Dark floor tiles and bare brick walls set the scene in this historic edifice of Beernem, albeit elegantly paired with modern fixtures and fittings. Diners can choose between cosy nooks or the spacious glazed extension. The varied menu appeals both to fans of classical fare and to those keen to try out world cuisine. The veteran chef is equally at home with the ubiquitous shrimp fritter as with an Asian take on steak tartare. Honest, wholesome fare.
