Story

What began in De Panne with Mes Amis has grown into something more. Since day one, our mission has been simple: creating a place where honest, refined cuisine meets warmth, friendship and a modern sense of hospitality. Mes Amis quickly became a home for guests who appreciate authentic flavours, a relaxed atmosphere and the subtle elegance of the French culinary tradition.

In 2026, we proudly open the next chapter of that story in Koksijde: LOVA.

LOVA is not just a second restaurant. It is a new expression of the values that shaped Mes Amis. A place built on the same foundations of quality, craftsmanship and genuine service, yet with its own identity, its own rhythm and its own soul.

Inspired by the coast, the seasons and the purity of local ingredients, LOVA embraces a fresh and contemporary approach to dining. Here, technique and creativity meet simplicity and comfort. Every dish is crafted with care, designed to highlight the beauty of each ingredient and to reflect our deep respect for the art of cooking.

But above all, LOVA is about people. It is about offering a space where guests feel welcome from the moment they walk in, where every detail is considered, and where moments around the table become lasting memories.

From Mes Amis in De Panne to LOVA in Koksijde

the story continues, shaped by passion, guided by experience, and always inspired by the pleasure of sharing good food with good company.

Welcome to LOVA.

A new beginning. The same heart.
