This beer cafe is awesome. Such a great selection of Belgian beers. The service is amazing and couldn't get any better. I loved this place and visited many times whilst I was in the area.

I really love to come here and find out what special beers they have on tap.
Went Friday night and had the Laefte (sp?). Came in this huge chalice and tasted damn fine.
Looking forward to going back for this one.

Oh it's still yummy.
I started the 100 beer list. Yup. You read that one right. 100 beers. It's going to take a while, but if you like variety...

We've popped in here for a drink on a number of occasions, but finally got the chance to eat here on the weekend. They are know for their mussels and that's what I was coming to try. Mussels in white wine.... very average. There was so much liquid, no bread, not a lot of flavour - sure the white wine and garlic was super prominent, but that was it. The chips were presented beautifully, but were soft and luke warm. Pretty disappointed.

Approximate cost: $29

Still yummy and they still have the hot dog and Stella deal. The hot dog has changed; they use a brioche bun now and it comes with onion rings. It's different.
Also, it's gone up in price. It's around $16 now. So although it has become dearer, the item has changed enough to validate the increase. Still worth the eat.

Approximate cost: $avg

I had an amazing lamb rump thing here with some pretty fabulous sides. I can't recommend the beers because I don't drink beer, ironically. The vegetables were perfection and the service was good. It is a bit pricey though, and with some amazing restaurants situated round the corner on Rundle street, I kind of feel like maybe this place could get lost in the fray.

On the other hand, it does serve some amazing beers - which puts them above the rest if, you know, you drink beer.

I love the hot dog here and the huge chalice of beer that comes with it. There are large glasses for other beers too and these are definitely worth your time.
This place is now always going to be one of my first choices for a drinking hole in the city.

My husband had a day off this week so we thought we would try out this interesting Belgian pub. They have over 40 different beers to choose from, my husband tried a few and really enjoyed them. A very spacious dining area, you can eat outside aswell. My husband ordered mussels which came with pommes frites and mayonnaise. I thought fries and mayonnaise seemed like a strange combination to have with mussels. My husband said they were some of the best mussels he had ever tasted. I had some swiss croquettes which was served with some delicious chutneys. Yummo! They had an entree which was fries and mayonnaise, I tried my husbands, the home-made mayonnaise was quite delicious, but not with fries. Excellent service and a very interesting menu, delicious but expensive, the same with the beers - quite expensive. But it was a great, different, interesting experience compared to other pubs. Very pleasant atmosphere, we enjoyed ourselves and definitely recommend.

Approximate cost: $35+

I used to go there often with colleagues on Friday after work. It's a nice pub located in a convenient but quite back street. They have special European beers on the tap and the taste is proper. The only thing stops me from going back often is the price. The drinks are quite pricey which kind of stopped me from enjoying myself after 2 drinks…

Approximate cost: $40

One of the best places to get beer in the city in Adelaide. Such a good variety and at fairly decent prices considering both the quality and alcohol content! The food is also very good and worth booking in for.

Approximate cost: $20-25

I came here with a large group of people for a birthday celebration. Although I don't drink, I noticed they had some very unique and popular beers. I loved the decor and huge number of seating, both inside and outside. They also serve up some very special chips, a must try with a bunch of friends!

I haven't eaten here, there's only one thing I go for and that's the beer! While I tend to try and support micro breweries and boutique Australian beers, I can't go past getting a Leffe Blonde on tap. You obviously have to pay for this treat. The bar tenders also know their beers, which gets you trying new things, it's good going to a bar that has a different selection of beers.

Interesting spot to visit and enjoy some beers from all over the world. Good for getting together with a group. Was surprised I enjoyed so much as normally a wine drinker

The atmosphere is amazing, almost as good as their beers! Not being much of a beer drinker, I thought I would take visiting family there who prided themselves on their beer knowledge. They were not disappointed and neither was I. I thought with such a range I would find something to my liking and thoroughly enjoyed the floris apple. It was a fun evening and I will be taking guests there again when ever I have the excuse!

The general atmosphere is incredibly warm and jovial, and the architecture of the building and the surrounding brickwork almost make it feel like you're somewhere in Europe. Overall a great little place for the beer enthusiast.The meals are good, pub style.

Love the assorted beers on tap and how they have their own special way of serving each of them. Also really enjoyed our meals here. They have great chips and mussels, for which they are famous, but also many other delicious morsels on the menu to try. Staff are always friendly.

Very nice food, but can be costly. Good range of beers - some are strange, which makes it fun, as you try all the different ones you've never even heard of.

I am not a beer drinker so I am proof you can still have a great experience at a place like this! I loved the fruit beers (eg peach or strawberry), the strawberry one tasted like cordial; ok, they are a bit pricey but well worth it as where else would you buy them? I went to Belgium in 1988 and, at that time, they had 203 varieties of beer; they now have almost double that. The cafe also has a huge range of wines so if you're not a beer-drinker, you won't be thirsty.

LOVE this place. So much character and German culture packed into it! They have an absolutely amazing amount of beers, bottled and on Tap. Some brews can get a little pricey, but they're not the type of Beers you drink everyday.

Belgian Beer Cafe - just hearing the name makes my wallet feel lighter! They have a delicious range of international beers, and even the glasses are exquisite (so good in fact that for some of them, you have to leave ID at the bar to ensure you don't steal them!). Prices are extremely high, with some beers costing almost $20 for a pint - lucky I'm not really a fan of bee! They make a nice cone of chips too :P

This is a great pub with a great range of drinks and good food. Prices can be a bit high being a specialty pub but the fun atmosphere makes up for it. The staff are always knowledgable and friendy :)

I was disappointed with the service when we visited this restaurant as we waited a long time for our meals to be served, and the restaurant was not even full. The food, when it arrived was good, but the meal serves were small and we had to order more as we were still hungry. Their desserts are wonderful though.

One of my favourite restuarant! whenever someone from interstate or overseas visits me, this is the few places i must bring them to. MUST try: MUSSELS esp the mushroom Mussels! Comes in a big BARREL! Great for those big eaters! Comes with chips and the price is reasonable for its quality and portion! RECOMMENDED HIGHLY!
