This was our second visit to Sel Gris and we could not remember why we waited so long to go back. We now recall why it is not a favourite. To put my review in perspective, the place was almost full on a Tuesday lunch time so lots of people obviously love it. We had the 4 course lunch menu... More

again and again great surprises at each visit to this fabulous restaurant - well located with sea view - sober and super minimal interior with good design in the whole restaurant and throughout tiny details - professional attentive service - a lot of research in the presentation, colors, textures - but most of all the cooking and the mixing of...

A second visit confirmed our first impression. A restaurant where fine food is matched with a sense of fun. The lunch we had was complimented by perfect service but the tar was superb food. We had the set lunch menu and at 35 euros for a gourmet, Michelin starred meal was a bargain. Wondrous delectable amuse bouches wittily served followed... More

Excellent service. Culinair the top. Your taste buds will grow by the second, but so is the price ! Although we really enjoyed the food, somehow we were a bit disappointed by the bill.

It was about 2 years ago i visited this restaurant. I always had a good experience at Sel Gris, but as i visited the restaurant now with a 'Groupon' voucher, i had mixed feelings as friends visited the restaurant with the same voucher and there reaction was unpleasant. We were welcomed very professional and friendly. We were offered a great... More

A pleasant discovery! We already tried the JardinTropical and the Bartholomeus in the Knokke-Heist region, but this Sel Gris beats them both. This is due in the first place to the excellent cuisine skills of the Chef, who plays around with flavour contrasts in a wonderful way. Starting from the (many) appetizer "amuses-gueule", that explode in your mouth, till the... More

We organised a surprise dinner at Sel Gris for a special family occasion. Since this was a special occasion, everything had to be perfect and we had a number of special requests that were all kindly accommodated by the maître d'hôtel. The chef welcomed us and personally explained some modifications to the menu for two persons with special dietary requests,... More

Went there expecting fresh, modern, inspiring cuisine. What we got: bland food, lacking acidity, depth and inspiration. Staff announcing in over theatrical way what's on your plate. Cheeses for dessert very common, even boring - i'd expect a modern chef to look in his vincinity for artisans creating the best. Accompanying wines nice but not at all surprising or even... More
