There is no printed menu, they just bring out the different cuts of the day and you pick the one you prefer. After they grill it on the green-egg and they serve it with beautiful cooked fries, salad, veggies and two sauces. Needless to say that they cook the meat to perfection... a fantastic medium rare! Le Steak 17 is really a no-nonsense place and focusses on the meat, the interior and the service is very minimal. Highly recommended for lovers of a decent steak!

A few dishes done very well with attention to cooking and table side service. The steak was the best I've ever had. The chef came to our table to talk with us about the choices. He recommended wit-blauw (Belgian beef) and Tomahawk steak. Prepared medium rare. The meal came with frietjes and sla (salad). The meat was the feature for sure. The service, food and attention to detail from the owner chef made the experience that much more. I highly recommend Le Steak 17 and will go back for sure.

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!

We had lunch at this French-style steakhouse, and it was a nice, casual atmosphere. The food was…read moregreat and the staff was very friendly. The menu was both in English and French, and our waitress spoke a little bit of English as well. The meal I ordered was an appetizer of lobster raviolis in a shellfish sauce, and my entree was a steak and onion kabob with a 3-cheese sauce. I enjoyed it a lot. My one problem with this place was how wildly overpriced the food was. For my appetizer, I received 3 lobster raviolis and it cost 16 Euros. The steak and onion kabob, while delicious, was almost 30 Euros. Including my meal and my girlfriend's, plus we both had a glass of wine, it came out to 98 Euros for lunch. That is the only bad part about it. If you don't mind forking over some money, this is a very nice place to eat.

We went here last night for dinner. As Joe Q. mentioned, it is quite pricey but Belgium is…read moreprobably one of the more expensive countries in Europe to eat out. This restaurant, which is also attached to the very small hotel known as Le Monte Cristo, has a set menu and they also do daily specials. The 3 of us decided on the menu, which was 29 Euros, a not-too-bad price for three courses. We all started off with some prawns. There were 4-5 in the bowl/plate (looked like a bowl!) with a delicious sauce. The prawns were nothing special but OK. The main course was a steak, actually the menu said it was an Irish steak, and it was a nice big chunk of meat. I enjoyed mine with pepper sauce but my wife felt that hers was too "chewy". At least here, when you ask for medium or rare, it is cooked that way, which is not the norm around the country. They don't seem to have the same ideas of rare, medium and well-done as an American restaurant would. For dessert, she had chocolate mousse and this lady is a lover of mousse. To her, this one was so-so, nothing special and perhaps a bit heavier than a mousse should be. I had the poire William, a whole pear baked or something, with some chocolate around it and also, I'm guessing some alcohol. There was also a side of ice cream on the plate. I enjoyed this but it was so filling. Overall, a nice experience. If you don't want to spend a fortune too, go for the set menu.

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.

He waited on all the tables while his girlfriend the chef cooked. We never wanted for anything, despite his being the only server.

The food was completely delicious. The atmosphere was relaxing and the restaurant was very comfortable. My friends had soup for the appetizer and steak and fries.

It has a kitchens for preparing the food, a central grill for certain dishes and mini grills that can be placed on your table for others. The cuisine is based around grilled meats, accompanied with a choice of baked potatoes or Frits and salads. The proprietor greeted us (he speaks English and French) and explained the choices for cooking the meals. We chose meals that are cooked at the table with the mini grills. I chose the beef plate which featured three types of beef in 100g portions each. My friend chose mixed grill plate which consisted of beef, lamb, chicken and ostrich. I chose a nice Pino Noir to go with the meal. I was driving so I passed on an after dinner whisky but I could have been quite content with the selection. Through my conversation with the proprietor I discovered that he built all the tables, bar, kitchen and grills himself. He is an avid skier and mountaineer. This is reflected in the decor which is tastefully put together. An interesting fact is that each table has a tag with the name of a historic expedition / explorer. If you aren't familiar with the name of your table, just ask and you will receive an interesting history lesson including some lesser known trivia about the expedition.
