This is by far our favourite restaurant in Knokke and surroundings. The house and mill are truly beautiful as well as the very tasteful decorations. The staff is very busy but always friendly. We always eat the contrefilet or the Entrecote. The formula of chasing your own side dishes and sauces is really nice and everything is home made and very fresh and tasty. You can have an aperitif or a drink in the café right next to the main house, which is a cause little country house. We'll go back again and again.

During a sunny weekend early July 18 had one evening dinner and next day lunch on the terrace of Brasserie Couteau. We had at both occasions a very nice experience. Outdoor seating was great. Service was good (experienced waiters). Food was good and our wine choice was good too. Surely good for a repeat visit when again in Knokke Heist.

I have tried to book a table for my girlfriend's birthday beginning of September the first time in late July 2017 because I have read that the 'Alexandra' might be something special. Unfortunately nobody answered to my email-inquiry so I tried again using the contact form at the website two weeks later. Again nothing happened, not even an automatic response. I decided to make a call two times afterwards but no one answered the phone. So we just went there on the day for which I tried to book the table and when we arrived a service staff member asked us for our reservation. Good girl, I would really like to show the reservation, but when nobody responds to any kind of inquiry, how can I do??? In the end the restaurant owner came by and also asked for what the problem is, and when I told him, he just said 'oh, when it is busy here sometimes, I cannot answer the phone'. Really??? Is this the kind of service a Michelin rated restaurant offers? No response, no callback - not even an apology or an alternate way of giving us the possibility to stay for dinner at that night. I have never before written a recommendation here at TripAdvisor, but this bad behavior was worth it taking ten minutes of my time to place it here. Thank you Alexandra, for more or less nothing. Btw.: We went to Saskia's restaurant afterwards and had a great dinner there! Thumbs up for this.

Had heard about the place but thought it would be too fancy. Absolutely not. A place to go and go again. Absolutely fantastic food! On top of that the best quality/price ratio possible in and around Knokke. Even the wine can be acceptably priced - if you choose smartly. A real must for all who passes or stays and stays again in Knokke. Do not hesitate!

Giving this restaurant an overall rating is a conundrum. Within the category of a brasserie it serves excellent food at an excellent price. No pomp and circumstance, no artistic presentation, no pizzaz - just delicious, well-prepared food. I had the rib-eye steak with the poivre sauce, frites and a fresh garden salad. All the servings were generous, the steak was perfectly cooked to order, the frites were classic Belgium frites served with mayo and the salad was a lovely mix of garden greens with a light dressing. The only minor shortcoming was the poivre sauce which, although very flavorful, was a bit too thin for my personal preference. This restaurant will please you whether you are age 8 or 80!

Nice atmosphere, welcoming service. Enough space between tables. Nicely balanced menu with great flavours. Good seasoning. Adapted wines well paired. Only negative; we asked wine pairing and did not take aperitif as i needed to drive still, but they did not bring any wine until first dish.... in other Michelin star restaurants they then served the 1st glass with the amuses.

What can one say more than simply ...heaven ... What I particularly love about this kitchen is the simplicity and yet very great flavors that are present in your dishes. Simple and tasteful ingredients revisited by a great chef, with no fuss about it (unlike some others). Either menu you choose it'll always be a culinary feast. Bart Desmidt is also a chef who defends the quality of local products and certainly Northseafish. Add to that an almost perfect and impeccable service by the lady of the house, view on the sea, pleasant atmosphere, reasonable prices for a two stars Michelin restaurant, and you have the reasons why this is my favourite star ranked restaurant in Belgium.

I was here with a group and the service was brilliant as was the food. Fresh flavoursome and varied menu. Staff very attentive and the ambience was good. It was not expensive but it was a classy menu......The portions are not huge but were enough for us but may not suit a teenager.....loved it.

Small and trendy restaurant in the center of the city. Very light and cosy interiour with open kitchen. Chef Thierry serves a traditional but light French cuisine with Asian influences. Friendly and attentive service by his wife Véronique

Nice restaurant but small, friendly staff. The food is very tasteful, we took the menu and this was excellent. Only downpoint which in the end spoiled the meal was the waiting time for the dessert, this took between 45 min. and an hour, i was already planning to leave without dessert.
