The story
In the coastal town of De Haan, Markt XI presents a refined take on modern cuisine. The restaurant, located on Driftweg, has earned a Michelin Recommended distinction, a nod to its consistent quality and thoughtful approach to cooking.
While the restaurant keeps its story close, the details speak for themselves. On Saturday evenings, the kitchen serves exclusively a six-course menu—a sign of a chef who prefers to guide the meal with intention rather than a la carte options. During Flemish school holidays, the restaurant also opens on Thursday evenings, offering more opportunities to experience the seasonal cooking.
The atmosphere balances comfort with precision. With air conditioning for warmer days and outdoor seating when the weather cooperates, the space adapts to the season. Vegetarian options are available, reflecting a kitchen that respects dietary preferences without compromising on complexity.
Markt XI’s modern cuisine is grounded in technique and local ingredients, though the specific dishes change with the seasons. The Michelin recognition places it among a select group of restaurants in the region that deliver a consistent, memorable dining experience. Whether you choose the full tasting menu on a Saturday or a lighter visit during the week, the focus remains on clear flavors and careful execution.
For those exploring the Belgian coast, Markt XI offers a destination where modern cooking meets seaside ease.
