About
Perched on the harbour at Kaai 5 in Breskens, Spetters is one of Zeeland's most decorated dining destinations. Chef Laurent Smallegange earned the title of Jonge Chef van het Jaar (Young Chef of the Year) in 2015 and has since built a kitchen recognised with one Michelin star and a Gault&Millau score of 17/20 — the latter awarding the restaurant four toques.
Smallegange's approach is rooted in market cuisine: produce-driven, seasonally attuned, and marked by a deft balance of lightness and depth. Seafood from the Zeeland coast frequently meets earthy, contrasting elements on the plate, resulting in dishes that are both personal and technically accomplished. The kitchen has steadily evolved over the years, gaining in refinement while retaining its distinctive character.
The welcome at Spetters is warm and unhurried — professional without being formal, exactly in keeping with its harbour setting. Outdoor seating lets guests take in the waterfront, and a Google rating of 4.7 across 343 reviews reflects the enthusiasm of diners from near and far. The restaurant also features in the Lekker Top 500 of 2026.
A Michelin-starred harbour table in Zeeland — don't leave it to chance, reserve at Spetters today.
