice cheese chariot besides the dessert with peach. Coffee comes with all kinds of après desserts. Original winelist at very reasonable prices (try the Garagista from Urugay e.g.).

We had a gastronomic diner, including wine, voucher for two. Based on the good reviews we decided to try this restaurant at the Belgian coast. What a discovery and what a treat. From the many small one-bite appetizers presented by pairs over the starter through the main dish and the fine dessert we enjoyed one culinary surprise after the next. With every dish we received a clear appealing description of what to expect. Additionally we were presented excellent wines in perfect harmony with each dish and the very friendly sommelier talked us through each wine (which was almost a trip around the world on its own). Wonderfull experience in a nice setting. Worth mentioning are also the freshly baked selection of loafs (about 8 different tastes to choose from) as well as the wide selection of home-made one-bite sweets that came as a surprize to the coffees we ordered to close off a wonderfull lunch.This restaurant deserves a Michelin star ! We will certainly be back !

Saturday evening 9 o'clock, almost every restaurant already closed and 3 hungry girls searching for food. The only one who let us in was the greek owner of this beautiful little restaurant. And what a luck! We had the most amazing sea food platter and met the most lovely crew on that weekend. Excellent house wine as well! They gave us an excellent advice for a bar to have a drink afterwards :) We will be back! Thank you guys

Visited during quiet lunch time. Service was welcoming and prompt. We've ordered main courses and were treated to a lovely crab/shrimp paste with bread. Great choice of beer and amazing food. We went for a children's crispy chicken, catch of the day -cod with veg and steak with great peppercorn sauce. All tasty and delicious. Highly recommended.

Excellent and friendly service at this small and cosy restaurant. A wide choice of Italian specialities as expected and we both chose pasta dishes. Not that we don't like pizzas, but as one gets that bit older ones appetite deminishes, and the pizzas were huge. A good selection of wines to go with the meal and also deserts, which after the pasta, although tempting were a little too much for the two of us. If you are a fan of Italian cuisine then make sure you try ot Casa Filippo next time you are in Westende.

Under the motto "Break the rules, share the food" this wine- and tapasbar/restaurant is run by very friendly and professional owners & staff. They offer excellent drinks and food choice in a very cosy atmosphere at more than reasonable prices. We'll be back as soon as possible.

I have a soft spot for The Lanteirne as we arranged my mum's funerary lunch there. My parents always loved the restaurant and the kind owners. My husband took me back after many years and I was delighted to see that the quality has, if anything, gotten even better. We started with their house cocktail on the deck in the sun where they brought us a divine amuse bouche. We usually go for the set menu, never fails. Great atmosphere, fabulous food, efficient and kind service. Absolutely recommend it.

After a long day made longer by a 2.5 hour delay on the channel tunnel we decided enough was enough while filling up with fuel on the E40 half way to Brussels.....we needed to eat. A very quick look on TripAdvisor led us 5km towards the coast to Brasserie Regina and we are so glad we bothered. Atmosphere, service and food was excellent on a cold and wet evening. The owner was very friendly and helpful and only wish was that we could have stayed much longer. We shall make a point of returning.

the restaurant is convenient located a few steps from the coast-tram from Ostend;but parking is also available nearby;we appreciate the very friendly reception and the attentive service of Heidi and Christine;they always take into account special requirements,but even the low-salt fish dishes were very tasteful, thanks to an excellent seasoning mix,this reveals a high professional skill of the chief cook Patrick, giving always such artful presentations, with creativity and excellent variations;the appropriate wines and champagne, were chosen by the sommelier Gino from the Vinotheek, giving a finishing touch to a fantastic meal in a relax atmosphere;

I'm not as enthousiastic as the other reviewers, but my experience with this restaurant isn't bad either. I thought the atmosphere could have been better, but it was OK. (I admit that we were early too). I ordered a spaghetti, which was actually a linguini, and it was delicious. I payed a correct price for what I got and they were really friendly. When in neighbourhood, I'll return.
