Mykene

About

Mykene is a charming Belgian restaurant tucked in the pedestrian Muntstraat in the heart of Leuven. The building, a restored old patrician house, offers an airy and spacious dining room with a pleasant terrace – the perfect backdrop for a leisurely meal. The menu focuses on pure Belgian cuisine with an exceptional, unique selection of Belgian beers served both in a glass and incorporated into dishes. Over the seasons the dishes change – from spring asparagus to summer mussels and autumn game – and the kitchen’s offerings now include a growing range of vegetarian, vegan, and keto options. The restaurant welcomes parties of all sizes, and larger groups can request bespoke menus. Mykene’s philosophy is simple: locally sourced, fresh ingredients, expertly prepared with a focus on healthful, gluten‑free meals, and a small environmental footprint. Whether you’re a foodie, a beer enthusiast, or simply craving authentic Belgian flavours in a historic setting, Mykene invites you to experience the culinary heritage of Leuven. The restaurant is closed on Sundays, but on weekdays and Saturdays it opens at 11:30, closes for lunch at 14:00, and reopens for dinner from 17:30 to 21:30. Reservations are recommended for larger parties, and can be made online via the official website. With its vibrant atmosphere, seasonal menu, and commitment to sustainability, Mykene is a must-visit destination for locals and tourists alike. The historic interior, beautiful terrace, and exquisite Belgian cuisine promise an unforgettable dining experience in Leuven.
