About us
Els, graduated as a master of arts in painting, is fascinated by the work of artist Jean Brusselmans. As a result, the interior design of the bistro beautifully reflects the unique atmosphere of his paintings. The elegantly renovated nineteenth-century building where the restaurant is housed breathes dedication, taste and a lively ambiance.
Get comfortable and enjoy the refined, farm-fresh cuisine of chef Els Vanbiervliet. Maître Jeremy Levecke, partner in crime since 2016, is responsible for the overall dining experience. As a team, Els and Jeremy very quickly became a permanent fixture for those who appreciate art, culture and authentic cuisine.
Every day Belle de Jour offers a varied seasonal menu inspired by the moment, apart from some classics with a twist.
They have a special eye for à la minute preparations with fresh produce, brought in from the North Sea and Rungis International Market, local organic vegetables and top notch all natural beef.
Try the sea menu now that you are in Oostende or order à la carte and leaf through the extensive wine list. But most importantly: make yourself at home.
