Bar Foubert

Bar Foubert is one of the most anticipated and acclaimed new gastronomic openings in Ostend in recent years, bringing chef Stephen Foubert’s exceptional culinary talent to a new audience after years of cooking for an exclusive private clientele at the prestigious Ostend Yacht Club. Now in his own restaurant on the Christinastraat, recognised by Gault&Millau in its 2026 edition with a first toque, Foubert has created an intimate, personality-driven address where the quality of the produce and the precision of the cooking speak directly and confidently. The restaurant’s centrepiece is a magnificent Molteni rotisserie spit, over which turbot rotates slowly, allowing the noble fish to cook gently and retain all its natural sweetness — a signature preparation that draws on the great classical tradition of French and Belgian gastronomy while reinterpreting it with contemporary refinement. Grilled baby lobster with colourful garnishes and seasonal vegetables reveals the chef’s playful creativity and mastery of live shellfish preparation. Front-of-house partner Anneleen provides attentive, personable service in a warm and relaxed setting that makes every guest feel genuinely welcomed. The restaurant accommodates a small number of covers, ensuring an intimate and focused experience at each service. Open Wednesday through Sunday for both lunch and dinner. A restaurant to watch with great anticipation.
