    What a place! One of the nicest bar in Amsterdam center. Very characteristic and charming. Many different particular beers, I recommend triple karmerliet. Staff is very kind and funny, the guy was Italian so we could talk a bit. Prices are totally on average. Definitely recommend trying. Thanks for the experience, I’ll come back !

    A fun little hole in the wall on a rather touristy street. An impressive list of beers on draft and poured the classic way. Staff are some friendly characters. Clearly some history in here. Worth the stop, would recommend.

    (Translated by Google) Place with a special charm. Small but very well decorated and cozy. "Normal" prices for beers. I recommend it. (Original) Lugar con un encanto especial. Pequeño pero muy bien decorado y acogedor. Precios "normales" para las cervezas. Lo recomiendo.

    (Translated by Google) The place offers beautiful belgian beer, a variety of varieties and a place that will appeal to those who are familiar with beer culture. As usual, the place has a smiling face and warm employees, the place is a bit tight and its parts are very crowded. However, almost every pub in this area is already that way. The snacks are also delicious, beer is empty as a result :) (Original) Guzel belcika birasi sunan mekan, cesit cok fazla ve bira kulturune asina olanlarin ilgisini cekicek bir mekan. Her zamanki gibi guler yuzlu ve sicak calisanlara sahip, mekan biraz sikisik ve aksamlari cok kalabalik oluyor. Ancak bu bolgede hemen hemen her pub zaten bu sekilde. Atistirmaliklar da gayet lezzetli, bira bos bos icilmez sonucta :)

    Between so many bars in Amsterdam I found Cafe Belgique to be with unique character and fabulous atmosphere. So well decorated and lovely it could be only love at the first sight. Staff is just great, friendly and spontaneous. I'll be back next time. It is such a wonderful place to be.

    Small, cosy and extremely friendly place. Sit on the bar or join a table with absolutely strange people. Or even better, just chill on the outside benches with a glass of fine beer. This place is amazing by its vibrant Amsterdamish life. All of that is accompanied by a flawless Bartender who will put a smile of yer face :}

  • 5/5 Shyamal P. 1 year ago on Google
    Small but elegant and gorgeous bar. Bartender is very friendly, almost always crowded. Best part - oitode benches available to sit with bit of a heater on your back to help you with cold winds. Cycle parking is next to it. Some beautiful abstract art can be found on side walls once you enter the street. Place is easy to reach. Best to visit with couple of friends, not many, you won't get disappointed in drinks options, for sure.

    Oh hello reggae my old friend. Cafe Belgique is one of the highlights of Amsterdam, possibly the best hidden gem of the whole city. Tucked away on a side street it brightens the night, a beacon to a thirty traveller. The staff are excellent, the DJ spinning tune after tune, and the honey and ginger spirit flowed like water, as did the beer. Make your way to the best hours in the city, and feel the vibe.

    Great small bar with many different artworks going on. Every wall tells a different story. Excellent beers, spirits on offer but you'll need a few visits to have a good appreciation of the variation on offer.

  • 5/5 Leonardo A. 2 months ago on Google • 63 reviews New
    Can't really understand why I haven't rated this place 5 stars before... Maybe because I want this hidden gem to stay "hidden". People behind the counter are 20/10.

  • 5/5 Claire B. 1 year ago on Google • 57 reviews
    I had such a great time here! I love Belgian beers so going here was like a pilgrimage for me. Such a wide selection on tap and in bottles, served properly with a moody ambience. Great street art in and around too. The server was helpful in her recommendations as well.

    Splendid bar with Kwak on tap. Been here many times over the years and a trip to Amsterdam isn't complete without a visit

  • 5/5 Davide G. 3 years ago on Google
    Small, but extremely cozy brown bar in the city center! I really appreciated the wide selection of beers and the courtesy of the staff (something that you don't find so often these days). Apart from the beers they also have a very good selection of whiskeys. Will definitely come back!!

  • 5/5 mpg 5 years ago on Google
    Definitely one of the coolest Amsterdam bars I've found. Strong glass game: for every beer I've bought here they have the correct glass, and usually with the correct brewery on it. Great vibe and cool bartenders.

  • 5/5 Romulo 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place with nice beers, they have around 10/12 biers on tap from Belgium and a lot of bottles from other biers, the have a big variety of Trappist beers too. Keep in mind this is a very small cafe and if you want to grab a bier and sit inside you may need to arrive early. They accept credit cards and they also have a toilet upstairs.

  • 5/5 Dylan 5 months ago on Google
    Very cute centrally located bar, with a good selection of drinks and beers on draft. This place is super casual and very small, but is a great place to enjoy a cozy drink. They also have covered and heated seats outside in front which is a nice bonus. Service is prompt and friendly. 5/5 would come again any day.

  • 1/5 Gabriel Otto Gomes K. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I was extremely poorly attended and humiliated by a waitress with black curly hair. He even investigated our shopping bags because he thought we were stealing something. She treated everyone much less than our group, I believe she must not like foreigners. I do not recommend. In fact, I recommend that you do not step on that spot. A pity as it has good beer options. (Original) Fui extremamente mal atendido e humilhado por uma garçonete de cabelos pretos cacheados. Chegou a investigar nossas sacolas de compras por achar que estávamos roubando algo. Ela tratava todo mundo bem menos o nosso grupo, acredito que ela não deve gostar de estrangeiros. Eu não recomendo. Alias, recomendo que vocês não pisem nesse local. Uma pena pois tem boas opções de cervejas.
