About 't Blekkertje
't Blekkertje is a Koksijde venue with a lunch-and-dinner schedule on Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, it is closed on Tuesday and Wednesday. Practical details include: smart casual dress, midday service from 12–2:30 PM, evening service from 6:30–9:30 PM on open days.
Cuisine, prices, chef details, awards, signature dishes, seating, or booking policies are not available. Therefore, consider 't Blekkertje as a practical Koksijde option rather than as a fully defined destination. It may fit plans where timing and Koksijde matter most, but diners looking for a specific culinary style or occasion-level promise should compare carefully before committing.
Better for a flexible Koksijde evening than a destination meal
The main planning advantage is the split service: lunch and dinner are both listed on Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. That makes 't Blekkertje easier to consider for a flexible day in Koksijde than a venue with only one service window. Cuisine, price level, award history, or signature format are not available, so base your choice on the hours and whether the venue fits your schedule.
If the priority is comparison-shopping, keep the check simple. Other names to consider include Nils, De Huifkar, De Kelle, De Kokkel, Sea Horse; you can also compare with other dining in Koksijde. That cross-check helps separate a convenient table from the option that best matches the mood of the night.
Who should choose it, who should cross-shop first
Choose 't Blekkertje when the schedule fits your plan and you are comfortable deciding from limited public detail. Cross-shop first when the occasion depends on a known cuisine, price point, chef, award record, private-dining setup, or specific menu format, because those details are not available for 't Blekkertje. For a simple Koksijde meal, the details are enough to guide timing; for a more deliberate choice, compare it with De Huifkar, Nils, De Kelle, De Kokkel, Sea Horse, or other dining options before deciding.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
’t Blekkertje reads like a compact, unassuming coastal restaurant that leans into Flemish seafood traditions. The place presents itself without pretense: honest technique, local ingredients and a menu rooted in the North Sea’s seasonal bounty. Its name — a diminutive referencing cuttlefish — signals the seafood focus from the outset, and the kitchen’s straightforward approach complements a cozy, intimate dining room on Koksijde’s Zeelaan. The atmosphere favors warmth and familiarity over flourish, appealing to locals and repeat visitors who prefer substance to spectacle.
Best For
This is a neighbourhood spot that suits small groups, families and low-key date nights alike. Located on Zeelaan, it draws weekend visitors from nearby cities, summer families and year‑round residents, making it a reliable choice for both lunch and dinner. The kitchen’s seasonal, sea-proximate sourcing means the menu changes with what’s fresh, so the restaurant works well for people who want a straightforward coastal meal rather than a highly staged tasting experience. It’s a relaxed pick for casual meals and modest celebrations.
Ordering Tips
House specialties point squarely to the sea: try the shrimp croquettes and sole, which align with the venue’s coastal focus, while the rib eye indicates there are solid land options too. Because the write‑up emphasizes proximity to Nieuwpoort and day‑boat catches that reach kitchens within hours, ask the staff what is freshest that day—the best plates here reflect that immediacy. Stick to simple, well‑executed seafood preparations rather than elaborate dishes to get the clearest sense of the kitchen’s strengths.

Restaurant context
How it compares in Koksijde
Choose 't Blekkertje when the priority is an easier, flexible Koksijde meal rather than a tightly defined dining brief. Nils is the clearer splurge among the listed peers because its Modern Cuisine format and €€€ tier set expectations before booking. De Huifkar is the stronger value comparison for diners who want Traditional Cuisine at €€.
De Kelle, Sea Horse, De Kokkel are worth checking when availability or mood decides the booking, but the available signals are thinner. For a special-occasion meal, Nils gives the clearest premium positioning; for a more grounded local dinner, De Huifkar is easier to understand before committing.
The practical verdict: use 't Blekkertje as the adaptable Koksijde option, not the automatic first choice for a planned food trip. If ambiance and culinary direction need to be known in advance, start with Nils or De Huifkar, then come back here if timing and location matter more.
