Came here on a Monday night, not full house but still a lot of people. The service and atmosphere was fantastic. We recommend the pork belly, pork ribs, crispy salmon and chicken parmy. Calamari was done very well but just a little too salty for my liking. The lamb cutlet was well marinated but a bit too charred. The 1kg hickory bbq sauce chicken wings were good.
Dined here with a friend a few weeks back. Booked through the fork and received 50% off the food which was fantastic. I had the lamb shank which was one of the specials of the day. Enjoyed with a pint of hoegaarden.
Very crowded when we called in for a casual meal after the movies. Despite the busy atmosphere the food came out super fast: s&p calamari, Belgian frites and the pasta of the day. All delicious. Lots of German beers on tap and specials like $15 steaks on Thursdays. The main front room was very hot, no air con only ceiling fans, but out the back and in the separate back bar it was cooler.
Good atmosphere for an after work bite to eat. Nice variety of beer- ranging from local craft to imports. Enjoyed the platters to share - excellent sausage and bread combos.
Surprisingly tasty food late on a Saturday evening. My friend had the steak sandwich and raved about it too. Service was quick and efficient.
An excellent spot! Very friendly and helpful staff, good prices and cute little tables outside in the sun. My "chicken sandwich" exceeded expectations - loaded with bacon, cheese, salad on rye and a huge pile of hot fluffy chips and even a side dipping sauce. I used my entertainment book without issues at all. The serving was generous, arrived promptly and with a smile - my friend's steak sandwich was equally impressive. Very happy with this spot, definiteky great if you're hungry and a good range of drinks at reasonable prices. They also have some great specials on some days and I felt very welcomed here. I'll definitely be back!
A great pub with local brews and European brews... Didn't try any of the food here, but the beers were good. The staff were okay. There's also outdoor seating in the front of the building, a perfect place to sip your beer on a hot day or a cool night.

Yummy wholesome Belgian food and Belgian beer - have to try the Kriek Cherry Beer. Jb loves the muscles mule marinière (not pictured) and it's one of the few places where you can unashamedly have fries with any meal of the day & they are good! Other standout dishes were the baked Camembert and the croquettes.
We had lunch here today, unfortunately no cherry beer on tap 😓, but we still enjoyed some tasty wheat beers. I ordered the vege stack, which was very tasty but not healthy as a big part of it is a giant deep-fried potato pattie (flavours were fantastic though!). The service was really good and the outdoor area is lovely and light, but with sun/wind/rain Protection. Ideal really!
Arrived the CBD in a hot summer day ! Looking for something to drink and tapas to eat in the afternoon tea time. Attracted by this Belgian Beer Cafe as we wanted to try different beer for a long time. They also offer some snacks food on the menu (also regular menu food available but we didn't need a steak or full plate of fish and chips at that time !) Thus the beer wings were just right ! We sat outdoor along the street. Light breeze and the beer were just stunning ! Good service during ordering too.

Perfectly organised and well executed event in a gorgeous room!
I recently organised my sons 21st birthday party to be held at The Belgian Beer Café in their Le Roi Function Room.
From my first enquiry my questions were answered quickly and accurately by Callum the assistant manager, then by Kelsey the bar manager and subsequently by all the other staff members that I spoke with through the organising and finalising of the event.
I am pleased to say that everything went ahead without any hitches and we had an amazing night. The room looked beautiful with the open fire roaring away, candles scattered throughout the room and dimmed lighting throughout which was absolutely perfect for our cocktail event.
The furniture was arranged in such a way that there was seating if required and plenty of room for mingling and dancing too. The nice comfy chesterfield style couches and chair settings offer a stylish difference to most function rooms.
The thing to me that also added a great amount of value is the staff, each and everyone that we dealt with were nothing short of wonderful, they were extremely adaptable and helpful in every way from the managers, to the bar staff and the door men. The managers were happy to offer advice and made it clear that they were very flexible with everything from the room setup to food and they also made sure that the bar staff could make cocktails for anyone that wanted them (even though they are not generally on the menu)
The two bar staff we had on the night (Jono and Alex) were brilliant, working away hard all night they didn’t keep anyone waiting and were also extremely helpful with the setup of projectors, microphones and sound equipment.
The food that we ordered was also lovely, unsure exactly what to order we took the advice of the team and ordered several food platters that came out staggered throughout the evening, we had good feedback from the party goers and was really happy with everything we ordered.
So all up I can highly recommend the Le Roi Function room for your party, incidentally there is no charge for the room hire but rather a requirement to order few platters, which in my opinion was amazing value.
Thanks again to all the team that made my sons 21st a fun and memorable one☺
The beer selection at this place was awesome. The guy at the bar was really nice and helped me decide which one I would enjoy the most. He also gave me a few tastings. The ambiance looks very european. I didnt order any food but will definitely visit the place again.
Walked into this place looking for a pint after a day's work and this did not disappoint. A very European looking place that seems to have strived to maintain its heritage look and serves a range of Belgian beers and wines. We pulled a couple of pints and had some sides. While the beers were perfect, the sides could've been better. Nice evening overall.
Love the beer selection! Was ecstatic to find one of my favourites (small ale) on tap. Staff are very friendly and know their stuff. After a few pints & a schooner of cheery flavoured beer (delicious), I opted for the steak sandwich and pork belly bites. Not too pricey, good standard pub food :) love the atmosphere will definitely be back.
Big place, very very very friendly staff members and knowledgeable about beers, brewed their own apparently down in freO. Food looked good but haven't tried it yet and not pricy. Was just really fond of the beers !
Meals are pretty big so it's pretty good value, particularly with the Entertainment Book voucher. Food isn't amazing but it's good pub food. The beer options are very interesting but read the prices carefully, I got caught out unfortunately and ended up paying $16.20 for a small bottle of peach flavoured beer :( it was delicious but still...
The restaurant service is odd, a bit abrupt. But the bar staff are good.
Unfortunately sitting out the back in the courtyard which looked really nice wasn't an option for us because the smoke smell was horrible.
good value for money, great service, good food - all you want from a pub meal. it's not amazing food don't get me wrong - but it's good pub food in the middle of the city. Love the interior, the menu and the service. Went in last week to get a tea and they gave us free scones with cream and jam! the scones weren't amazing but it was nice to feel looked after. great service and very unexpected. they're mussels are delicious. keep it going guys (if you improve the food a bit you could be onto a real winner) :)
We were very impressed great location and extensive selection of foreign beer, came in a large group everyone ate and was very happy. Next time we all catch up in the city it will definetly be here
Great service, food and drinks! Every visit without fail ;)

Great Lunch. After some shopping with the wife we decided to have lunch here.
We had 12 oysters natural and the seafood platter which comes with crusty bread and dip, calamari, crumbed fish, skewered king prawns salad and assorted dipping sauces.
The wait time was about 25 minutes and the oysters were presented on a tray of salt with lemon wedges...very nice, and tasted fresh which was the main thing.
The platter was once again presented nicely and all the food was delicious. We both ordered the Cape Howe Margaret River Chardonnay which matched perfectly with the seafood.
I was very surprised when I saw the rating of this place and other reviews. All I can say is our experience here was a good one and we are likely to return again.
Haiku review. Good food, atmosphere
Beer options great, with cherry
Service levels meh
AWESOME FOOD. Best quality food!!! Its a great place to eat and drink out with friends! Service is great with good staff and food is served in a timely manner...
The seafood platter is simply divine...
Awesome. Just seeing it, makes your mouth water and makes you wana grab a bite! The food is excellent. Service is top notch! Compared to Jamie Oliver, i prefer Belgian Beer Cafe! These people are humble, simple but great in their job, their food preparation!
Highly recommended people!
Awesome Food. Only a glance on the food at Belgian Beer Cafe make you want to have a bite. The food attracts you instantly and needless to say that the food is completely delicious. I've never eat calamari rings tasting so good. The food there never disappoint me. It is awesome and delicious. And what made is more interesting is that the staff greeted me and my friends with smiles as warm as the food they serve there. I know certainly i'll be returning soon.
AWESOME!. This place is really special. I love the variety and the service. I had a wonderful time. The food taste excellent...much much better than Jamie Oliver resto. (sorry Jamie Oliver)
Great food. I had the best mussels in WA. It was a tintin mussels with coconut and lemongrass. LOved it!!!!
For Beer lovers. You don't come here to eat...you come here to drink! Beer, Beer, Beer. Great spot for after work drinks!
Great Beer venue. The Belgian beer Café has a great range of beer bottles, the beers on tap are great too, not cheap, but I guess it's what happen when you live In one of the most expensive city in the world, They have Chimay White on Tap!!!
Great list of specials, the food is much better than it used to be! way to go!
Nice beer and great food. Great place to chill on Sunday.
Beautiful food. I had a crispy skinned salmon which was covered in a sesame crisp coating, served with asparagus, lemon butter sauce, and soft crispy potatoes. It was a good size, actually, I couldn't fit the potatoes in! The drinks originally got lost somewhere on the way to the table but when I told them we had been waiting a while the drinks turned up promptly. Waiters very friendly and accommodating, especially the host that was on on Wednesday night.
Decided to try out this place after being told that there would be a 2 hour wait for Jamie's. My partner and I ordered the garlic bread for starters, followed by steak topped off with belgian waffles. It was accompanied by 2 massive pints of hoegaardens. The food is a little overpriced but the quality isn't too bad. Definitely worth visiting for the drinks :) I recommend sitting in the garden, very quaint indeed!
Great food!!!!. I had the rabbit special the other night. It was simply divine!!!!!
Had a great meal here on Saturday night. There were 5 of us and every meal was perfect! Service was great and food and beer came to our table in a timely manner.. Great start to out Saturday night!
Great pub. Beer is great and the food it also of a high quality. Service could be a bit better at times but over all a great place to eat and drink out
Great place to eat, always get the tasting plate, with cherry lambic. Yum!

Went there for a business dinner with some guests from the US .. After reading the reports on here my expectations were low and as per the reviews the service was a let down it took as a good 15 mins to get the beer menu only for the waitress to fall of the face of the earth she returned a good 20mins later to finally take our orders .. I ordered the rump steak .. I like my steak medium rare but I know from experience to order the rare as it is always slighty over cooked at most restaurants .. The food did take it's time but the beer service got much better after ordering.. Once the meal came I was quiet impressed by the size of the serving the steak was smelling great and looked fabulous ... Best part was it tasted great the steak had a red wine glaze sauce and that was fantastic especially when it coated the ample stack of chips .. It came with a small bowl of coleslaw that was creamy and crunchy ... Over all I really enjoyed my meal .. The wait staff need to be a bit more attentive and also watch the way they address the customers as they do come across as disinterested and rude from time to time .. The food top shelf the service Hrmmm in the end I'll go back again because let's be honest it's the food that is the deal breaker
Good Pub. The belgium is a good pub with great beers on tap, nice food and reasonable service. Prices are fairly consistent with the rest of the places on the same street. Had the Garlic Prawns and the spiced lamb fillet, both of which were very nice.
Fun times. Belgian Beer Cafe is great for all occasions - a sort of pub, restaurant and alfresco all rolled into one, it has tons of space and is never too noisy in the pub section or too quiet in the restaurant section. We are regulars for dinner on Sunday nights and the portions are always well sized, reasonable prices and good quality ingredients. There is just enough range to choose from off the menu, and staff are always professional and friendly. Try to sit near the windows to get a view of the street to look at people walking by, and order the 'plat belge' with a glass of beer - you won't be disappointed!
Great place. had chilli tiger prawns soo yummy. The second waitress with the tattoos was wondercul. however the asian woman who seated us was very unfriendly .. but thats the only bad thing. good vibe.
Belgian beer cafe is always too crowded on Friday nights for dinner but if you go on a weeknight its a decent place to eat. I generally order a steak which is always good value and you can't fault their gourmet hamburger or steak sandwich. even better if you can get a window seat in the dining room and relax with a drink and watch the world walk by. definitely one of our regular haunts.
A bit noisy, but cheerfully so. Good food and generally good and friendly service.
Went there for Sunday lunch. Food and service was excellent. I and the 2 other people who were with me would have no problems going back again.
EDIT:. Went back after quiet some time and my original review still stands. The staff and service were fantastic. food and drinks came out very quickly but one part of my meal left me wanting a bit more. Ordered Salt and pepper squid, chorizo, belgium waffles and a coffee. Well cooked and tasty and well priced for what I received with the exception of the waffles. Everything that came with the waffles was great but the waffles themselves were a disappointment. To be honest I really think they were not fresh. I think they were the frozen, supermarket variety. Very bland and none of the crispness you'd expect from something freshly cooked. SO long story short give the waffles a miss. Other than that have at it. You won't be disappointed.
No complaints. Sitting outside during the middle of the week, we could not complain about the food or the service. Our table was cleared regularly and orders taken promptly for food.
On previous visits, pomme frites were always the choice for a light nibble, however with a decidedly larger appetite this time round, only something more substantial would satisfy. So after thorough perusal of the menu we ordered the risotto - neither over nor undercooked, it was delightful and full of flavour - the perfect stomach liner for an afternoon of beers. Getting peckish again later on, the seafood chowder made for a warming and tasty soup to round off a fantastic day with many a glass of Leffe Blonde.
Hard to fault. Excellent beer, excellent food, bit too busy/noisy ideally for my liking, but otherwise I just wish I could afford the prices a bit more often.
Awesome. This place is great!
Went here for lunch and has mussels and oysters. They were delicious!
Had a couple of my favourite belgium beers.
And yes the beers might be more expensive that your average beer but you have to expect this.
Highly recommended, will defiantly be back :)
Food was lovely.. I had the pork belly- cooked wonderfully and my bf had the veg salad- great flavors, very nice.. Definetly be back.. :-)
Weird. I like my beer cold and served in a glass even colder.

Love it!. Love the selection of beers and service was good, bit pricey but id expect that with all the imported beers

Great drinks and food. We come here fairly often, as my bfs fave beer is hoegaarden and on mondays they have it cheaper. We went there on friday evening and shared a tasting place and a few drinks. The tasting plate changes regularly, this time we had smoked salmon with a minty salsa verde style sauce, 2 spicy battered prawns, sausages in a creamy mushroom sauce, lamb kofta with yoghurt, turkish bread and a red pepper dip.
I enjoyed all of it, though the salmon was very mild. The sausage in the creamy mushroom sauce ws ok, the sausage had been boiled rather than grilled and the sauce was quite thin, but tasty (it would have benefited from being reduced further). The lamb kofta was nice as was the yoghurt that went with it. Prawns were great, lucky my bf doesnt like them much! the turkish bread wasnt toasted which was a shame, but the dip was really tasty and we had plenty of it.
The beers are great but theres no surprise really. half a litre of stella for $9.50 is a total bargain in anyones book. The Staessen Pear cider is really nice and my drink of choice when I go there :)
The menu is pricey, but the tasting plate ($25) and a serve of chips ($8) fed us nicely. The service was good, and it was really busy but the staff all knew what they were doing and were happy to go out of their way for you.
Definately going back again!
Beer Heaven!. The Belgian Beer Cafe simply is a great place for food and a couple of beers.
Certainly isn't the cheapest place, but everytime I have dined here the quality of the food and service has been through the roof.
Love it!
7 of us went for my birthday dinner. Arrived at 7pm on a Thursday night and it was quite busy. The girl on the front tried to turn us away immediately and I had to cut her off to tell her we have a booking. She was quite abrubt and looked hassled. The beer was great, as you would expect and I enjoyed the Belgium tasting plate, although there was not enough Turkish bread to go with the amazing carrot and Ginger dip. I had a prawn linguini which was nice but very garlicy, which I don't mind.

Pretty Good. The beer selection can't really be faulted, prices are fair and the barstaff are nice and know their product. Which is especially handy for me, as when I am confronted with too many choices, I tend to just ask staff what they would drink. So far this system hasn't let me down at the Belgian.
Food-wise, it's decent. I'd say it's among the best places to go in the state for mussels, simply because the turnover on the little black shellfish is so high, you're guaranteed a fresher mussel here than just about anywhere else around. The Moules Marinere is a definate winner, although the chilli mussels are probably a better choice for the less adventurous.
I haven't chanced going here on a bust night yet, so I can't confirm or deny horror-stories of long waits and ignorant employees, but whenever I have eaten here service has been perfectly reasonable. Prompt and efficient, if somewhat aloof. But then they aren't paid to be your best friend, as long as you get what you want when you want, can't really complain.
Great beers... Food here is so so... but its a great hangout place after work
Beer = good Food = not so much. The (albeit overpriced) beers are consistently good, and there is generally a nice atmosphere. However, the service in the 'restaurant' section is very poor, and last time we tried to dine there we left after 20 minutes of being ignored (we weren't even given a menu).
Pretty much what it says on the tin.... Yep it sells Belgium beer, and serves it pretty well, good venue, wait times to get served at the bar can be a pain at peak times.

The reason you go is for the beer, but the food is far from ancillary. Great atmosphere, good location and prompt and curteous service.
Overall, I had a wonderful time at the Belgian Beer Café and would recommend it for group lunches in the city.
There’s plenty to choose from on the menu with a range of price points. I enjoyed my steak sandwich but the bread was a little too toasted for my liking. The portion of gristle along one side of the steak was a little disappointing but the flavours were quite good and so too the chips. Not a bad meal for the price but one can have a tastier meal at other venues. The surrounds are pleasant if you are interested in heading down here.
This place hosted our social Halloween Party again, and they didn't disappoint!
They decorated, they dressed up and they cooperated with us throughout the night. The staff were absolutely amazing and deserve a medal for their hard work!!
First time there nice relaxed venue a few different areas would go back
This place is an institution. It’s been around in the heart of Northbridge since I can remember and was around for years before I ever set foot in it. Live bands plying all the current hits and oldies you love every night. Great drinks and pub grub. If you’re looking for a fun uncomplicated night this is the spot. Ask for Jason he’d love to say hi.
IMO Universal is possibly the best live music late night bars in the city..30+ years on and still as popular as ever. Kudos to the management for hiring attentive, friendly and customer centric bar staff and security. The kicker was listening to quality live music - great band and range of covers. Keep up the great work!
Beer is good and excellent service.
Great live venue, and amazing DJ on Saturday night. 🎶🎶
Great live band. Great atmosphere. Needs electric scooter lock racks. But awesome joint.
Nice fast service with good food specials each day. Good experience with friendly staff
