    It is a very nice pub restaurant in Madinat Jumeirah. There are a lot of drinking options from beer to wine and others types beverages. Also if you go there during happy hour you can get a lot of good deals on food and beers. Traditional Belgian beers is a must to try. Chucked wings , pork ribs and fries were super tasty. Strongly recommended.

    Belgian Beer Cafe offers an exquisite dining experience with their outstanding MIX BBQ and MIX seafood options. The delectable blend of flavors in both dishes is truly commendable. Pairing this culinary delight with their selection of the best beers elevates the entire experience. The diverse range of high-quality beers enhances the dining pleasure, catering to different preferences. Moreover, the service at Belgian Beer Cafe is nothing short of exceptional. The staff's attentiveness and efficiency contribute significantly to a positive overall impression. Whether you're a food enthusiast or a beer connoisseur, this establishment provides a delightful fusion of both. Having had such a wonderful experience, I am eager to return and savor the culinary delights once again. Belgian Beer Cafe not only excels in its offerings but also ensures a memorable visit with its top-notch service. For anyone seeking a perfect combination of great food, the finest beers, and impeccable service, this is undoubtedly a must-visit spot.

    Consistency is key! That’s exactly what’s special about this place. We’ve come here several times and the food’s standards remained high and if anything, even better! Thank you Mirza for constantly being so attentive and kind! A special shout-out to the manager Ni Ni for remembering his customers and building a relationship with them! Thank you Belgian Beer Cafe Team :) I highly recommend the fried calamari and caesar salad!

    I just love the vibes at this place. It’s bustling with chatter, good beer and good mussels. I just love their Belgian Fries. The happy hours are amazing with a beer at just 35 AED. They have other offers also all weekend. Insta : niainthecity

    We were lucky to find a table outside. The problem we feel they are understaffed. So, to clean the table took time to come for order more. But they were so helpful and always smiling. We loved the beef tartar as well as always the musels, which keeps us coming back to this place

    A cool spot to come together with family and friends. The menu boasts a wide variety of options, including an assortment of beers, spirits, and delicious food. The staff is both professional and accommodating. Recommended ✅

    Food serving size is good for sharing and affordable beer promo. The service was OK but not a wow. Ambiance was actually good with a live DJ and crowd was also OK. Overall experience was OK. Will I return, most likely, but will order a little less on the food as it was really a good service size for sharing and could really finish it.

    I reserved for the balcony a day before. Because it gets very crowded since the weather is good. It was ladies' night so me and my friend and I got 3 free drinks each. Men ordered! Very few waiters for such a busy spot. We ended up waiting 5-10 minutes for each order! We followed up for half an hour for a fries, asked 3 different waiters, and it came when we were kinda leaving there!

    Such a good experience at the iconic place in Dubai. Delicious food, good choice of beer. Amazing service. Thank you Sherry for a detailed explanation of the menu and help in choosing beer.

    The food is excellent! The best beer to try-Leffé ( it’s the only place where is very fresh) . They often have happy hours and other offers. The atmosphere is great !

  • 2/5 NURA ADELA Z. 7 months ago on Google
    Very nice vibes... Girls night with 3 drinks for free... Enjoy the Belgian beer not the free drinks 🍺 Belgian fries is a must 🍟

    I like the beer in this place , the muscles were nice but felt the portions were significantly small ! I ordered the Marine zoo meal and it was half what I was expecting! The shrimps plate featured 6 tiger strips in the photo and we got only 4 when the dish arrived and they were far from Tiger prawns size! I guess this place is nice to hang out with friends to grab a bear but won’t say it’s the best when it comes to food!

    I’ve been here multiple times cause I like the place, I think they get the basics right. Service is good, ambience is usually great whether you sit indoors or outdoors and their menu is well-balanced. They run happy hour events during early evening hours so look out for those. The food we ordered this time was well presented and tasty, however the waffle was disappointing. Not enough chocolate syrup and the waffle dough itself wasn’t cooked properly. Pro tip: avoid during weekends as it can get extremely busy and noisy (indoors).

    This is hard as the the restaurant exceptionally clean and well presented and the food was delicious. The buratta salad and onion soup starters were so tasty. Then steaks for main which were cooked perfectly but brought out and placed on the table when starters were not finished. Unfortunately the staff were hit and miss with service, we were not told how to view the menu on sitting down and felt very rushed when ordering. The service was intermittent and we had to catch the staff to be able to ask for more drinks, and it was 40 minutes between ordering my husband's drink and then them asking if we wanted more. The staff were not attentive and unfortunately seemed unhappy to be there. It's a shame as the food is fantastic, couldn't fault it but the service was lacking.

    Perfect spot to enjoy the cold weather and the Burj Al Arab view is amazing. Good spot for pork lovers, their platter with ribs is excellent 👌🏻. We went there during Christmas Day and checked the Christmas village which was amazing but crowded. See for yourself! 😉

  • 5/5 Juan Carlos V. 8 months ago on Google
    Very nice place with a variety of food. Try the BBQ pork ribs really tasty. You'll find discounts on food and drinks during the week, check out their website.

    I did not expect the food would actually be good since it’s a bar, but honestly I was pleasantly surprised! I would highly recommend to come here for some good food and drinks 😋

  • 5/5 Camille R. 1 year ago on Google
    I really love their Pork Ribs. It’s so tender and the sauce is very nice. Ambiance is very nice also specially the balcony area.

    Belgian Beer Cafe Souq Madinat stands out as a top-notch Belgian cafe, offering a delightful combination of delectable cuisine, exceptional service, and an ambiance that truly sets the stage for an extraordinary experience.

  • 4/5 Jittraporn L. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice bar good service. The restaurant have non smoking area but not really separate. The food is a bit slow but worth waiting. You can chill out and sip the drink while waiting.

  • 5/5 Valeria M. 2 years ago on Google
    I was surprised to try really good food there . I can say better food than in some restaurants. Next time you go for a beer to Belgian cafe , leave some space for an amazing dinner . My favorite dish is lobster (I asked to serve it with vegetables and salad.) mmm, delicious! We had also beef tenderloin. Great cafe bar for meetings with friends and for watching football matches. Check the outdoor table out and meet the amazing sunset !

  • 5/5 Aleksa C. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is extraordinary, very nice, fish and chips is very crunchy, salad is fresh, avocado salad was very nicely balanced, mashed potatoes are very good. While you are waiting for food they bring you pastries and butter; pastries are fresh and warm but just average, we expected more from Belgian pastries. Service is super, they are very nice. View from the balcony is beautiful. Mocktail with coconut was extraordinary.

    Great place to chill, unwind and get together. Being located within Souk Madinat is the added delight for residents and tourists, Anything and everything here is very good, be it the drinks, service, food or ambience. Few of their dishes are unique and relishing.

  • 4/5 German K. 1 year ago on Google
    We went to Belgian Beer for lunch, and it was a pretty nice experience. -the interior is spacious, with many Belgian posters on the walls, the bar is very large and takes 2 members of staff to operate. -the exterior fits with the Souk Madinat Jumeirah, as it is a terrace with a view on the waterway and sea. -the food portions were good in most cases, but some food had smaller portions that I would have expected (for example, pork ribs and mussels both had good portion sizes, while the mixed seafood’s portion was a bit stingy) -the place also has a good variety of both bottled and draft beer, as well as a small wind selection. -the prices in the place are very good, because all of the food is tasty and totally worth trying for this price. The place also has entertainer, which we used. However, there were 2 major issues: the flies, as the cafe used smoke to scare them away, and it is hard to breathe, especially if there is a breeze on the terrace; and if you choose to sit without the smokers, the flies will drive you insane after about 30 minutes. The second problem is the seagulls, they are very noisy and not humble when it comes to asking for scraps, which can make it very annoying to eat outside. Otherwise, it was a really enjoyable experience!!

    we had burrata, mushroom risotto, n steak ( medium rare which was Amazing ). i loved the vibe more than anything, couldn’t stop dancing :3 hehe. fyi its always crowded so id recommend booking a table xx

  • 4/5 Liam C. 1 year ago on Google
    Belgian Beer Cafe is one of the 'pubs' you would expect from the Madinat Jumeirah hotel. It is a chain but the advantage of this outlet (vs its peers) is the outside dining area for those cooler winter months. The service is good with lots of servers floating around. The food is good but not high end or fancy; it's in that casual dining, pub, comfort food lane. Pork is available (another stand out). I cannot speak to the beer as I am not a beer drinker.
