Brut De Mer

Loved this place! It’s super cute and cozy inside. Food was all delicious and fresh. We had some delicious clams in white wine and butter, steak tartare, lobster roll and white wine. All recommended to be delicious! +++++

Have you already met The Oyster Man? This tall boyish man will charm you with his enthusiasm and knowledge. I told him I like my oysters fleshy and he gave me the right stuff: huge, ‘fat’ Gillardeau oysters with a rich taste. The sensation of something that pure is unbeatable, especially if you drink a glass of chilled Viognier with it. If you want to be pampered too, just go to Brut de Mer, a new intimate seafood bar/​restaurant close to a street where seductive clothes shops prevail: the Gerard Doustraat. The menu is concise but attractive. Home-​made shrimp croquettes and calamares a la plancha are on the list together with a damn good lobster roll. Picture this: toasted slightly sweet French bread (brioche), some home-​made lemon mayonnaise, thin cabbage slices and chunks of juicy lobster straight from the province of Zeeland (Oosterschelde). Of course this roll is served with a fork and a knife — hello, this is a decent place. But it’s much easier and nicer to turn the roll into a decadent ‘burger bun’ and to eat it without cutlery. Indulge in champagne afterwards.
