'Onder den toren': "Under the tower...." Top 5 Page for this destination Mechelen Restaurant Tip by belgianchocolate

This restaurant might not look appealing when you passe by...I just want to say , give it a shot.

The place has been here for years and looks a bit old fashioned. So is the food and that is what I like. No fusion things , no modern foetsy tootsy...just honest plain good food.

This restaurant has two parts . Where you enter is an ordinary 'frituur' , a tipical belgian place where they sell fries , sauces and tipical belgian snacks.
In the back on the left is the door to the restaurant part... a large spacious room with wooden pannels on the wall.

The service is a bit shy and intimate , the audience not the best mannered , but the food is absolutely great...

Favorite Dish: They got a really cheap menu : often 4 courses for less then 17 euro , dessert included.

-Mechelse koekoek with glaceed succory

I chose the suggestion...back of a hare with applesauce , peppersauce , fries and cranberrysauce (15,50 euro)
