Vesper
Kortrijk, Belgium
The read// why locals go
Vesper calls itself an eetkroeg, and that word does most of the work: a Kortrijk dining room with the warmth of a neighbourhood pub and a kitchen that takes the cooking seriously. The menu runs on classics given a twist, with dishes carrying names like Shrimply The Best, Popped Salmon and Oh My Goat that tell you nobody here is trying to be solemn about it. Mains land around eighteen euro, so it stays the kind of place you can walk into on a Tuesday rather than save for an occasion. The terrace on Voorstraat fills first in good weather, and the brown cafe Vagant sits right next door for afterwards. Kortrijk food lists name it a local favourite.
