De Zuidkant

"De Zuidkant is emblematic of Damme, which is a beacon for foodies exploring Eastern Belgium and its coastline. From the romantic interior and warm open fire to the charming lady of the house who sees you to your table and the smiling chef who greets you from his open kitchen, it is the quintessence of warm Flemish hospitality. Welcome to the HQ of Patrick and Cora. The chef’s expertise and know-how can be tasted from the first bite of each perfectly balanced, delicate dish. Examples include perfectly cooked young pigeon, flanked by a powerful gravy and a Mediterranean note thanks to subtly sweet carrots and a scattering of ras-el-hanout spices. Chef Patrick has no qualms about adding an unorthodox spin to his cooking, which is nonetheless founded on consummate culinary technique. In the same vein, Cora’s passion for wine can be felt in her presentation of the enticing wine list. This couple is clearly dedicated body and soul to their profession, making De Zuidkant a must for any self-respecting foodie!" - Michelin Inspector

A very cozy and welcoming spot with exceptional service and even better food. Every dish we tried was absolutely delicious.

Absolutely stunning meal, probably one of the best Michelin starred dinners of my life. As you'd expect, each of the dishes were remarkable and impressive (especially the chocolate desert and the pigeon) with perhaps the single exception of the lobster ravilo amuse-bouche which was just "fine". I must also remark on the service, which was excellent. Our main server and acting sommelier (who we also assumed was one of the owners) was stand out excellent. She was extremely knowledgeable while being personable, friendly, and relaxed. She truly made us feel as if we came to a fine meal in a friend's home. The food is worthy of more than just 1 Michelin star, but the service is probably where the reviewers marked it down as it is more informal - however, all 6 of us in our party felt this relaxed style actually enhanced the experience greatly. In summary, go out of your way to visit this beautiful village and this absolutely stunning restaurant.

Nice restaurant, not too big. The staff is great, friendly and attentive. The food with wine pairing was fantastic. I went for the non alcoholic pairing, which was perfect. Something you don’t see that often. A must visit!

Elegant, refined cuisine in a calm and lovely atmosphere. Dishes are always pleasantly surprising, the service too is outstanding. De Zuidkand is like a balm for the soul (and stomach). For me the best restaurant in the region.

A 1 star Michelin restaurant, but this visit definitely was 5 stars - great food, nice presentation, friendly service, reasonable price...

Been here on several occasions, last time in May 2014. This restaurant deserves every point of its Michelin Star. The food is wonderful, the service excellent and friendly and the atmosphere unique. Not cheap but worth every cent if you're seeking a culinary experience.

Outstanding food and service! Easy to get to from Bruges. Very homely feel and made to feel very welcome - not pretentious like other fine dining restaurants. Best restaurant in Bruges area.

Supergood food, very good service and nice experience! They even took in account that I could only eat with one hand (shoulder fracture) and cut the meat in smaller pieces :)

Michelin start restaurant where they want to please you. What a novel idea. We came up to Damme by bike and it was unfortunate that this was not on Yelp. But given the competition had it we went. WOW what a meal. The food was amazing and interesting. Would definitely do the pilgrimage
