Great service, atmosphere and the best beers! Had a surprise birthday dinner in the restaurant for my partner with friends and everyone had a great time, in fact we were in the restaurant for over 4 hours! All of the staff in particular the two waitresses who looked after us on the night were awesome and very accommodating. Great food and the best cherry beer. Would recommend this place to everyone.
I love this place the food and atmosphere is really good. I have a Dutch background and love trying to translate the flemish.
Staff are always friendly and food is great and the beer is real good. Not expensive either
Absolutely awesome place.. Atmosphere is great and the beers are mint.. Highly recommend this place ��
Great range of special beers. Got to tase a few before deciding what to have. Great food and atmosphere. Friendly and helpful staff. Paid via tap and go no problems.
Delicious food and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend to friends
Actually had amazing service- had a drink spilt on me but it was handled better than anywhere else I’ve been and had issues- over the moon with the staff there 👏
Incredible food and service last night (that pork belly ... drool)!
If someone could organise a Cherry beer tap in my kitchen, that would be great! �
The staff are extremely attentive and very professional, the food is amazing and the atmosphere wonderful. One of my favourite places 😀
This is probably one of my favourite spots to go and grab a beer and I definitely go the hoegaarden when I’m there. They also served pretty nice food, oh and did I mention half price mussels on Monday? So yes, definitely worth coming by!
Gotta admit...Belgian Beer Cafe dishes up some pretty good feed for the price you pay! I can't really explain what it's like to eat here, except maybe for the fact that it really does make you feel like you're in Belgium for a second? The food has been nothing but consistently...
A great spot to sit back and have a few beers - food - service and staff super. One of the better spots in the cbd to have a drink and relax at...
Hidden jewel at Rundle street. Superb ambience with good music
High point: the pouring tradition and endless beer options to choose from.
A miss: No cocktails - but not a deal breaker
I love the vibe of this place, it’s great for Friday night catch ups. It’s pretty loud on the weekends so I wouldn’t recommend coming for a date. Food was average however, I will come again and try something different. Good beer and wine selection.
Great atmosphere! And in a great little street..... Very friendly staff and GREAT beer and cider... 🌟🍺🍻🍻🍺
Calm and quiet in the city of Adelaide.
If u work on Rundle St - best place to go on a Friday evening after work ! Great beers , good service and best chips ever! Also if your hungry try the mussles in a pot... Yummmmmmmm

Went to the Belgian Beer Cafe with mates tonight. Got the stuffed potato and beer tasting tray. Loved both of them. The food was delicious and the tray was great too! Would recommend!
As you would expect, a great range of beers available here. The menu has enough on it to be interesting. The pork rilette didn't come out as expected (potted), it was already spread on bread. Still tasty. The chicken meatballs were good. My pork belly was tender, but the crackling wasn't quite crispy enough. The retro crumbed lamb cutlets were cooked well.
We really enjoyed experience, the mussels were nice and plumped full of flavour. Served with a cone of crispy chips and a house made mayonnaise dipping sauce made it very filling. The best part was dine in on a Monday the mussels are half price. Highly recommended this place for your mussel dishes.
Muscles galore. Not sure you could find better value muscle anywhere else in Australia. At $30 a pot for plump, juicy muscles it’s already a bargain but Monday nights for $15 it unbelievably good and it’s not just the muscle, each of the broths are full of flavor, we tried 3 variants last night and no matter what you pick you can’t go wrong. Beer selection is also great and the only place in Adelaide I can still find Belle-Vue Kriek. If you feel like escaping Adelaide for a couple of hours check out the BBCO, the interior is so beautifully decorated I feel like I’m in Belgium.
Came here for dindins 2nite and was a tasty treat indeed. Had the beer and burger of the month deal for $20 and did not disappoint. Was a southern style shredded beef burger with slaw, pickles & chipotle mayo on a brioche bun accompanied with a Stella Artois and the beef was deelish!!
The girls had a steak and the Oost dog and with my meal, their meals & drinks plus the entertainment discount came to just over $50 wat a bargain!!
Service was lovely and atmosphere was good (being fringe time too so was quite busy) but was a nice experience indeed especially considering the last few times have been pretty hit and miss on food so 2nite was a great treat. 👍😊
We showed up for a late dinner after a movie without a booking, when the local area was totally clogged with punters for the Fringe & they were able to find us a table.
We started with chips with mayo because everything is better with mayo.
I had a Framboise (raspberry) beer which is the perfect beer for someone who doesn't like it too bitter. Previously we have had the pot of mussels (fab), so this time we ordered sliders - I had 2 x pulled pork which was moist with delish slaw & pickle, while he had the 2 x wagyu beef which he enjoyed. I was very tempted by the moule slider though.
Both were served with chips which wasn't mentioned on the menu. So we had an overload of chips & asked for more mayo plus tomato sauce which the waitress happily brought us.
My blister had the spiced chicken burger and said it was good too.
The service was attentive & cheerful even though it was hell-busy. Too full for dessert (darn those chips).
Great Belgian beer cafe with plenty of beer options in bottles. A little pricey, but I think that's just the way it is in Australia. Nice patio and authentic Belgium beer pouring service.
Great place for lunch when out during events. Staff friendly and accommodating. Child friendly. Love how well the staff were able to keep up when It was so busy..very impressive.
Always here for mussels on Monday as they are half priced. Really good but the waiting time gets too long. Usually order bread to go with the mussels. Bread are toasted but still soft which is good as we did not like our bread too toasted.

Great location away from the traffic.
I'll start with the restaurant side. You'll definitely need to book on weekends or be prepared to sit on the general bar side for a while and possibly have a few frothies prior to seats becoming available in the restaurant side.
The seating arrangements for the restaurant are a bit squishy although after waiting to be seated for roughly an hour last time, I'd knocked back a few beers at the general bar so I didn't mind the lack of elbow room and people bumping into me.
The service was adequate although the meals took a while to come out. I'd have to say I was pretty sloshed by the time my meal arrived so my review may not be the best. From memory I enjoyed the meal and wasn't left hungry for more so I'm guessing the portion size was satisfactory.
To the bar side. Plenty of sport playing on the TV. Seating indoors and outside and although there appears to be plenty it generally fills up and becomes difficult to manoeuvre to and from the bar. To and from the bar is what you'll more than likely be doing a lot of in this place as the beer menu is almost never ending. Beer is what this place is all about! Beer, beer and more bloody beer. This is a good thing. Beer is good.
There are a few rippers on the menu and with such a large variety to choose from there's bound to be something for every beer lover. For the wine drinkers there are decent local reds and white wines on the menu but that's expected in Adelaide. The beer is the main act at this venue.
Expect to empty your wallet if you get comfortable as the drinks aren't cheap.
I may have given this place a higher rating but I have never left the place sober enough to give an accurate review. I do recommend for an enjoyable night with friends or a date night in the restaurant.

It's a bit of a finding at first but on reaching on a busy friday night, me and friends could get a nice place to sit outside. The cafe looks great from the inside even though the seats weren't that comfy the service made up to it. Service team, with a smile, explained through the variety of beers they had and were very friendly.
The Chilli Cheese Bites and Belgian Waffles were simply amazing but had more high hopes from the Basil Pesto which wasn't up to the mark.
Found it a slight bit pricy but then amazing time which I had with my friends over some great food and drinks...that's priceless!
Awesome night out at the Belgian Beer Cafe. First time dining in the restaurant and we have been totally impressed by the food and service!
Croquettes and bitterballen have delivered on flavour and size, chicken breast was moist and delicious. The original waffle was out of this world. Yum!! Food was not too fast so we could enjoy a nice lengthy dinner out. Husband described the food as Disneyland for his mouth 😃! Amazing friendly service from Sally and Angie.
Great place, didn't try any alcohol but ordered the confit duck burger which was a little pricey but well worth it (especially with the sweet potato chips).
Took boyfriend here for his birthday because he's a big beer fan. He loved it! Started with the beer tasting paddle & we were both impressed by the knowledge of the staff. Staff were really good the whole night. I had a Belgian cider which was tart and refreshing.
To eat I had the fish special: 'crispy skin barramundi with pesto cream farfalle'. Well it wasn't farfalle but it was still good. Fish was nicely cooked & came with a capsicum & tomato sauce. Texture was great, nutty and sweet from the red pepper. I'd have loved a sprinkling of salt on my fish.
Boyfriend had the venison. Cooked beautifully to medium rare but the meat was a bit tough. The jus was lovely and the mash really creamy. Baby carrots nice & sweet.
The atmosphere was fantastic. Because it was a (nearly) balmy spring evening the place was packed with people enjoying their evening. It was a pleasant surprise for such a chilled out place to do good restaurant food too.
miss the mussels here, is always my favorite, $30 for a 1KG !!! and comes with some free fries. come on, it always good to have some friends to share with =)
The atmosphere is amazing at this restaurant. Ive been here a few times and everytime there is always piles of people crammed into this interesting looking hub. The cuisine here is quite different from other places ive eaten. The staff are always around to answer any questions and give you a get explanation of the menu. My favourite meal was the mussels in the variety of hotpots, came to the table in a groovy way. In the a hotpot with a cone of fries on the side in a wooden holder. And a glass of beer! Yum! Only wish the table was a tad larger to fit all the plates on! Great place!
I must say, I've gone off the beer a little of late, and that is both the main draw and the main cost of this place. What is underrated perhaps is the food, and the mussels is a fantastic deal. $30 for a 1KG bucket of Mussels, a glass of Stella and a cone of chips. The other menu items are all good and it is more of a "real" restaurant in the dining area than a pub. The setting is warm and bright and it's hard not to get a little drink here in winter.
Pub prices and proportions with restaurant standards. We went because we had an entertainment card and saw that it was highly rated in urbanspoon. I was keen on fine dining, not so much pub style but we were very impressed. The place was not busy, the service was excellent, the food was delicious and generous for the quality. While it is a pub, the service and the food is restaurant quality with pub proportions and pub price. The sample of 6 Belgium beers for $12 was excellent. Happy to recommend.

Laid back, Sunday lunch. Good food. Good service. Leaving happy.
The Mussels from Brussels. Unlike Jeane Claude Van Damne this Belgian is still kicking butt with a bucket of mussels. We went in for an unusually early dinner, but given this place is open all day, not a problem. Ordered the 1kg bucket of mussels which comes with a side of fries and a beer. For $29 it's a bargain and was enough for the both of us. We did find we wanted some bread to soak up the delicious broth and paid to have some, but maybe it should come standard with the mussels. The mussels were excellent and the bucket seemed endlessly full. Service was very good and food came out promptly. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming and there was quite a few people in there. Beer selection is excellent. Not my first visit, nor my last. A great place to spend a lazy afternoon too.
Mussels need a shave.. Had some of their mussels which was in a delicious broth, but unfortunately too many of the mussels had their beards still attached, a HUGE no-no in my book.
Its great. It feels homey an i keep coming back, they have the best burgers, a full grown man will be stuffed, when ordering the chips they come with amazing mayonnaise, and its the only place that i have found kriek (a cherry beer, my favourite beer) on tap. i love the service always friendly and quick, I go there a lot
Awesome. Second visit here, service is exceptional, food is absolutely amazing and the deserts are a must have. Probably the best sausage and mash I've ever had. Atmosphere is really good, nice background music and the price is very reasonable. We will definitely be back.
Great Burger. The burger here was delicious and enough for two modest eaters. Imported pear cider : $9.90. The "taster set" of 5 x 100mls beers was delicious but expensive tho ( ~ $19.00 ? !). They do a disconcerting routine to pour your beer, involving all sorts of brushes and rinses, and they even comb off the froth with a special tool, just like in Belgium ( I don't know why), so skip this part if you're squeamish about how beer is poured :) ha ha .... Two staff were friendly, one was a bit surly on the bar when I asked if i could choose the "tasters" myself - answer : "No". The prices of beers is not advertised on a noticeboard ( as it is at other boutique pubs), so beware. Out door area is pleasant, and I guess would be kid friendly. Bike friendly, too
Really great themed pub with fun atmosphere. The food is really good and despite being a little pricey it is worth it. I'd really like to say the service was good (it was) but it was really quiet tonight (Sunday) so it wasn't like they had many other tables to attend to.
Service was quite good, I had the ravioli which was delicious, and my husband had the scotch fillet, which he devoured. Pricey, but food was excellent.
During your lunch break from work, grab the hot dog, chips and beer for $13 from the bar menu. Compare that to an $13 meal from any food court and you'll realise you're on a good thing for work lunches with mates.
Went for Saturday lunch. The meals were better than adequate though the frittes were under cooked. Wine list was above average. Service friendly. I hate being cold and it was nice and cosy. Music quite loud but I like it like that.
A favourite for mussels. We shared an order of mussels last night with a side of turkish bread. It was a great meal with great service. We both left full and satisfied. Will be going back again!
Good food, great service. Gotta try all the beers. Also go the chips!
Excellent beer selection. Great casual dining. It's all about the beer.

Been a few times now and still pleased. My wife and I dined here last night. We had the Paddestoel Mussels (served in a white wine, mushroom & garlic broth) which were great. A serve of Turkish bread allowed us to savour more of the broth.
We shared our mains. The Filet de Scotch was awesome; we ordered it medium and it was still VERY tender and flavoursome. The rosemary and confit garlic demi glaze matched the steak well and was very tasty. In truth I can not recall having a better steak anywhere before! We ordered the Croupe d' Agneau (char grilled lamb rump) med-rare. I thought it was excellent; my wife would have preferred it medium but it was my choice so med-rare it was. We didn't have dessert as we were both very full.
All the dishes were well presented. Our table did get a little crowded with all the tableware however (plates, mussel pot, lid for pot in which to put our now empty mussel shells, wooden stand for Pommes Frites (aka chips) and mayo plus water & beer) but we managed:)
The service started out good then waned a little but was fine overall. The decor is nice as you would expect. The music from the bar was conflicting with the dining room music but it was a Fri night so it was expected. One of the staff assured us that it really only gets like that on the weekend so if you prefer it to be a bit quieter and maybe more intimate avoid Fri & Sat evenings.
It's not exactly cheap however all but one main comes in at the $$$ price range of $25 to $35 and the menu is online so it really shouldn't startle anyone. If anything the staff could've been a little more attentive as it didn't seem all that busy in the dining room.
Overall I'm very happy with my experience (again) and will be taking our kids there soon to try the mussels.

Belgian Beer Cafe Oostende I headed into Rundle Street a few weeks ago with no plan on where I was going to eat that night and after browsing the menu of most of the restaurants along the street we decided that the Belgian Beer Cafe would be our pick of the evening. This cafe has a traditional Belgium theme from decor to food, and is most well known for it's huge range of speciality beers and ciders. When I first started University (and before my health issues) this pub was one I frequented for Saturday night drinks, but I had never actually eaten here. The place was really busy but they were able to get us a table in the restaurant area straight away. The waitress was really chirpy and attentive and was able to answer all of our questions about the specials and standard menu with ease. For my meal I ordered the fillet steak with blue swimmer crab cake, crispy prosciutto and jus and my friend ordered the chicken breast filled with chorizo, smoked mozzarella and basil served with saffro

The Belgian Beef Cafe has been around for over a decade. It is located on the east end of Rundle Street, entry is via the side just off Rundle Street. It is a very pleasant place to have after work drinks, or to relax and enjoy some delicious food.
Didn't even know this place existed. Nice fine,massive selection of beer. Service was good. Food good. Squid salad was on the pricey side at $27. Overall enjoyable outing

So close to that 5 star rating. I'll come back and hopefully be forced to change it haha
Walked in and first impression was wow its beautiful, large fridge with unknown drinks in them, plenty of seating, good music.
When I walked in there, I became the 2nd person in queue, and I was in that queue for maybe 5 mins. That wasn't a problem (nothing was REALLY a problem) but when I eventually ordered, I said I would love some food and drink, so I ordered my food and then the server went away, and I stood there waiting to order my drinks.
Anyway about 5 mins later I was re-served and they apologized.
But the GOOD POINTS the cherry beer! It's awesome! Give it a go! If you dont like it I bet you the person next to you does!
Smallish menu but something for everyone and I picked some brilliant food! The squid and pork belly was so well cooked, crunchy, sticky and tasty! I made such a mess and it was so worth it. Absolutely amazing prices too! My Wife and I left here after ordering an appetiser, 2 mains, 2 drinks for under $90 and we left so satisfied. Thank you for such a chilled out evening!
Great atmosphere and the food was phenomenal! For a table of ten people, all good came out in good timing and each dish looked absolutely delicious. Really decently priced, too! The beer was delicious, couldn't go there and not try something from the extensive selection. Will be back for sure!
I've been here multiple times and always a brilliant place to go. Amazing beet selection, and the spirits & cocktails are great too. Love their gin selection. If you're going to eat here their menu is amazing too! Had the steak here once & it was cooked to perfection. Really friendly staff and a good set up of places to sit and enjoy your selection of drink and food. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.
One of my favs Beer cafe in Adelaide CBD. Nice vibe and atmosphere around. Always a great feeling going to this cafe. Totally, enjoy this place!
I have been visiting Belgian Beer Cafe for a while and for a while, and it is great. Their beers are the highlight that's for sure, especially their cherry beer as it is so delicious but you really cannot have a whole big pint of it. It can get over the top so I would suggest start of their smallest serve and see what you think. The venue itself is great and has pretty crowd and vibe to it. It is always busy so make sure you either get a reservation or get their early. While I have had their food, it is not too bad just like your typical pub food.

An authentic Belgian bar in Adelaide's east end serving a wonderful selection of Belgian brews. This is one place to add to the itinerary when in Adelaide!
