The story
Goffin is a modern cuisine restaurant in Brugge, at Maalsesteenweg 2 in Sint-Kruis, and holds one Michelin star (2026). Chef Timothy Goffin runs the kitchen on a single menu that changes with the seasons.
Timothy Goffin builds each plate around a deliberate balance of sour, bitter and salty flavours, aiming for combinations that surprise. He works with fresh seasonal produce and uses herbs and spices to add depth. Gault&Millau scored the kitchen 15 points in 2026 for dishes that feel created rather than copied from other restaurants.
The tasting menu runs three, four or five courses. Dishes have included lobster salad with lime and cucumber mousse, halibut with artichoke and sumac glaze, and apricot with argan oil and lemon. The sommelier also makes homemade non-alcoholic juices, which are paired with the courses rather than offered as a substitute.
