First came here in 2007. Let's just say I've been chasing the wonderful flavor of their "mosselen…read morefrieten" since then! Extremely generous portions, fresh mussels, very tasty white wine sauce (numerous other variations are offered), and perfectly cooked fries. They also offer lots of other seafood and meat dishes. We tried the vol-au-vent (chicken with cream sauce in puff pastry) and it was also yummy. Was glad to come back after 5 long years...the flavors were just as amazing, with friendly and prompt service to boot. Cash only!

Kombuis was recommended by friends who happily travel from Brussels all the way to Oostende to eat…read moremussels and fries there. You'll find a simple looking, inelegant, restaurant that you would probably just walk past if unaware of its celebrated kitchen. Indoors is equally unimpressive, with the kitchen the first thing you'll notice as you wait to be seated. The food is the real reason why you'll come here - unsophisticated, big portions of food that will satisfy the hungriest of visitors. We had mussels, as you should on a fist visit, and were thoroughly delighted. The fries are not exceptional, but with that amount of mussels you may not even need more than a handful of fries. Open everyday until late, I would definitely recommend Kombuis to anyone who is in Oostende. Mussels, fries and a drink will cost you around 25€.

This is probably one of my favourite restaurants in town. Very good location (fancy lunch getting…read morefrom the train: step right in). Second time I visit this place. What's most important: the dishes are superbe! Maybe a bit expensive, but everything home made: every sauce, the fries, the ice cream, ...... Very fresh seafood, prepared with local ingredients....just divine! Excellent wine list: the Macon Fuissée is definitely worth a try! Next time I go there I will make pictures to top of this review.

The menu changes every month (I've been here 2 times so far.....definitely returning) and offers tantalising suggestions. The 2 times I came, I took oysters (6) for starters: just opened, raw oysters with lemon and pepper.......divine!!!!!! For the main course, the first time I had chicken stuffed with witlof and croquettes, the second time pigeons in a tantalising porto sauce with pomme gratin. The ingredients are fresh from the market, the food is really excellent. Excellent service divine dishes and accompanying wines don't come cheap...around 100€ per person. For this price you get an evening in heaven!

My mother tried pasta and my nephews had fish and salad. Family time was great. Service was excellent. It's a bit pricey. I also expected that they would have a big fish market inside, but they had limited selection. It's a very nice place to visit.
