  1. Côté Préféré

    Creative French

    North Sea crab dressed as rémoulade with Ostend seaweed, samphire, and a briny bisque that tastes like the tide came in on purpose: that's the move at this creative French restaurant in the Flemish countryside. The chef leans hard into western Flanders, sourcing from the polders and the sea with the conviction of someone who grew up eating both. The room is bright and contemporary, with a garden terrace out back and a warm front-of-house to match.
