De Zuidkant is emblematic of Damme, which is a beacon for foodies exploring Eastern Belgium and its coastline. From the romantic interior and warm open fire to the charming lady of the house who sees you to your table and the smiling chef who greets you from his open kitchen, it is the quintessence of warm Flemish hospitality. Welcome to the HQ of Patrick and Cora. The chef’s expertise and know-how can be tasted from the first bite of each perfectly balanced, delicate dish. Examples include perfectly cooked young pigeon, flanked by a powerful gravy and a Mediterranean note thanks to subtly sweet carrots and a scattering of ras-el-hanout spices. Chef Patrick has no qualms about adding an unorthodox spin to his cooking, which is nonetheless founded on consummate culinary technique. In the same vein, Cora’s passion for wine can be felt in her presentation of the enticing wine list. This couple is clearly dedicated body and soul to their profession, making De Zuidkant a must for any self-respecting foodie!
