5 Voor Twaalf - De Panne

According to popular belief, after multiple visits to this restaurant, the harsh demeanor of the staff became apparent. They are no longer present, and we do not appreciate uninvited photography. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a large dog roaming between customers and the kitchen. Perhaps the restaurant is short-staffed.

I have visited this charming restaurant located on the corner of King's Street multiple times and each time I have been impressed by the delicious food prepared by Chef Frank and the friendly service provided by hostess Sylvia. Everything is fresh and the kitchen is top-notch. The Cote à l'os and fish dishes are exceptional. They use the freshest seafood possible. The restaurant can accommodate 35 people and has a lovely terrace on the street as well as a cozy garden. I highly recommend making a reservation on weekends.

According to popular opinion, it's too good to be true. After dining at this restaurant multiple times and experiencing excellent service, our last visit left a bad taste in our mouths. The usual friendly atmosphere was missing, we felt unwelcome taking photos, we were bombarded upon arrival, a large dog wandered into the dining area, and we were charged $24 for two small dishes. Perhaps those who enjoy a simple and peaceful dining experience would prefer a different establishment with more attentive service and a relaxing ambiance.

The proverb says that after several times, this restaurant has been visited for the extensive parts, the cruelty character of the executioner came. We don't see us there anymore, we don't like to take pictures uninvited, overwhelmed at arrival, a giant dog that comes into the room between customers of the kitchen for two tingles of the east, maybe not a lot of people like you.

For multiple times, the culinary high-rises of head frank paacocks, and the kind service by hostess sylvia, in this warm, cozy restaurant on the corner of the king's panel. Everything fresh, cracking kitchen, considering service, nor the house's meal bag. Cote à l'os and fishing pans are sublime. To use a fresh giant sea food possible. Reserving the weekends, the capacity of people. Terrace on the street, but also in the cozy garden!
