Restaurant in Kruibeke, Belgium
Waasland Town-Square Dining
De Eenhoorn occupies a central square address in Kruibeke, making it a plausible walk-in stop for explorers passing through the Waasland region. Confirmed details on cuisine, hours, and price are limited, so verify before building a visit around it. For a guaranteed table in the area, Bazalia or De Ceder are better-documented local options.
De Eenhoorn sits on Kon. Astridplein in Kruibeke, a small Flemish municipality in the Waasland region between Antwerp and Ghent. If you are researching the Kruibeke dining scene and this name keeps appearing, here is what the available record tells you — and where the gaps are that matter to your decision.
The honest situation: the venue database for De Eenhoorn is sparse. Cuisine type, price range, current hours, chef details, and booking method are all unconfirmed at time of writing. That is not necessarily a red flag for a local address in a town this size, but it does mean you should treat any claim about the menu or kitchen beyond what appears here as unverified. For explorers who like doing the groundwork before they arrive, Kruibeke is a short drive from Antwerp and sits within a cluster of serious Flemish dining destinations worth building a trip around.
Given the editorial angle here, the relevant question for an explorer is whether De Eenhoorn makes sense as a brunch or weekend destination. The address — Kon. Astridplein, the main square of Beveren-Kruibeke-Zwijndrecht , places it at a civic centre location, which in Flemish towns of this scale typically means a café-brasserie format with morning and afternoon service. That is an informed inference from local context, not confirmed venue data. What it means practically: if you are planning a weekend morning in the Waasland, De Eenhoorn warrants a walk-past to check the board, but do not anchor your itinerary to it without confirming hours first.
For verified, data-rich morning or weekend dining nearby, the stronger confirmed options in the broader Belgian Flemish category are Vrijmoed in Gent and Zilte in Antwerp, both of which have structured booking and documented service formats. If you are driving through the region and want a reliable lunch rather than a discovery stop, those are better anchors.
Booking difficulty is rated Easy, which suggests this is not a reservation-required situation. Walk-in appears viable. No online booking platform is confirmed in the record, and no phone number is listed here, so contact via the venue directly or a search of local directories is the practical first step. The address is confirmed: Kon. Astridplein 20, 9150 Beveren-Kruibeke-Zwijndrecht.

Within Kruibeke itself, two venues with more data on record are worth comparing. Bazalia and De Ceder both operate locally and are documented options if you want a confirmed booking before you travel. For ambitious dining in the region, Hof van Cleve in Kruishoutem and Boury in Roeselare are the benchmark Flemish fine-dining addresses, with the planning logistics to match.
If you are coming from Brussels rather than Antwerp, Bozar Restaurant in Brussels and d'Eugénie à Emilie in Baudour are documented stops along that corridor. For international reference points on what serious destination dining looks like at the leading end, Le Bernardin in New York City and Lazy Bear in San Francisco give useful benchmarks for format and ambition.
Willem Hiele in Oudenburg is also worth noting for explorers who want a Flemish coastal experience, and La Durée in Izegem and Cuchara in Lommel round out the regional creative-cooking options for a longer Flanders itinerary.
Book De Eenhoorn only after confirming hours and format directly , the data gap here is wide enough that arriving without checking first is a real risk. For a planned food trip to the Waasland, treat it as a potential walk-in discovery stop rather than the anchor of your day. The address is central, access is easy, and the booking difficulty is low, so the downside of a spontaneous visit is minimal. For anything requiring a confirmed table, the alternatives above are better starting points.
