De Molen Grill
About
De Molen Grill is a warm, family‑friendly steakhouse tucked into the historic Dorpender mill beside the Molenvijver park in Genk. The former gristmill’s rustic interior, complete with original millstones and exposed beams, instantly transports guests to a nostalgic countryside setting while the lively atmosphere keeps diners in good spirits. The restaurant’s signature is its impeccably grilled meats. The kitchen team cooks each cut on Haspengouw firewood, giving every steak, fillet mignon, entrecôte, brochette, and chaçeu‑briand a smoky, caramelised finish that locals swear by. Complementing the meat dishes are perfectly seasoned fries, personally prepared and tossed in lightly salted butter, as well as a selection of homemade side dishes. Outdoor dining is equally inviting, with a spacious terrace that seats 70 guests under the Molenvijver’s trees. Diners can choose shaded or sun‑lit spots while enjoying the serene park view and the gentle sound of the nearby creek. The terrace also doubles as a relaxed gathering place for families and friends after the main meal. Parking is convenient, with free street parking available on Molenstraat after 18:00 and no ticket needed on public holidays. A prepaid parking area around the Molenvijver is also accessible, ensuring a hassle‑free visit from the moment you arrive.
