Visited the restaurant on a quiet Thursday lunch. Friendly waiter welcomed us, assigned us a table in a very rustic setting. immediately asked for drinks, appreciated, we were thursty. Ordered a nice starter, KOP met SAUS, already forgot what it was but it tasted excellent with a beer. So horse meat I hear you say, why? Well, because it's healthy, tasty and a typical dish in that great city of Vilvoorde. French fries hand cut, mayonaise home made, salad prepared at the table by our waiter and a perfect cut of meat, prepared as it should. I took the 200 g steak, was sufficient for lunch, noticed the owner's mother (and former owner i was told) enter the house and greet everybody, i saw all kinds of guests, old to young, trendy and traditional and I saw happy people, those that want a restaurant for its quality and smile, nothing fancy, fairly priced. I liked it !

small restaurant but with lots of ambiance! Very tasteful horsemeat, fresh French fries.... Be entertained by the owner, but be prepared for some good laughs!

For many years, Spectrum has been one of my favourite restaurants for lunch/dinner with family/friends/business colleagues. The menu boasts some of the best Belgian food - with classics like l'américain (beef tartare) or seasonal dishes with asparagus, mussels or pheasant - but also more exotic dishes like Thai carpaccio or chicken red curry. My all time favourite is the pavé de bœuf, sauce poivre crème concassé.
The menu is updated monthly to reflect seasonal dishes. Friendly, efficient service. Outdoor Terrace. Excellent value for the price paid.

went here for lunch. New concept: high end food available in tapas. We had the 7 course tapas menu, which is reasonably priced at 49€. All dishes come nicely presented, correct portions and well prepared. We espacially appreciated the king crab and the ravioli with gamba. Very good formula! Friendly staff and nice greek wines to discover.

Fenikshof always have a table for us when other restaurants nearby rejected you because you "didnt make reservation" although their restaurants were half empty, but with Fenikshof they always made effort to accomodate us and with friendly service. This time I had ordered "Thai green curry" dish, now as an asian myself I need to comment on this dish so they can improve.
Most of the time the food here is excellent but the "Thai green curry" was a dissapointment, first of all that is not Thai green curry, it looks yellow, more like stir fry 'asian' veggies with rice in turmeric sauce. Too much turmeric and the veggies they put in there dont belong to Thai green curry, and they put the rice at the bottom of bowl mixed with the hot curry, making the rice boiling hot, you can hardly eat them. They should put the rice on separate plate like the Thai serve them.
The chicken were tender though so i could eat it.
But overall it's a nice cosy and trendy restaurant with friendly service and mostly good food.

small but cosy restaurant. The chinese lady is charming and an excellent host. The menu is very chinese. The food is certainly authentic and the cooking, although a little bit adapted to western style, is also rather authentic. Reservation is most of the time needed.

My husband, our youngest son and I went saturday to the restaurant Blink, for the first time for the 46th.birthday of our son. We were delighted by everything : the quality of the meals and the freshness of it. The elegance of the plates very well decorated, the service who was kind and professionnal. The aperitives : CAVA first class and the white wine Sauterne (from la Loire) who was delicious and chilled very well. And the meat and the fish were super fresh and we were very very happy to have chosen this restaurant. It's a quite place, it's possible to eat in the garden when weather permits it. We shall go back because we were so enchanted.

I discovered this restaurant through Tripadvisor as I was looking for good restaurants in the neighbourhood. So we went there with friends and were pleasantly surprised. The food there was very good, the service nice. The only thing that I would change are the wine glasses. They are not fancy , more the type that you would expect in a brasserie or café and this restaurant definitely deserves better. However, this did not ruin our dinner as all the rest was really good. We enjoyed our dinner a lot and will go back. A nice discovery that you would not expect when you drive in the street.

We, my wife and myself, were there, invited by a very good friend to celebrate his birthday. We had the opportunity to dine in the kitchen, from which we could watch the functioning of a Michelin star restaurant, in particular the coordinated ballet of the staff, among which the maestria of the lady of the place.
Cuisine is largely above average: every plate is a work of art, accompanied by an eclectic choice of wines. Without boasting, it's difficult to surprise me with an unexpected selection of wines, but this was an occasion for an exercise in modesty. Brilliant from start to end.
Take the menu of the day and let the host select the accompanying wines, it's certainly not cheap but you'll discover new and delicious flavors.
