De Normandie
About
De Normandie, situated on the beachfront of Koksijde Bad, Belgium, is a historic riverside restaurant and event venue that marries gourmet cuisine with nautical heritage. Opened in 1936 as a barge‑hotel, the venue has been lovingly restored to preserve its early‑20th‑century charm while offering contemporary dishes crafted from seasonal, local ingredients. Guests enjoy the restaurant’s kitchen menu from 11:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., with indoor seating and a beachside terrace that overlooks the dunes. Beyond daily dining, De Normandie offers three distinct event spaces: a ground‑floor ballroom accommodating up to 200 guests, a second‑floor reception hall for 50, and an upper‑deck terrace with space for 80, all designed to host weddings, corporate functions, baby showers, and commemorative gatherings. The blend of intimate rooms, outdoor ambience, and a storied atmosphere makes the venue a popular choice for special occasions and business events alike.
