Eetkaffee Poseidon - Ostend
Located in the heart of Ostend, Eetkaffee Poseidon has been delighting patrons with its authentic Belgian cuisine for over two decades. It’s a restaurant I always make time for when visiting Ostend, not only for its warm hospitality but also for what I believe are the best shrimp croquettes in Ostend. This family-run gem is a true labor of love—dad is in the kitchen crafting delicious meals, while the mother and kids ensure every guest feels at home in the dining area.
The menu offers a variety of seafood and meat dishes, with highlights including the North Sea bouillabaisse and their award-winning Ostend shrimp croquettes, which claimed the public prize at the 2021 Shrimp Croquette Festival. Their croquettes are perfectly golden, packed with flavor, and a must-try for anyone visiting.
The interior of Poseidon is incredibly cozy, with a touch of nostalgia that makes you feel right at home. Open for lunch and dinner, Poseidon also caters to those seeking a lighter option in the afternoons. Drinks and light dishes, like freshly made pancakes, make it a perfect stop during a leisurely day in Ostend.
You can also enjoy your meal on their terrace, a wonderful spot to soak up the ambiance of the city. Their drink menu is equally impressive, featuring all Trappist varieties, regional beers, and the always-refreshing Jupiler. Tea lovers will appreciate their selection of Kusmi loose teas, perfect for pairing with a sweet treat.
