Regional specialities: the taste of Wenduine
Wenduine is small, but it lies between sea and polder, and it's exactly that combination that yields a few fine local specialities you can taste to your heart's content here.
- Coffee from the village itself: in Wenduine, Koffie Kàn roasts artisanal organic coffee that is even recognised as a 100% West Flemish regional product, a delicious local way to round off a meal or ideal to take home.
- From sea and polder: alongside the fresh North Sea fish and grey shrimp, the surrounding Oudlandpolder and Uitkerkse Polder yield a wealth of farm produce, from farmhouse cheese and yoghurt to farm ice cream and jam, straight from the farmer.
- Something sweet on the promenade: a day in Wenduine isn't complete without a classic from the seafront, from a fresh waffle with cream to an artisanal ice cream, perfect to enjoy as you stroll along the beach.
- Out and about in the region: hop on your bike and discover the regional producers of the polder around De Haan, where farm shops and farmsteads share their own story and flavours with you.
