10 Classic Belgian Dishes to Try on Your Next Flemish Adventure | Condé Nast Traveler

"For gray shrimp croquettes try Eetkaffee Poseidon in Ostend, where the croquettes are packed with North Sea crevettes grises bound in a béchamel, breadcrumbed and fried so the interior is pleasingly oozing rather than gooey or liquid." - Julia Buckley

The interior looks a little dated but don’t be fooled, this is where you can get some of the best dishes the Belgian coast has to offer. Award winning croquettes with shrimp and a very traditional bouillabaisse. Very recommended!

It’s your run of the mill sunday lunch-restaurant your grand-parents take you. Just came here for some local seafood and was pleasantly surprised. Despite my fiancee and me being in beachwear the staff was lovely to us and the food was shockingly good. The ‘garnaal-kroket’ was incredible. 100€ for a shared starter, two main dishes, water and 2 drinks.

It was hard to reserve a restaurant during Easter. We got a place in Poseidon for six person's. It was funny that we could only choose 4 different menu's per table. But in the end we figured that out. Would recommend!

Last night, we were in search of a place to enjoy a good fish soup. We stepped into Poseidon restaurant and asked to see the menu. They offered both a soup of the day and a bouillabaisse. More importantly, the menu came as a well designed, solid booklet, filled with serious dishes and wines—a clear sign these people know about gastronomy. The service was professional, and we were welcomed with a delightful amuse-bouche: a fresh fish salad. Then came the bouillabaisse, served in a pot, still boiling hot. Boiling hot: already a positive point; I hate soup served luke warm. At first glance, I was relieved—it wasn’t just a tomato soup, as in many other places. Then, the first spoonful. Wow! Poseidon’s realm exploded on the palate. Based on a rich Ostend shrimp broth, with plenty of meat of quality fish, the flavor was absolutely outstanding. We devoured the entire, generously filled pot down to the very last drop. The perfectly chilled Sauvignon Blanc was a flawless pairing. For dessert, we ordered zabaglione. From the kitchen, we could hear the chef whisking—and in just three minutes, it arrived: thick, creamy, and rich. A chef who can whip up the perfect zabaglione in three minutes clearly knows his craft. We finished with a properly made, hot espresso. It’s surprising how many restaurants fail this basic task, but here again, they delivered—confirming our impression that this team truly knows what they’re doing. Looking forward to coming back soon to try the asparagus on the menu! Thank you for a great dinner! Dank voor een heerlijk diner! Merci pour ce délicieux dîner !

Overpriced. Quality is very average. Prices on website are incorrect: I ordered 4 shrimp croquettes for takeaway, which according to the website are €3.50 each. When I picked them up, it turned out they cost €36 because they were heated up. It makes me wonder who would order cold croquettes? Feels like a scam... Reply to owner: “if you want to eat cheap go to your local chip shop”. While in the rest of your answer you give good arguments for the quality of your food (I admit that the croquettes are tasty), it is a pity you had to add this. A reason for me not to come back to your restaurant
