Probably one of the best restaurants on the Blankenberge dyke.

Oct 2024 • couples

Restaurant to recommend. We've been there twice this week. First of all the friendly staff. The first time, we had taken a homemade wind flight with croquettes and a 200 gram steak with homemade pepper sauce while our friend had taken the main course of the day and the fries were delicious. The second time was Saturday and we had 3 menus for 43 euros with shrimp croquettes, wind flight with home fries, chicken curry with rice and our friend of the cod fillet sauce cream with leeks, puree (only small note: the portion of cod should have been a little more hearty) and 3 desserts profiterolles (2 pieces and 2 portions of chantilly). EVERYTHING WAS EXCELLENT.

On the dike in Blankenberge

Aug 2023 • friends

Quite a large restaurant, on the dike. We were given a rather quiet spot on the first floor, which is recommended. Attention is paid to (gluten) diet. Friendly and attentive service, including the boss himself. The prices are somewhat higher than neighboring restaurants and for the most part rightly so because there is nothing to complain about. However, we found the price of the desserts, including the Irish coffee, to be on the high side and we thought that a mayonnaise packaged in a plastic jar, which was also charged at 1 euro, was not really appropriate for this restaurant. This restaurant is rightly in the top 20 in Blankenberge. Given that it was rather noisy and the minor cosmetic flaws, we preferred similar restaurants a little further from the dike.

Good food and good service

Sep 2024 • couples

Found via leaflet in hotel, on the dike with sea view. It was praised for its fresh fish and we can certainly confirm that. The cod is to suck on, prawn prawns with garlic are definitely recommended and the shrimp croquettes are one of the better ones I have already tasted by the sea. The service was quick and very friendly, especially when I wanted an extra shrimp croquette and she arranged this immediately. For me, too, a very big plus: to adapt portions for large and small eaters, not waste. Dessert was delicious and again perfect portion.

Vegetarians welcome

Oct 2023 • family

I never leave reviews on networks but here I am making an exception. The service was ABSOLUTELY impeccable, the food of good quality and above all real attention paid to our vegetarian diet (this is the first time we have seen this outside of vegetarian restaurants - naturally). Go there with your eyes closed!

Tasty

Jan 2025 • family

We were there for a family celebration and the evening went in a friendly atmosphere. The reception was very friendly and the service was very smooth, polite and this both during and after dinner. The food was very tasty, certainly adequate and the shrimp croquette as a starter was perfect. Definitely recommended. Thanks to Katrien and her team it was a very pleasant evening. We will definitely go back there.

Disappointing passage

Aug 2024 • family

Regular at this restaurant during our visits to Blankenberge, we returned this year in August. Regarding the quality of the dishes nothing wrong. The same cannot be said of the department. Endless waiting between dishes, we come to serve the starter when the aperitif has just been served, we forget our son’s meal and after reminder he waits to come. We felt that the profitability aspect takes precedence because we do not hesitate to press people at the end of meals to put the table back to the following... Very amazing attitude when we come there for several years and never disappointed until now

A must-have!

Jul 2023 • friends

Excellent food! We had a menu for 45€. Oysters, a skate wing and crème brûlée. Everything was fresh and homemade!! Fast and efficient service. The servers were competent and very cheerful. A very pleasant owner who gave a lot of advice on dishes. In addition, you will have a magnificent view from the terrace over the sea. There is a heated terrace as well. The restaurant was very clean, very hygienic. I 100% recommend this restaurant!

It's worth repeating!

Sep 2024 • couples

Reserved because it was near our apartment on the seawall and we therefore did not have to walk far after dinner. Also convinced by the many positive reviews and they were right: very friendly staff, varied range of dishes and drinks, pleasant place on the dike overlooking the sea and fine food (cod and mussels). What also appealed to us was the good value for money. A windfall that a lot of dishes were also available in smaller portions, since we are not big eaters and especially in the evening do not want to crawl into bed with a heavy stomach. Only downside were the somewhat noisy neighbors who were disturbing the whole time on the phone while dining. But we will definitely be back here!

Completely satisfied, whether in terms of the quality of the dishes or the service. The staff is very friendly, adapts to the person in front of them in terms of language. The dishes are well presented, fresh, and in sufficient quantity. I noted this address for my next stay in Blankenberge.

A repeat without hesitation

Oct 2023 • family

We greatly appreciated the non-discriminatory welcome, despite the presence of our two four-legged companions and our arrival around 8:30 p.m. on a Friday evening. The meal was beyond our expectations and very good in all its forms. Smiling staff, willingly making the effort to speak French and very good service. Friendly and clean environment An address that we are happy to use and that we highly recommend.

Value for money every time

Oct 2023 • couples

Always a great experience, good food and service with a smile. Everything is right here. The waiter jokes and advises people who come in after us to sit at a table further away from the door, because you can feel the draft from the door that often opens and closes. It's nice that they really try to give people a nice experience here and we feel they always succeed in this 🙂

A friendly restaurant with excellent food and superb support for wheelchair users.

Sep 2023 • family

I cannot recommend this restaurant enough, for its food, staff, atmosphere and welcoming services for wheelchair users. Our waiter, Valerio, could not have been more helpful and friendly. We stumbled upon this little restaurant quite by accident. As an electric wheelchair user, there is little opportunity to just spontaneously 'pop into a restaurant' but this little gem is the exception. The moules and frites were really something special! I've never had quite such a tasty and rich sauce before. But all the food was of good quality and reasonably priced. The restaurant is completely accessible for both manual and electric wheelchairs and the staff were happy to move a table or chair or two to accommodate me more comfortably. And there is a fully accessible toilet!!! Yes, at last, a restaurant at the beach with facilities for all. Thank you so much team Venitien, for making our day at the seaside a perfect one.

What quality service

Feb 2025 • family

What a welcome and service... And besides, I didn't eat there. The service is impeccable I wanted to eat this Saturday night We settled down with my son and placed an order for the aperitif Small plate offered A delight The timing of the order... And this is the drama More mussels on the menu Everything had already been sold I thought I'd take something else and ask the waiter to give us a few minutes. And surprise the waiter returns telling us that he had found a restaurant where he still serves mussels and that our table was reserved... Bravo and thank you You have earned the pleasure of seeing us again

Attractive with a sea view.

Nov 2023 • family

Completely by chance, while passing, I saw Venitien and decided to have lunch here. You enter a soothing, beautiful interior and receive a friendly welcome. Opted for the game suggestions and enjoyed a delicious Zingy cocktail while waiting. The main menu was very tasty. Deliciously fried meat, creamy sauce. In short: discovered by chance but 100% worth repeating. Cozy restaurant, very friendly welcome and service, culinary enjoyment.
