Head Chef Jeffrey Wouters welcomes you to
Ike’s Bistro.

While the Mediterranean region is their main focus, Ike’s creative chefs have a passion for avant-garde fusion strongly inspired by Caribbean ingredients. They compose beautiful dishes with subtle and complex flavors. Perfectly set by the tropical pool, Ike’s Bistro makes for an enchanting experience. Let their chefs surprise you with their wide selection of vegan and vegetarian dishes, or join them on special evenings such as Monday lobster and shrimp night, Thursday paella night, or Saturday eat like a local night, all accompanied by a savvy selection of wines.
