The story
Nils is a modern cuisine restaurant at Koninklijke Baan 62 in Koksijde, on the Belgian coast. Gault&Millau awarded it 14 points in 2026.
Chef Nils Van Dievoet builds his menus around what the seasons offer at their best. He runs the kitchen with hostess Sofie Demuynck, and the two have led the restaurant together since 2017. Michelin lists Nils as Recommended for 2026.
The restaurant occupies the ground floor of the boutique Hotel Carnac. Before 2017, Sofie's parents, Dirk and Friedl, ran Carnac and its restaurant for thirty years. The space was renamed NILS when the couple took over, and the hotel's website still refers to the bistro as Bistro Nils. Lunch and dinner are served, with outdoor seating and catering available.
