Too much to eat in the first sitting so we are going back for more. The drink list, especially the gin concoctions, are well done. We were also impressed with the quality of the service, the servers make sure to give you a complete run down on the menu and then help you pick a selection that matches your taste. I had the pork ribs, delicious, my traveling companion has the brisket. Both were some of the best we have had. If you are in Leuven, this is a spot not to be missed.

I went for the Sirloin Angus Dried Aged and was really not disappointed. (although from tasting my friend's meat it was not the tastiest, but I wanted a lean piece, which also goes with a loss of flavour given by the fat). I took my meat with Archiduc sauce, which was glorious, and it also came with a side of thin crispy fries and a very generous side of lettuce. The red house wine was also excellent. Prices are very decent for this level of service and food quality. I Definitely recommend giving it a try if you are into quality meat. (we did not even look at the rest of the menu as the obvious specialty is beef)

If I tell you we drive a combined total of almost two hours for the steaks these guys serve.. And we keep going back for more. I think I've said enough! Let's start with the setting.. It's an old farm totally refurbished, they have a wine cellar, whiskey and gin bar up the attic, half open kitchen and the dining hall is located in sort of a green house (winter garden). As far as you can see around you is a hilly landscape full of fields which adds to the total farm experience. The staff is super friendly and helpful, they're good with kids (in the summer time there's a bouncy castle, sheep to look at and go-carts for kids) and they get a lot of foreign customers and treat them as well as they can. The wine selection is good, and you can even go and get a bottle in the wine cellar. You always get home made potato chips, ham and bread as appetizers, followed up by some black pudding sausage, meat salad etc. all products from the butchers shop they run.. And you can take all these products with you when you go home. Let's move on to the meat.. It's not the cheapest but it's the best as far as I know. They serve two kinds of meat.. Veal or junior beef (all own bred cattle), I always tend to go for the last one since I prefer red meat and veal tends to be a lot lighter. Your knife will literally slide trough this tasty redness. I'm also very keen on the extra herb "crust" they put on the meat if you ask them.. Delicious!! The desserts are ok and the coffee is always accompanied by fresh apple cake. The only thing I'm not so fond of is the buffet style salad bar, but I'm not a rabbit so no harm done! Good job guys, keep up the good work.

We…read morehad the option of eating out front under the umbrellas, but chose inside as it was an incredibly hot day. Not much cooler inside. Our server offered our group of 7 two tables pushed together near the front, explaining that the back was hotter since that's where they cook the steaks on the Big Green Egg (her English was very good). The server lugged out a very heavy rack of beers and even heavier rack of wine bottles for our perusal. Drinks chosen, we were presented with a vocal list of appetizers...meatballs, Camembert cheese, bone marrow and steak tartar. We chose the tartar. It was abundant and excellent. The dinner "menu" consisted of a large board with the 6 or 7 cuts of steak available. (They did offer a veggie burger for our lone vegetarian) Most steaks are offered at a 300g portion, but the tomahawk and porterhouse were huuuge. Steaks and temperatures were selected. They came out promptly, properly cooked and delicious. They were accompanied by group salads, fries, baked beans, roasted squash and a peppercorn sauce for the steaks. Desserts were offered but everyone was stuffed. Overall, well worth experiencing, but maybe go on a cool day...

The bread and butter was perfection for an appetizer! I ordered a New Zealand filet and my husband got a t bone. We also ordered fries, beans and rice and a salad. Everything was melt in your mouth amazing. The beans were a little dry but the flavor was amazing so I ate them anyway. For dessert we had a fruit salad which came with ice cream. And by the time we left I was so full and happy. I would definitely try this place out! Don't forget to make a reservation if it's the weekend as all the restaurants in the area get very busy!

DECOR - As soon as we pulled up in the parking lot I was impressed with the layout and decor of the place. You could tell the building is well cared after. On the inside everything is beautifully decorated with floor to ceiling of wood. Great for groups, lots of space and a beer garden. The staff is friendly and makes you feel at home. The owner greets and spends time with customers through out the evening. Just a great vibe and most importantly an enjoyable evening. FOOD & DRINK - the menu has a great selection of fantastic beers and Bavarian food. Our picks were the sausages with kraut which was to die for. Two of us were not big on kraut but in this case cleaned the plate. For mains highly recommend the jäger schnitzel, the meatloaf and the cordon blue. For sides we had spatzel which is buttery pasta bits, potato dumpling which consisted of a fluffy starch ball, and traditional potato salad. The schnitzel was the best I've ever had and I've had my fair share of German food but Bavarian style takes the cake for me.
