This italian restaurant is a high-quality experience, with excellent food and attentive service. The restaurant is in Antwerp, but worth the trip just for the food!
Lovely dining experience. Love how they celebrate with a sparkler and song! Food was great and the chef came and checked in on how we liked the food.

Superb from start to finish. First class service which was warm and welcoming. Each course was delicious and beautifully presented. Why this place does not have multiple Michelin stars I do not understand. Don’t hesitate this is a gastronomic delight. Thank you I will be back 🙏🏻

Outstanding experience. Worth the drive from Antwerp just to go there and eat. The food is amazing, service is personalised and Ppepe himself is concerned for his guest. I would like to go and experience his informal cafe /Pizzeria too. Sure will be worth it.

This restaurant is a must-go for anyone in the area for great food and top-notch service. The dishes are all beautifully presented, with a variety of tastes and textures to please everyone. The level of detail that goes into preparing each dish is amazing, from the appetizers to the desserts. It's definitely an experience you won't want to miss!
JUST WOW!!! Multiple times I tried this beautiful restaurant multiple times and it always delivers an amazing experience. Davide and team doing a stunning job !!!

I was here for business and coincidentally also stayed at the adjacent hotel. Dishes were nice but what really sets this place apart is the service and level of detail. All of the dishes they served to the group were esthetically pleasing to the eye, from appetizer- main course and dessert. "Thumbs-up"

Decent food but way overpriced for what it is. I love the steak but what you get is not worth the cost. Simple things like water are cheaper in a 2 michelin star restaurant in the neighbourhood, just to show the over reach. Friendly staff.

Nicely decorated place, welcoming staff. The food is high quality and served in a nice original way. For diner you need some time, it's not the fastest place but you get great dishes in return.

The Crystalline is a Michelin starred restaurant in Genk, Belgium with a modern but warm atmosphere. The service is perfect and every wish is fulfilled. The food is excellent and gourmet, with a choice of menus for different dietary requirements.
Great restaurant! The food is exquisite! We ad the lunch menu which adapts to the season of course but it was superb! One person lactose intolerant received an modified dish whenever required without the need of asking all the time. Service is TOP in this restaurant! Will surely return.

Finally went back to our favourite Restaurant. Had to wait 6 month for a table on a Saturday. 😅 Food, wine and service were amazing as always. Went for the 6 course meal and the cheese. Everything was simply amazing. Will for sure be back soon and not wait this long anymore. If you have not yet been there book a table now!

Looking for a location to celebrate good news or just an excellent lunch or dinner? De Kristalijn is the place to be, with classic French dishes with a modern twist paired with great wines and/or non alcoholic drinks. The staff is very friendly and there is parking galore. The restaurant is very accesible and close to the freeway.

Restaurant
De Molen Grill is renowned for serving top-notch meat in the vicinity. Despite the slightly steep prices, the flavorful taste of their meat remains unmatched. While consistency may occasionally fluctuate, their overall quality consistently reaches an "excellent" standard. The venue itself can be quite cramped and at times smoky due to the open grill, but it also exudes a cozy ambiance and is suitable for business meals.
Great food, great service fantastic steak

The high quality Chateaubriand steaks are cooked on a stone grill. Delicious when served with the fresh and home made bearnaise sauce.
Peter Vos — Google review
You go to De Molen if you have a craving for meat and the restaurant definitely delivers! If I could, I would deduct half a point because the filet pur I ordered was not cooked right. I ordered "saignant" (rare), but the piece was "à point" (medium) edging on "bien cuit" (well done). Maybe because the piece of meat was a thinner cut? Still, that shouldn't be an excuse. Anyhow, all other steaks were cooked to perfection, the sauces were excellent, and so were the fries. For dessert, we shared a "dame blanche" between two people, which still was a lot! Good service and nice atmosphere.

Not the cheapest, but not very expensive for what you get. Great food!
ChezVDB — Google review
an absolutely expensive disappointment. Bad bad bad! First of all our reserved table was not ready when we arrived exactly when our booking was, we needed to wait for another table to finish eating and be set for us. This was very unprofessional. More so it then took more than an hour for the waiter to take our meal order! I have never had to wait so long for an order to be taken. When the food finally came my brother was waiting an extra 10 minutes to receive his food. The food itself was not up to the quality i was expecting, no seasoning no taste but a big price tag! Furthermore i do not understand how one can justify charging 39 euros per person for the sharing is caring meal when a steak cost 39 and we share it! Charging 80 euros for a shared plate! What makes this so bitter is that it was my fathers 60th birthday. What a shame we decided to book a table at de molen.
lisa put — Google review
I was positively surprised with the quality (had some less experience before but taught give it another chance). So much conclude this time it is a very good steak restaurant (delicious meat) although the cooking wise could still be improved (typical too far cooked), good service but quite pricey. Due to its success, you are also quite packed together and noisy downstairs, more relaxing upstairs. Tip: Molengras fries

Great food and friendly staff! Perfect for meat lovers! with a small selection of dishes for those that are looking for something else. Meat grilled in an open fire gives this place a very nice atmosphere.
Raf Vs — Google review
By far some of the best meat in the area! It's expensive, even after factoring in how good the meat tastes; quality, although not consistent, never falls short of "excellent"; the venue is cramped and sometimes smokey (from the open grill), but is also cosy and even appropriate for business meals. So it's definitely not perfect overall, but despite of all that I think they still deserve that 5/5: simply because their meat is just that good.

Greek restaurant
De Griekse Frituur - O Geros is a Greek restaurant near C-mine that offers delicious and mouthwatering food. Their lams pita is highly recommended for meat lovers to try. The pita bread is incredibly soft, the meat is perfectly cooked and grilled, and the fresh salad, yummy sauce, and even the feta cheese complement each other flawlessly in this combination.
Lams pita ! Top !! Meat lovers, you gotta try this one 👌🏼 Every detail in this pita fits exactly where it belongs.. Pita bread is very soft, meat is deliciously cooked/ grilled, fresh salad , yummy sauce , even the feta (which is not my fav. Cheese) comes perfect with this combination. Thank you guys for all the love you put in our food ❤️

Despite the name "frituur", you get charged at renowned restaurant prices and that cannot be justified, although they tried. Pity, as food, service and atmosphere is good, but again, too high priced.

We accidentally found this little family owned Greek place as we were driving from Brussels to Frankfurt. We were starving but hate to eat at fastfood chains, so we decided to try this out based on ratings. Very yummy!! We all had different versions of the gyros and were very pleased!
