Fodor's Expert Review Restaurant Molensteen
$$$
Gaasbeek
Belgian
Only a 10-minute walk from the castle, in the village of Gaasbeek, is this pleasant country restaurant with a pretty courtyard. Its building dates back to the late 18th century, and it has been a brewery, a tavern, and a farm in its day. Expect dishes such as horse steaks, venison tornados, and goose-liver pie with fig jam, all of which offer a more rustic take on the usual brasserie fare. A few dishes even make ample use of the local lambic beer made in these parts.
