The partner's word
De Kruidenmolen is a coastal bistro founded in 1999 by chef Stijn Bauwens and hostess Veerle Quintens to offer welcoming, reasonably priced, top-quality dining. Its credo, "taste above all", shapes refined bistro classics and seasonal suggestions that bridge past and present. Stijn grew up in his parents' restaurant, started cooking at 18 and trained at Le Sanglier des Ardennes, L’Ecailler du Palais Royal and the three‑star De Karmeliet. The venue holds a Bib Gourmand in the Michelin Guide and the team was named Gault&Millau Brasserie of the Year.
The interior mixes old and new to create a cosy, approachable bistro atmosphere. A restored wooden post mill stands beside the restaurant and a large summer terrace offers views of the mill and surrounding polders. The decor and setting emphasise a warm, unpretentious dining experience.
The cooking is honest, sincere, generous and unpretentious, prioritising the product and emphasising sustainable North Sea seafood, underappreciated local produce and traditional preparations elevated by the chef's experience.
The kitchen is led by chef Stijn Bauwens.
Specialties include the award‑winning shrimp croquette, homemade wild boar (everzwijn) sausage, pâté deluxe with vinaigrette and nut bread, roasted marrow bone with toast and seasonal North Sea fish.
