Wonderful decor and location. Irreproachable and friendly service. Nothing is too much for the staff. And importantly the food - many of the dishes are the traditional fare to be found in good restaurants on the coast - is simply outstanding. High quality scores on all counts. Was our second visit and we were pleasantly surprised at how they had maintained their high standards. We will return soon!

Love this place. Highly recommended.First time we went for the lobster menu. They price was very reasonable, especially given the prime location, and it was superb. Great presentation, super friendly service, and excellent taste. Second day we went alacarte. I went for tomate crevettes and for the soles, part of the menu special. All classics, all great. We go again next time I'm in town. Highly recommended. Do make reservations up front, because it's mostly sold out for dinner. We had to go for the lunch slots on both occasions.

Definitely no value for money : we must have caught them on their 'off day', the quality and experience offered was certainly not in relation to the price asked. We had to wait awkwardly long for our first drinks, the sole arrived pretty greasy without its crispy skin, and the fries were of the variety you expect to be served outside of Belgium (we left them for what they were, swimming and sticking together in their little white bowl). I suspect they might have underestimated the high turn up with the sunny weather on a weekday and seriously understaffed, as our lady waiter was not courteous at all and pretty stressed (our drinks were finally delivered to another couple).On top of that, you're seated in an overcrowded, busy terrace, table to table with all your neighbors, one louder than the other, overhearing every conversation....so I suspect they prefer to maximise their capacity instead of their quality at this wonderful beachside location.Too bad.

One of my favorite restaurants in Knokke. Wonderfull cuisine, always positive experience, never disappointed. The menu varies and offers high quality food for everyone and every taste. The fish is so tasteful and the service always friendly and professional but warm.

From taking the diner reservation to collecting payment at the conclusion of the evening, one man does it all. Meeting and greeting, seating, explaining the menu, delivering drinks, taking the order, preparing and serving each course, even presenting the bill are all performed with humility and a warm smile by one man, a highly accomplished chef. No prima donna here - just delicious food and attentive service in an intimate setting.Try to reserve the chef's table for two in the kitchen. The chef is charming and the show is memorable.

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.

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!

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.
