Flavor & coziness at Wapenplein

A taste of Ostend

WHAT OUT CUSTOMERS SAY

“Fabulous bouillabaisse. I had this dish a year ago and my wife thought it looked so delicious that she demanded that we return so that she could try it. We both devoured it tonight. Simply delicious.”

P. Smith

“This place is lovely, well located and the food is so good, I really recommend this place! And the waiters are very kind, thanks for the service !”

Métissor

“What a warm and friendly welcome you receive at Arno's! The first evening we enjoyed a Kirr Royale with tapas on the terrace, and the next day we went for the vol-au-vis for lunch. The food was delicious, and the interior is also beautifully decorated with a beautiful photo of Arno on the beach. Highly recommended!”

Dominique Chirillo

“Went for dinner today without a reservation. Excellent value for money with super-friendly service and a smile and chat from the waiters (students) despite the crowd. Keep up the good work!”
