The story

M Bistro Nieuwpoort: Modern French Cooking on the Belgian North Sea Coast

M Bistro, at Sint-Sebastiaanstraat 15 in Nieuwpoort, is a modern French restaurant run by Mattias and Sofie Maertens-Billiet. Gault&Millau gave it 14 points in 2026.

Cooking with the North Sea

Mattias Maertens cooks in an open kitchen, and his regional dishes focus on fish from the North Sea. A carpaccio of sea bass comes with cucumber rolls, ponzu and cream of Meyer lemon. Butter from the fat polders and herbs from the restaurant's own garden show up on the plates too.

Menus at the table

Guests choose from the M menu, a weekly market menu built around a short tasting, or the à la carte list. The Michelin Guide lists M Bistro as Recommended for 2026. Groups of seven to twelve can book the private dining room in the directors' house.
