Description

Hunting trophies on the walls, sheepskins on the chairs and a huge fireplace-grill in the centre: the rustic stage is set for the friendly, buzzy Thrill in Genk. The extensive menu will make your tastebuds drool, all the more so as you can be safe in the knowledge that Rik Vandersanden is a high-flying craftsman. His ravioli of woodpigeon or his chuck Black Angus, masterfully grilled to rare on the BBQ, demonstrate his talent and generosity. Heaven for lovers of authentic, down to earth flavours.

Review summary

The Thrill in Genk specializes in grills and meats, generally receiving praise for high-quality dishes such as lobster, steak, and carpaccio. The food is often highlighted for its perfect preparation and rich flavors. Service is typically described as friendly and professional, with chefs occasionally engaging directly with guests, though isolated complaints mention pacing or attitude issues. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, complemented by a knowledgeable wine selection. However, some reviewers note that portions are small relative to the cost, and the menu can feel limited. While the culinary execution is strong, value for money is a mixed point, with some finding the pricing steep for the quantity served.
