The story
Eaust is a Belgian restaurant at Vuurtorendok-Zuid 29 in Ostend, where Gault&Millau gave it 12.5 points in 2026. It sits on the ground floor of the Trinity building on the eastern waterfront, in the Lighthouse district. Michelin lists it as Recommended for 2026.
Chef Bram Coenen and hostess Alicia spent about 22 years running Plassendale before opening Eaust on the eastern bank. The kitchen works with what the season and the market provide: North Sea fish, shellfish, carefully chosen meat and vegetables. The approach is direct, with respect for the ingredient.
The menu leans toward the coast. Diners find a fish soup with North Sea fish, mussels and cockles, gravad lax with guacamole, and oven-baked prawns with honey tomatoes and herb butter. Mains include golden-fried sole with fresh fries and a rib-eye Holstein. Desserts stay classic, with crème brûlée made with Madagascan vanilla.
