Great seafood, portions and selection. Inside and outside seating made for a great meal.

Can't say enough about this casual place, so so good! Staff was also very accommodating to our lack of Dutch and French speaking.

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 really is one of the finest restaurants in town! It is also mentioned in the "Guide Michelin",…read moreso I'm definitely not the only one who knows where to have an exquisite dinner. 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!

This is the first restaurant we visited on our first day in Ostend. My sister in-law treated us…read morehere. So I tried mussels and fries. It was OK. 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.

There's a wait - they do not take reservations - but it's all worth it. We went on a Saturday…read moreevening and the place was bustling. They know their seafood - make sure you order the seared sole & mussels (we got the white wine, but 'Pites' (red curry) was recommended by the staff) My family loved the grilled prawns as well! Lobster is sold market price - get at least a 700g size if you are sharing (good for 2 people) There's an English menu as well although you don't see it on the wall outside. Also there's a beautiful beach right behind - you can take a stroll after dinner (or take turns going there while you wait if you are with a group)

We zijn teleurgesteld in deze lunch voor € 114 met twee personen. Om te beginnen de bediening…read more Arrogantie ten top. De menukaarten werden letterlijk op tafel gesmeten. We werden in een hoek gezet terwijl er in de rijen waar het gezellig was plek genoeg over was. Toen we vroegen of we daar mochten zitten omdat we bij een bedienings punt zaten werd er gesneerd nee! Zelden zulke chagrijnige obers gezien en bij de eerste de beste frietzaak wordt je nog beter geholpen. Bediening 0/10 Het eten; wat een aanfluiting! De kreeftensoep van €19 is zo dun van het water dat je twijfelt tussen tomatensoep en kreeftensoep en dan nog van de Unox zakjes. De twee garnalenkroketten van €19 krijg je op een schoteltje met garnering een stukje Citroën en peterselie. Van borden opmaken heeft de kok nooit gehoord. De zalm van €28 is om te huilen zo klein en ook hier opgemaakte borden vergeet het! Wat slecht! De zeetong van €40 was het toppunt van alles! Wij noemen dat in Nederland schar en sliptong zo klein. Deze zeetong is ondermaats en had op zee oorspronkelijk terug gezet moeten worden om verder te groeien. We complimenten voor de kok, als je zeetong zo droog kan doorbakken dat de staart verbrand is kom je van goede huize. Gort en gort droog was deze zeetong! Niet glazig gebakken maar te lang doorbakken. Nou waren zowel de koks als bediening ook te druk met zelf eten en kauwen achter de balie in de open keuken dus hadden het ook te druk om op te letten op het eten voor de gasten. Als ik een rangschikking moet maken op mijn 60ste van slechtste restaurant tot nu toe ooit gegeten komt de Oesterput op 1 Hou je geld op zak en eet elders waar je wel waar voor je geld gaat krijgen Wij voelen ons opgelicht!

Walking on the Albert I-Promenade is a wonderful thing to do and probably the towns biggest…read moreattraction. And to sit down in one of the restaurants and cafés to watch the world go by is another thing to do. We chose this place here to do so based on good feedback online. It boasts a premium location directly at the promenade with views of the beach. Great to watch the hustle and bustle on the promenade. Staff was really friendly, the wine good and affordable. We chose the 2-course set menu (you can choose between several items though). Had the curry shrimps and the small bouillabaisse for starters. Curry shrimp was surprisingly good, shrimp seemed fresh. The bouillabaisse was fine, not to thrilling and lacking some variety of fish. But for the price of course it was ok. For the main we had the Steak Tartare and the "Moules" (mussels). Steak Tartare was decent and enjoyable. But the moules were quite disappointing. Didn't really have the freshness we got used to in the weeks in France we've spent before coming to Belgium. Maybe we've been spoiled there, but the mussels here didn't hold up at all. Some items were quite good, some a bit disappointing. It was a set-menu, but as such not really cheap too. That's would be ok though, it's got a prime location this place. I'm willing to pay for that. But just to judge the food: I won't come back. For a drink? Probably so.
