d'Oude Burcht

Reviewed By Gonzalo_de_Berceo

This restaurant has an excellent location in the city center, with ample parking possibilities around the corner. The interior decoration is cozy, but sober. In fact, it is a small house in a busy street.Welcome and service are relaxed and efficient. The dishes of the market menu could count on very positive comments from our entire table. The wine was excellent.I could easily find some reason for not giving five stars, but since this restaurant is apparently already under fire by jealous competitors, to be recognized by ridiculous comments, low ratings and a low number of review reports (mostly 1), I gladly ignore a few minor details. Which, looking at them afterwards, are not important at all. In fact, the restaurant is not responsible for our tablemates ... ;-)

Last minute beslist om tijdens het weekend eens bij het 't Eikenhof langs te gaan voor een dinner. De recensies bleken goed, dus zeker het proberen waard. Er bleek nog een tafeltje voor 2 beschikbaar en werden er erg gastvrij ontvangen. Het kader is ietwat klassiek maar erg aangenaam. Er zijn een beperkt aantal tafeltjes. Geen luidruchtig gedoe. De keuze is eerder beperkt maar voldoende gevarieerd, wat goed is voor een restaurant dat met dagverse producten werkt. Eén van de huiswijntjes, een Franse Chardonnay (wit), bleek voor z'n €16,50 (fles) een uitstekende keuze te zijn. De maandmenu bleek ook voor mij een voltreffer. Mooie porties, voldoende (maar niet te lange) tussentijden én lekkere sausjes. Op het eind van de avond kwam de chef van tafel tot tafel om eens polsen of alles naar wens was. Werd geapprecieerd. Ja, we kwamen er aan met grote honger en verlieten voldaan de zaak. Wat mij betreft een aanrader. We komen er graag terug.

Friendly restaurant serving a modest range of extremely good wholesome food. We had a fantastic aubergine quiche with salad and a spaghetti bolognese. The place seemed very popular. Waitress helped us with the menu as we do not speak the language. Would definitely go back if in Kortrijk again.

If you are in for authentic Flemish food this is the place to be. Nicely restored building in a very narrow street of a tiny village near Kortrijk, sober interior decoration and beautiful garden (with plenty of outdoor games for the children). Excellent price-quality ratio. Friendly staff and efficient service.Two remarks on the downside: due to the shape of the ceiling, there is a serious acoustic problem in the dining room, but we heard that the owners were planning to fix this problem. Secondly, it took one hour between first and second course. It was a very busy day at this restaurant, but a Plat du Jour should always be prepared in advance, so that it can be served on the fly. Altogether: so much nicer and better than arrogant Daan a couple of houses down the road ...

The restaurant is quite expensive. You get a little food for it, a grilled piece of salmon with french fries and some sauce. But it tast good. The dessert was very good, self maked ice cream. The salt on the tablet was dirrty. The personal was friendly.

Reviewed By Gonzalo_de_Berceo

Located in the outskirts of Kortrijk, in a new industrial area, this restaurant is situated in what looks like an old farmhouse. Nice interior decoration and warm welcome. Efficient service. Staff is exclusively female, except for the chef, as far as we could see. Maybe coincidence. The quality/price ratio of the menu is very good. No flexibility was offered to replace an item in the menu. Wines are a little expensive indeed, but well chosen.In a brasserie you may expect a lot of noise. But the acoustics in the room are quite bad. This always happens with a V-shaped ceiling and no other sound-deadening materials.

Central location and definitely a place to visit again. Beautiful inside, great food and good service, particularly on a Friday evening when it was completely full. A lot of artistry went into the presentation and the choice of individual components to each dish

A couple of months later. They seem to have decided for the brasserie style. Also the food: decent, affordable, but not too complicated. This brasserie could be more enjoyable, if welcome and service were a little warmer. "Hello again ..." and a smile don't cost anything ... We'll be back to check ...

In the middle of nowhere, we were invited to have dinner at this exquisite restaurant. Everything was nearly perfect. Food SUPER delicious and a friendliness we didn't have for a long time in a restaurant. Prices are still very reasonable, given the to quality.We've been in many top star restaurants all over the world, and this is really on of the best.

Great location, great food and wine experience, perfect service ... at a reasonable price (during the week) for 4 courses dinner, paired wines, champagne aperitif and 2 half liter bottles of sparking water 120 € p.p. My 2cents : currently best foodie place around Kortrijk and Waregem. Well done !
