Description

Summary: A tranquil spot for classic cuisine with a delightful terrace for al fresco dining. Enjoy expertly crafted dishes and sauces that linger on the palate.

Nestled within the charming town of Kortrijk, Messeyne stands as a tranquil culinary haven. As part of an exquisite hotel, this restaurant boasts a serene courtyard where guests can dine comfortably amidst nature when the weather is pleasant. The menu showcases classic cuisine, with a special emphasis on the purity of the main ingredients and accompanying garnishes. Sauces are served separately in small jugs, remaining on the table for guests to enjoy at their leisure, a testament to their subtle flavors and excellent quality. For instance, a gentle mustard seed dressing adds just the right amount of zest to a large Breton artichoke. The artichoke is perfectly cooked and served with an abundance of freshly peeled grey shrimp, chives, and a mimosa of egg. The main course features wild sea bass, expertly seared and juicy, paired with crisp green asparagus, sea blite, and enoki mushrooms, all brought together with a softly defined, buttery langoustine sauce. The quality of the products used and the craftsmanship displayed justify an enhanced reputation. Locals cherish this cozy restaurant and its adjoining garden terrace, where the French cuisine is contemporary, flavorful, and presented with effortless elegance.
