  • 1. D'Oude Schuur

    $$$$

    The reputation of D'Oude Schuur often sees Ghentians make a weekend of their visit just to indulge here. As its name (The Old Barn) suggests, it was once part of a farm, though there’s little rustic about its neat, spare interior. The menu does make the most of the country setting, however, dishing up partridge and pheasant alongside the fussier asides of French cooking. Much of the restaurant's reputation lies in its well-stocked cellar, for which the selection of Burgundy wines is especially celebrated.

    Baarle-Frankrijkstraat 1, Sint-Martins-Latem, Flanders, 9830, Belgium
    09-282–3365

    Known For

    • A fantastic wine cellar of French classics
    • Its country setting, out in the leafy suburbs of the village
    • Some accomplished cooking

    Rate Includes: Closed Wed. and Thurs., Reservations essential
  • 2. 'T Oud Sashuis

    $

    An enticing café-bar with a long history and, many say, the best setting on the Leie. It lies next to the old sas (a drawbridge over the lock), and this was where the bridge controller once lived. The café even contains a small museum of maritime paintings and relics of a time when these waters were among the busiest in Belgium. Now it's just a great spot to rest up when strolling the riverbank between Ooidonk and Deinze. Try the pate, which has been flavored with the house Schobiak beer.    

    Hellestraat 20, Deinze, Flanders, 9800, Belgium
    0476-810--114

    Known For

    • A welcome rest stop while walking the Leie
    • House-brewed beers
    • A blissful setting by the water's edge
  • 3. Brasserie Vinois

    $$$

    Hidden away among the museum streets of Deurle, this brasserie is best known for its "grandma cooking." Expect veal kidneys lashed with sharp Ghentish Tierenteyn mustard, a hearty stoofvlees of stewed pork cheeks with a side of rough-cut apple sauce, and beef from the Basque Country. 

    Philippe de Denterghemlaan 31, Deurle, Flanders, 9831, Belgium
    09-282–7018

    Known For

    • Its quiet location
    • An interesting sharing-plates menu
    • A covered terrace that escapes the rather echoey interior

  • 4. D'Ouwe Hoeve

    $$$

    An old favorite among locals. Its village-center location, spilling onto the cobbles beneath the church, sets a convivial scene. Inside, the "The Old Farm," as it's known, is nothing of the sort; it was originally built some 300 years ago as a rectory, then repurposed as a school before settling as the town inn. Opt for either a sharing menu (all oysters, chicken wings, and mussels) or the usual brasserie favorites, with big steaks, beery stews, and the addition of the lesser-seen "lobster Belle Vue" (a more costly take on a prawn cocktail) catching the eye.

    Dorpsstraat 48, Deurle, Flanders, 9831, Belgium
    09-282--3252

    Known For

    • Charming village location
    • The terrace makes for a pleasant escape in warm weather
    • A good standard of cooking
  • 5. Deboeveries

    $$$$

    North Sea sole is the specialty here, fried and served with frites or grilled with a side of dijonnaise. It might not sound like the most sophisticated of dishes, but it is cherished among locals. The rest of the menu veers towards fine steaks, game, and the more rustic cuts often found in fine French cooking, including veal kidneys and crispy sweetbreads with wild mushrooms. The setting is charming, whittled into an old farmstead, and the garden makes for a pleasant retreat during the warmer weather. 

    Lijnstraat 2, Flanders, 9831, Belgium
    09-282–3391

    Known For

    • A "luxury" afternoon menu that changes with the seasons
    • Great service
    • The quality of its sole

  • 6. Grand Café Het Koetshuis Ooidonk

    $$$

    The setting is everything here. The beautiful terrace, on the doorstep of Ooidonk Castle, makes for a delightful retreat for the walkers, cyclists, and day-trippers that make up the clientele. Its menu is a solid mix of brasserie standards with a few twists, including an Ostend-style fish stew, truffle-flavored croque monsieur, and a game ragout. Be warned though: it stops serving dinner at 6:30 pm, so it's one for early birds. 

    Ooidonkdreef 28, Deinze, Flanders, 9800, Belgium
    09-282–7313

    Known For

    • There are plenty of walking trails nearby to work off the food
    • It's a great spot for when you're visiting the castle
    • Brasserie-style comfort food in a countryside setting

    Rate Includes: Closed Wed. and Thurs.
  • 7. L’Homard Bizarre

    $$$$

    As its name (The Weird Lobster) suggests, lobster is the specialty here, prepared every which way on special menus that recur on Thursday and Sunday. Otherwise, go for the more local fare. The game is especially good, with dishes such as saddle of hare or pheasant embracing its surroundings but giving dishes an elegant twist. 

    Kortrijksesteenweg 259, Sint-Martins-Latem, Flanders, 9830, Belgium
    09-281--2922

    Known For

    • Knowing its way around a lobster
    • Country cooking elevated to fine dining
    • A pretty garden terrace at the back

    Rate Includes: Closed Mon.–Wed.
