    Delicious restaurant with typical Belgian dishes, also made with home made beer! You have a suggestion regarding the type of beer that matches better with the plate you choose. 🤩

    Nice environment, great to have all beer related dishes, but unfortunately, the food is a bit disappointing : too much /heavy on the sauce, too little taste of the food itself. This was the fish soup (heavy on creme) and the fish with lobster sauceThe Grimbergen 'champaign beer' however is absolutely delish.

    We went there with a big group so we reserved the place in advance. It is a nice big place with lot of sitting and quite busy in the evening specially weekend. They have good 3 course dinner but you will have a hard time if you are vegan. They only have one dish for vegan and its not innovative. I think they need to work on more vegan dishes. I can recommend this place to non vegan people for once.

    Not as good as it used to be... The venue itself is fabulous, in a lovely setting and the beer is good too 😊 I was recently there for a birthday party. One of the waiters was quite unfriendly, didn't smile - it was almost like we were an inconvenience. They forgot to take the order for the group's main course so the chef decided we were all having vol au vent instead and closed the kitchen... Had to keep asking for drinks, for the table to be cleared...

    My favorite place in Grimbergen to have a nice meal or even for coffee or a drink. The décor is very nice and the staff very friendly. The view at the cathedral is unique. Large parking facility to make your visit easy.

    Very interesting visit, with taste of 3 beers made in the microbrewery. Very nice staff who help us to choose the right beer to taste. I recommend the mix plank with cheese, croquettes.

  • 5/5 Meylemans P. 4 years ago on Google • 145 reviews
    The Fenikshof is a nice place to spend a few hours at the table with friends or family. The food is good and there is something for everyone’s taste on the menu. Children can play outside so that their parents can chat or fully enjoy the food. If you like Belgian beer, you will have to try the famous Grimbergen abbey beer, brewn in the local abbey.

  • 4/5 Morgan the Sourdough B. 5 years ago on Google • 116 reviews
    Nice terrace in the sun with cover. The beer is amazing as its grimbergen and the food is delightful. Make sure you book if you have a large group as im sure it can get quite busy here. Dont worry if it takes awhile for service the food is fast and surprisingly good. I hope that you can visit Grimbergen !

    Nice food, service a little slow but very friendly waitress. Nice view on the abbey and church and very nice terrasse. Will try again.

  • 4/5 Dogu Mertkan A. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is really average, nothing special. They always overcook the steak so order one level raw than what you eat normally. We were sitting as last guests in their armchairs in the middle of the restaurant and then they just boosted the speaker above us while reducing the others. They could have kindly asked us to leave instead.

  • 5/5 Michel V. 4 years ago on Google
    Very good restaurant in a lovely place. Each time I ate there it was good food with pleasant people.

    What can i say, great place to visit. Food is so tasty, service super friendly without licking. And cherry on a cake, Double ambree beer, which is on the absolute top of The beer world.

  • 2/5 Tiffany L. 2 years ago on Google
    Don't go here expecting to be served in a timely manner. Went here with my family on a slow Sunday afternoon and didn't receive any service for almost an hour (they didn't even come to take our order until we had been sitting for more than 45 minutes!). They sat us in the corner and ignored us. For more than 45 minutes we sat and no one even came to take our drink order. Meanwhile servers came and went, cleaned tables, stood around, and attended to other tables. It wasn't until the table next to us (a couple of strangers) joined in and waved the server down, that she even attempted to notice us, even then she proceeded to gather dishes from an empty table before coming to ours to take our orders. Very frustrating and not at all what I would expect from a restaurant of this caliber.

    A very nice place to have local beers 🍻 and tasty food! One should plan some time to enjoy the tour that the restaurant offers in the abbey park, the beer production site, and a small museum! At the end, all try different types of tap beers Grimbergen!

  • 5/5 Josh g. 1 year ago on Google
    Grimbergen brewery restaurant. The food is great and the double dubble is my favorite beer. Worth stopping at if you're near Brussles.

  • 5/5 Manie C. 1 year ago on Google
    The best experience in a long time. The setting is fabulous, no music played in the restaurant which was perfect for us, we detest the loud music most establishments believe is required for a good experience. The Grimbergen speciality beers were the best I have ever had, full of body yet clean and crisp. The food great as was the service. Highly recommended.

    (Translated by Google) Super rude manager as well as super arrogant, asks directly if we have reserved a table, gives us the furthest table, does not appreciate the French language too much ... makes us wait, makes one more remark for cigarettes 😂, since 'We were not well received when other tables are available she leaves us hungry, in short we preferred to eat elsewhere we will surely not go back! Pretty pretty place, the Only thing good 👌 (Original) Manager super désagréable ainsi que super arrogante, demande direct si on a réservé une table , nous donne la table la plus éloignée , n’apprécie pas trop la langue française... nous fait attendre fait encore une remarque pour les cigarettes 😂, vu qu’on a pas été bien accueilli alors que d’autres tables se libèrent elle nous laisse le ventre vide , bref on a préféré manger ailleurs on ne retournera sûrement plus ! Endroit assez jolie , la Seule chose de bien 👌

    (Translated by Google) Very bad service, unfriendly, the food was nothing special Beautiful setting, nice terrace Answer: Dear, I asked the waitress if it was possible to adapt a dish by allergen. The answer to this was "no." Then I asked if she could go into the kitchen after asking, "uh, no." Again. I think that's bad service. In all other establishments where I have eaten this is possible and the brasserie was almost empty. With a lot of hustle and bustle it would still be understandable. + Your comment "if you enjoy posting such a comment ...." I also find very poor customer service. I'm not saying anything unfair, a review is an assessment of my experience, my experience was that the setting was very nice, the food of my party was ok, and the service was not good. 2nd answer .... I think you are talking about a different customer than because I didn't eat a dish. And no, that's definitely not bad service, I was talking about your college unpleasantly just saying 'no'. I can well imagine that it is not easy to make something off the menu, but every other time I have gone somewhere for dinner, they have never said 'no' to me (I always say that just vegetables is, in order not to be stuck with nothing, that doesn't bother me that much, but the atmosphere is something else). I often do not go along so as not to have to be difficult, but now and then I want to get together with family or friends, and that usually goes very smoothly. I just left my review, ask for explanation ok. But I didn't know I was going to have to write a novel to account for my experience on a website that asks for my experience. (Original) Zeer slecht bediening, onvriendelijk , het eten was niets speciaal Mooie kader, leuk terras Antwoord: Beste, ik vroeg aan de serveus of het mogelijk was om een gerecht aan te passen door allergene. Het antwoord hier op was "nee." Dan vroeg ik of ze in de keuken kon na vragen , weer "euh, nee.". Dat vind ik slecht bediening. In alle andere etablissement waar ik al heb gegeten kan dit en de brasserie was bijna leeg. Bij veel drukte zou het een beetje verstaan nog. + U commentaar "als er plezier in heeft zulke commentaar te plaatsen...." vind ik trouwens ook zeer slechte customer service. Ik zeg niks onrechtvaardig, een review is een beoordeling van mijn ervaring, mijn ervaring was dat het kader zeer mooi was, het eten van mijn gezelschap was ok, en de bediening was niet goed. 2de antwoord.... Ik denk dat u het over een andere klant heeft dan want ik heb geen gerecht opgegeten. En nee, dat is zeker geen slechte service, ik had het over uw college die onaangenaam alleen maar 'nee' bleef zeggen. Ik kan mij goed voorstellen dat het niet makkelijk is om iets off the menu te maken, maar elke andere keer dat ik ergens ben gaan eten, hebben ze mij nog nooit 'nee' gezegd (ik zeg dan ook altijd dat gewoon groentjes al heel goed is, om toch niet met een niks te zitten, mij stoort dat nog niet zo veel maar de sfeer is dan wel iets anders). Ik ga vaak niet mee om niet moeilijk te moeten doen, maar af en toe wil ik toch met familie of vrienden samen komen, en meestal gaat dat ook wel zeer vlot eigenlijk. Ik liet gewoon mijn beoordeling achter, naar uitleg vragen ok. Maar ik wist niet dat ik een roman ging moeten schrijven om mij te verantwoorden over mijn ervaring op een website dat vraagt om mijn ervaring.

    Dont order the steak frites the steak is as tough and dry as old boots, we did send back they did replace with the entrecote only marginally better. Would I ever eat here again? NEVER!!!! Nice for a drink maybe wine selection poor the best was St Emilon 45€ but really that was probably the worst meal/steak we have ever eaten my uncle nearly choked trying to swallow it and he so wanted to treat us out for a special meal, Ghastly given that the boy who served us was very sweet and accommodating.

    À very nice location, you have a great view to the Abbey of Grimbergen, beautiful garden. Food is at good quality and amount, good Beerselection of course. Nice interior, friendly Staff. A cozy fireplace highlights the center of the Brasserie. If you just want to have a drink, it's also a perfekt place to go.

It tasted ok if it were a €2,00 toasty, but it actually cost €8,00. Also the atmosphere was weird. For a “Herberg” one would...
