Bistro Mathilda - Oostende

This place was highly recommended to us by the owner of the AirBnB that we are staying. A bit hard to book coz we had to find another day and we finally got one which is the earliest shift for dinner time. Place was not too crowded as covid 19 restrictions were observed. When it comes to the staff, it was just fine, can be improved comparing to other michelin restaurants I have been to. I liked how they dressed, not to formal but clean and presentable. The food was also OK. Présentation was good, taste was more than average, wine was good. I can still recommend this place to people who want to go beyond the usual mussels by the bayside but if I have to find a great restaurant for another dinner in Ostend, maybe I should try others first before going back.

Had one of the better meals here some years ago and quality has gone WAY DOWN. The little shrimp croquettes and the very small soles with deepfried french fries were completely overpriced with little flavor. I left disappointed and won't go back. Totally overrated for just a bistro.

Delicious food. Nicely presented. Would highly recommend. One of the better restaurants in Ostend.

Just amazing food. We had the waltzing Mathilda. It was amazing and our waiter gave great wine advice. If you want the Michelin experience go try this awesome food.

One of the finer restaurants of Oostende. They use quality products in their dishes for a competitive price. Service is excellent and the bosses are always in their restaurant, helping where they can. The steak tartaar is one of the dishes which is prepared at your table (by one of the bosses) and is a must. Defenitly recommend this restaurant and their mentioning in the gault-millau makes this place a top visit!
