If you don't mind being a little crowded and hot, the mussels here are pretty amazing. Service was fast and server was great at helping us translate menu options. Little pricey, but you should expect this at such a touristy city.

De Lanteirne

Reviewed By Bram C

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.

Stopped for lunch. We had steak, chicken vol au vent, and fish in white wine. All of which were delicious. The wait staff were attentive and helpful - translating as needed.

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.

We went for family lunch. The service is friendly and efficient. The vibe is nearly glamorous. The food (fish, salad special, children's hamburgers) however was of mediocre quality compared to other places we went to. We would return for drinks and snacks.

When we arrived, the staff was all over the place and it wasn't even that busy.We ordered mussels - because you have to eat them when you're at the coast :) Unfortunately they were not good.. They were undercooked, not very tasteful and the amount was too small. I had to send them back 3 times and finally they were cooked properly. We paid €26 voor the mussels.... terrible.

VLASS - Puur Gastronomie

Reviewed By Frans C

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 !

Othello

Reviewed By DanielleH681

Wanting to take pictures of the magnificent sunset on Ostend’s waterfront, we diverted from our usual route of turning right onto the promenade and turned left instead, towards the sun. We were looking for somewhere to eat and found this charming little restaurant called Othello. We were given some very tasty tapenade and fresh bread as a taster to begin with, as standard to have with our drinks. Then onto the starter. To say that the scallops I had were the most delicious and tender I’ve ever had would be an understatement. They were utterly superb.We then went onto mussels in white wine for me, and beef for my husband. The mussels were divine, and my husband reports that the meat was really tender and tasty.Dessert was Creme Brûlée for him and ice cream for me. Both absolutely delicious. We would highly recommend this restaurant. It would be advisable to book ahead. We had not booked, and they did accommodate us, but it was full. An absolute gem of a find and we would come again. It is pricey, but we don’t mind paying for quality. For drinks and three courses each the bill amounted to about €120.00.The service was good too and the owners very attentive. Given that the position of the restaurant is a little bit away from the main thoroughfare, it was full nevertheless, and worthy of walking just that little but further west to find it. There is a step up from the pavement, but if someone were being pushed in a wheelchair I think the wheelchair could be lifted up the step. One couple had a little dog with them who had its own seat. They allow well behaved dogs into restaurants in Belgium. Not sure if they all do, but I’ve noticed a number of them seem to allow it.
