Allow me to recommend Brasserie Belle Rive, a restaurant in Knokke le Zoute that I mention to our guests with real pleasure. You will find it in Knokke-Heist, along the coast, where the sea is never far from the table.
What I value most are the terrace and the view of the sea. Sitting outside, you have the water in front of you, and the meal becomes only one part of the occasion. If the weather allows, I would ask you to take a table on the terrace. It is the sort of place where one gladly stays a little longer than planned.
I would suggest it above all for lunch. A midday table with the sea in view suits a day at the coast very well, and it gives the day an unhurried centre. Should you prefer the evening, Brasserie Belle Rive also serves dinner, and the terrace and the sea view remain part of the experience.
That is my recommendation for a restaurant in Knokke le Zoute where the sea belongs to the meal, and where I believe you will feel at ease from the first moment.
