Melt Restaurant in Lochristi
At Melt, you can enjoy a relaxed atmosphere where classic flavors and global influences come together. Our restaurant in Lochristi is a culinary oasis where a passion for the ingredients takes center stage.
Classical values with a contemporary twist
Twenty years ago, Jan and Ann embarked on an adventure that resulted in Melt. What began as a drive to create and share led to a unique style of their own with one goal: serving tasteful moments that stick.
Tasty Tuesdays
On Tuesday evenings, we do things a little differently. We believe that fine dining should be accessible to everyone. On Tuesdays, we don’t serve a traditional menu, but rather a table full of dishes to share. Experience our cuisine in a more relaxed, surprising way. Perfect for those who love to taste and discover new flavors.
Melt made-to-measure
Something to celebrate? We’ll make it an unforgettable experience. Rent out our charming restaurant for your private event, or simply have our chefs and hospitality team come to your own location. Whether it’s at home or at the office, we’ll bring the flavors and the atmosphere to you, so all you have to do is enjoy yourself.
North Sea Chef
At Melt, you can taste the love for the sea. Chef Jan Audenaert was named Fish Chef of the Year in 2020, an acknowledgment of his craftsmanship and respect for the product.
We are also proud ambassadors of the North Sea Chefs. This means we are committed to sustainability by working with underappreciated fish species and bycatch from our own North Sea. We need to learn to eat what the fishermen catch, rather than just having them catch what we want to eat.
