  1. Sixteen seats around a kitchen counter, a sitting room lined in sand-colored ceramics the chef threw himself, and a single set menu: Cuines 33 in Knokke-Heist runs on its own quiet logic. The chef's cooking pulls cosmopolitan flavors through a very precise filter, with sauces doing serious structural work. Two Michelin stars. Dinner moves between rooms, which sounds theatrical but feels more like being a houseguest who got very lucky.
