    Always a hit. It doesn't get any better than this. Authenticity, friendly staff, excellent service and quality products. Where anyone can eat, leave his hat and call it home.

    Amazing food and service. Horse Steak special was super tender and delicious, had it with the peppercorn sauce which was plentiful and on point. Tete de Veau as an appetizer was a great way to start.

    One of the best and most unique dining experiences I’ve ever had. The horse charcuterie has such a great and unique flavor and the horse tartare was the best I’ve had. We had the horse steak both grilled and pan fried, and I’d recommend both because the flavour really is different. Beer and wine drink pairings were perfect, and the homemade ice cream was some of the best I’ve had. Worth a trip outside of Brussels!

    Horse steak with french fries and a salade. Live can be so good. Especially in the authentic restaurant De Kuiper.

    Authentic Belgian horse steak house. Great fresh fries, salad and homemade mayonnaise. The service is exquisite and the atmosphere is authentic. Mostly visited by an older audience but that makes it just that bit more authentic.

    You might feel guilty for wanting to eat horse meat, but that goes away quickly when you try their grilled steak. Highly recommended for anyone around Brussels looking for a place to dine with a nice local vibe.

    Simply outstanding Belgian home cooking. If you’re afraid of horse meat fear not: plenty of other options. Large selection of beers and fairly priced wines. Wonderful, friendly team.

    Wow! If you want to try horse meat at its best come here. Be prepared to queue but it is worth it. Well cooked food, good wine, exceptional beer and if you get the chance to talk to the owners you will meet lovely hosts

    Its like a tile machine! You get blasted 50 years back in time. But the food is wonderful. Simple, as there is only horse meat on the menu (filet-pur, entrecote, horse stew and prepared raw meat). This allows them to cook the dishes to perfection.

    Great place. Very relaxed, excellent service and excellent food. Place is small, making it a great opportunity to socialize while waiting for your table. I ordered a pan fried steak and it was perfect!

  • 5/5 Willie C. 1 year ago on Google
    Specializing in horse meat. Simple menu. My steak was cooked perfectly. My Creme Brulee was simply delicious. Old restaurant with local patronage. Always busy, may have a bit of wait, but well worth the time.

    The place to be in vilvoorde for horse steak.

  • 5/5 Gregory O. 7 years ago on Google
    The best horse steak in the world served an authentic setting by friendly staff. Everything here is just perfect; Deliciously cooked horse steak, fresh salad with home made mayonnaise and authentic Belgian fries. A large selection of Belgian beers and wines. Be sure to try the "Geperste Kop" as appetizer.

Appetizers are mainly deep fried. The wine list is very limited, with for example only three white wines, of which one was not availabl...

😐 Before it was better. Now the quality has gone down unfortunately and the prices have hiked a lot. Like a lot a lot. You can still see the old prices from a few months ago on this page.

😐 The restaurant is nice with really good wine. The pizza looks very good, however mine was really salty. We didn’t have a reservation but managed to get in, however I would recommend making one because it gets packed very fast. The service was also okay.
