    If you go to eat there, don't take the Hoorn burger, and don't eat outside/at the bar, price is scandalous for the food, (17e for the burger, no fries, reheated frozen burger which didn't taste like meat), the italiaanse bol burger seemed more decent, upstairs might be better for the price (?) Since you'd at least get fries and maybe a proper plate to eat on. Still, won't ever eat there again

    The food is not great but it's ok and the place looks great. That is where the good impression stops. Some waiters are rude and the ordered drinks sometimes simply do not arrive. You still pay for them though...

    (Translated by Google) Corona measures are not followed, a large group (15 men) stands up without a mouth mask, they are mixed up and the operation makes no remarks. Disturbing and unpleasant for other customers. Very mediocre no greetings. Tasty orval slurped (Original) Coronamaatregels worden er niet gevolg, grote groep (15 man) staat recht zonder mondmasker, ze lopen door elkaar en de bediening maakt geen enkele opmerking. Storend en onaangenaam voor andere klanten. Zeer matig geen groetjes. Wel lekkere orval geslurpt

    Great eatery with very interesting dishes. (Almost) All of the food was cooked with beer. Also the best nachos I have ever eaten.

    Wow! What an experience! We have great and cold beers! Also the wine selection is pretty nice! We totally suggest the Rigatoni, vegan dish, and for the ones that loves meat, the stoverij is a great choice! The atmosphere is super. The place is modern and you can order using a QR-code with your own smartphone! Totally recommend it!

    We had the pleasure sit outside on the terrace next to the creek. Wonderfully place and combine it with a visit to the old brewhouse of Stella Artois

    Excellent food and am ience in this old brewery turned restaurant. In here right in Leuven, Belgium, you can dine in this restaurant and actually visit the more than one hundred years old former brewery equipment made of real copper. AMAZING.

    It was a first time for me and a pleasant one. Sure to come back again. Food was awesome, Nachos for starters plus the Cauliflower with Barbeque sauce. The Thai Curry for the Mains was also one to be mentioned though the portion was too much.

  • 4/5 M A. 4 years ago on Google • 152 reviews
    Nice experience all round. Unlike some other reviewers, we had a great server. Really friendly and relaxed yet still professional and knowledgeable. Food was good (especially when compared to some other places in a similar price bracket). The dining room is industrial yet inviting.

  • 4/5 Sarani B. 1 year ago on Google • 118 reviews
    Food was pretty good 👍 but the service was awfully slow on a busy day 🐌 nice place to hangout with friends and colleagues 👍

  • 4/5 Jannes V. 5 months ago on Google • 112 reviews
    Nice restaurant with lots of classic Flemish options, but very high quality. However, it is quite expensive for the amount of food you get. The style is very industrial and the staff as friendly as you expect.

  • 5/5 charles n. 1 year ago on Google • 87 reviews
    Historical and Modern. Resto, Bar and the previous-previous Artois Brewhouse next door. Not the one from 1366 but still a nice piece of history! Best spots to drink Stella Artois in its best shape in a Belgian boerke glass!

  • 5/5 M R. 2 months ago on Google • 29 reviews New
    Great place for a lunch or a drink! Always do reservations as difficukt to get free tables, specially for dinner time. A nice addition to the new area of Leuven

  • 2/5 Nicolas K. 10 months ago on Google • 26 reviews
    Food was good, but the service was really bad! The person that was serving us, was very rude and was not explaining the menu to us, it seemed that he didn’t know the menu himself. As a result we ordered something that we didn’t want to order due to bad communication. The other people that survived us were really nice, but that specific person was awful 😅.

  • 5/5 Yanti De V. 6 months ago on Google • 23 reviews
    Very nice restaurant with a variety of dishes. They're all quite big portions and really tasteful.

  • 2/5 Kathy G. 9 months ago on Google • 12 reviews
    Took almost 45 minutes to get our lunch order. Only 2 waiters during a busy lunch rush. The guy who served us reeked of sweat and was clueless when asked what the seasonal vegetables were. When our steaks finally arrived it wasn't even lukewarm. And I most definitely have had better rib eye. This didn't even look like a rib eye. Not worth the money.

  • 3/5 Raheleh Y. 1 year ago on Google
    You can order online, but it is not clear from the beginning! It took us a while until we realized. Staff expect you to order online so they are not around so often. The ginger lemon tea was too strong, the hot chocolate was cold. But the atmosphere and decorations were nice. It is a cozy cafe to meet in, far from all the hassle of the center of Leuven.

    Recommend! Tasty food. Nice environment. Good service. Not the biggest menu in Leuven, but everything is of high quality!

  • 3/5 Manuela G. 2 years ago on Google
    Pasta was a bit bitter, might be the beer that was finally not really my taste in this dish.

  • 4/5 Jan B. 5 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Germán B. 2 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Lorenz H. 2 years ago on Google
    Good quality and quantity of food. Nice setting. Pretty fast service as well.

  • 4/5 Rik T. 2 years ago on Google
    The “Italiaanse Bol” is epic. A sandwich with a grilled steak, rucola, parmegiano and a great dressing. And finish off with a piece of pastry.

  • 5/5 Eyram D. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good place. I went there for a company event and it was great (space, ambiance, service, food...). I do recommend.

  • 5/5 Yoeri C. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place to drink something! Friendly service. Recommended +++

  • 4/5 Matteo 1 year ago on Google
    Service very slow, normal pasta but the "grissini" inside, no possible to see for italian traditions. Anyway good. Please speed-up the service, thanks

  • 3/5 karel k. 1 year ago on Google
    Service is good, the food is very basic.

  • 4/5 Jurgen Suijs (. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice industrial look. But we came for the old Stella Artois brewery, the old brewery house with the copper kettles can be visited and that's it. However, this room is a beautiful scenery of the old brewery house.

  • 5/5 Andrew R. 1 year ago on Google
    A large spacious loft restaurant in the centre of the town, part of a former brewery. Very atmospheric. Visited as part of a large group for a corporate evening meal. The group was easily accommodated. We had good beer and food, service speed was reasonable.

  • 4/5 Zeljko V. 1 year ago on Google
    Haven’t got the opportunity to dine since the kitchen was already closed once we got there at 10PM. The girl welcoming us was nice and offered to prepare a croque monsieur since we stormed in hungry, I find that very nice! The place looked nice, definitely would come back next time kitchen is open! So be aware although the place is open till midnight, dinner is only till 22!

  • 5/5 Luiza F. 1 year ago on Google
    Great atmosphere, friendly service and tasty food! Veggie canneloni and pasta frutti di mare were excellent. A bit pricy, but portions are big.

  • 5/5 Alex R. 1 year ago on Google
    A must go in Leuven. Authentic food that goes with the freshest Stella in town!

  • 5/5 Jim V. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) What a place! This shop has everything to make you feel good and to be praised. The horn refers to the star horn in the emblem of Stella Artois. Is it the cornucopia? From here, Stella Artois (and Interbrew) certainly robbed the world. A cozy "grand café" with terrace downstairs and restaurant with skyview above, there are also banquet rooms available. On one side you look out over the Sluispark, the church of St-Geertrui with "the nailless tower" and Leuven. On the other side you can see the brewery hall with the original beer barrels and engine room. Besides a lot of light and space, there is also a friendly staff who ensures a smooth service. The meat is extremely tender, there is also fish and vegetarian. It is also affordable. And a walk afterwards along the renovated Vaartkom, the mysterious Keizersberg (Boelenberg) or the city center are possible! I will definitely come back here. (Original) Wat een plaats! Deze zaak heeft alles om je er goed te voelen en geroemd te worden. De hoorn refereert naar de hoorn met ster in het embleem van Stella Artois. Is het de hoorn des overvloeds? Van hieruit heeft Stella Artois (en Interbrew) alleszins de wereld verroverd. Een gezellig "grand café" met terras beneden en restaurant met skyview boven, er zijn ook feestzalen aanwezig. Aan de ene kant kijk je uit over het Sluispark, de kerk van St-Geertrui met "de nagelloze toren" en Leuven. Aan de andere zijde zie je de brouwerszaal met de originele bierkuipen en machinekamer. Behalve veel licht en ruimte is er ook vriendelijk personeel die zorgt voor een vlotte bediening. Het vlees is uitermate mals, er is ook vis en vegetarisch. Betaalbaar is het bovendien ook. En wandelingetje achteraf langs de vernieuwde Vaartkom, de mysterieuze Keizersberg (Boelenberg) of het stadscentrum behoren tot de mogelijkheden! Hier kom ik zeker terug.

    A café-restaurant in a renovated brewery. The decor is very industrial but remains charming. Good food with very nice vegatarian dishes.

  • 3/5 Sam R. 4 years ago on Google
    De Hoorn is good for a quick drink at the end of the workday. When the weather is sunny, the terrace is often too small. Service is on the slow side.

  • 5/5 Alexander B. 3 years ago on Google
    Good restaurant, good service

  • 1/5 Harsh T. 4 years ago on Google
    Came for lunch. We were asked to choose only from 4 dishes not because others were not available but because the manager wants things simple. Who is the manager? Can he/she respond?

    (Translated by Google) Such a beautiful location and then this is so neglected. Such a beautiful day today and the terrace is not set up. Order a beer with chunks + poorly tapped. Repack, you can make something beautiful out of this! (Original) Zo een mooie locatie en dan wordt dit zo verwaarloost. Zo een mooie dag vandaag en het terras is niet opgesteld.
