This restaurant was the nearest sushi restaurant to Blankenberge would you believe on the birthday weekend trip we made.
This restaurant is located right on the water front with great views of the inlet and the boats...but beware there is no dedicated parking and we had to park quite a way away and walk back.
The service seemed to be hurried and we felt slighty uneasy and rushed ..even though there were other people in the retaurant and it was not late it seemed as if the waitress wanted us all gone for some reason??
When the sushi boat arrived we were pleased with the overall look of it and some effort had gone into the presentation which was a nice touch.
We found all the sushi and ingredients to be of a good quality and fresh and very tasty.
We cant comment on any other food as we did not have any but this retaurant also does wok, noodles ,teppanyaki and side dishes such as edamame and gyoza.
This restaurant also has a delivery service for Oostende and Bredene but it cost between 20 and 35 euros depending on the distance.

This restaurant is really my favorite in Ostend.
You are welcomed by the friendly chief and you can choose your place against the window, or if you are in a group, there is a second place with a long table for everybody.
This restaurant has delicious plates of real Mexican food, pancakes filled with chicken, special plates with mushrooms, melted cheese and meat, a wide choice of plates...and not to forget the great cocktails!
If you ask the chief a coke-light, he brings it to you, saying ' a coke without whiskey for you?'
Everything is well presented.
If you say it is your birthday,the chief gives you a belt with 10 glasses and a free bottle of tequila which you may share with your friends. You also get real Mexican hat to put on. You get a lemon,salt and you can start filling the 10 glasses for you friends...and drink some real tequila...
Then if the atmosphere is really moody, he puts on his micro,and he starts a sort of show. You may sing for your birthday if you want :)
This place is great for groups and also for couples. The restaurant is clean, tidy, nice and atmospheric.
Favorite Dish: Pancakes filled with chicken
or plate with mushrooms & cheese,...

For a perfect example of one of Oostende's sumptuous Continental pattiserie/bakeries Caruso is well worth searching out. The window display of cakes and confectionery will tempt even the most savoury-toothed and once entered the aromas of fresh-baked bread and brewing coffee will have an amnesiac effect on those who have already had breakfast.
Unfortunately I only had time for a quick coffee but was suitably impressed by this place. Staff are friendly and welcoming (even though it was just a coffee) and the general ambience has the refined laid-backness you'd expect from one of its Viennoise contemporaries but none of the stuffiness you can sometimes encounter in Paris.
Not just for sit-down meals though as the bakery seemed popular with the locals for their daily bread and the impressive chocolates on display look ideal for your Belgian souvenirs without being hugely expensive.

Fun little casual restaurant. Specialty is mexican, but there are enough other choices on the menu for people who are not into mexican. Not chic, but cool decorations. Quick service. Reasonable prices. Huge portions. I managed to eat a quarter of my plate :) Usually quite busy, and not that many tables, so best to make a reservation in advance.

Originally this started as a take-away traiteur store, but due to the big succes (best price/quaility) and original Italian recipes the 2 Italian cooks have expanded their place to a restaurant and are planning a terrace also for in summer.
In the restaurant you can see the cooks prepare the pizza's in their authentic oven. Great for a take-away but also if you want to eat quality food with fresh recipes for a fair price.
Favorite Dish: Try the Lasagna Napoli or Vegetarian.
Also the pizza 'speciale' is fine, but the Moussaka is the best, although no Italian stuff.

When you are in Ostend city and the weather is nice, you really need to try an Ice-cream from Maxzim.
Lots of choice, we like the orange,lemon and special tastes.
Price is only €2 for 2 balls (and they are big!) and nice presented in a big horn with spoon.
Don't have a picture, but you'll like it.
Most ice-cream sellers ask €2.20 and the balls are half the size!
Sympathic seller also, so very recommended in general!
