Marina

Marina is a rare and remarkable institution in the Ostend gastronomic landscape, a restaurant that has been serving refined Italian cuisine since 1973 — more than five decades of dedication to la dolce vita on the Belgian coast. Situated at the Hendrik Baelskaai at Ostend’s fishing harbour, the restaurant is recognised by Gault&Millau for the consistent quality and elegance of its cooking, and has built a devoted following over two generations of loyal guests who return year after year for the combination of impeccable Italian hospitality and exceptional cuisine. The stylish interior, the open kitchen visible from the dining room, and a carefully curated wine list that reflects the full depth of Italian viticulture together create a total sensory experience of rare harmony. The kitchen works at the intersection of Italian culinary tradition and the finest coastal produce: tagliolini are served perfectly al dente with a creamy portobello cream, foie gras from Filip Callemeyn’s farm, and black truffle — a combination of indulgent luxury and technical refinement that exemplifies the restaurant’s philosophy. North Sea fish is featured with the same Italian-accented creativity, making Marina a unique bridge between the two great maritime food cultures. Open for lunch and dinner throughout the week. Celebrating over fifty years in Ostend, Marina remains one of the most distinguished and characterful addresses in the city.
