    It was one of those Belgian hazy daze that we were hoping for 6 years in the making. Now called The Belgian, aptly titled as we call my mom this. It lived up to it's predecessors and more. New owners and a wider variety of Belgian beers made this our govto on our last day in Germany's. So happy with the service and ambience on the day meant we stayed way longer tasting a variety of Belgian beers and eatery. Sankhi, our host, was awesome, light-hearted and fun. Everything was freshly cooked , beers cold and accompanied by their respective glasses, which is super important when having a Belgian beer. We were in awe of the atmosphere with a mime, pianist and local kids dancing.

    Was looking for a waffle spot in Hermanus and decided to give Belgian a try. We tried the mexican waffle and the cinnamon apple waffle and both were delicious. The creme fraiche on the mexican waffle is a little too creamy for my liking, but the flavour of the black bean chilli con carne was great! I'm also so glad that the stewed apple was actually stewed, honestly a great combo. The waffles are also the perfect size to not be overfilling and heavy. Will definitely return for a waffle or two 👌🏽 The waiters were great, we were seated in seconds and even though they were quite busy, service wasn't inconveniently slow or haphazard. Overall, a good experience!

    The menu features an array of options, ranging from sweet to savoury. The waffles sound and look delicious, however, they don’t taste extraordinary. For the price and aesthetic appeal, I expected more from the flavour. The chocolate mousse on the Top Deck Waffle tasted artificial and someone at the table described the waffles as tasting “industrial”. The ice cream and chocolate drops on the waffle, though, were divine. Our waitress was also very unfriendly and uncommunicative and brought with her a negative aura. The view, on the other hand, is very beautiful and you can clearly see the ocean from the restaurant. The people who ordered Fritkots also thoroughly enjoyed their meal.

    Horrible experience. The waiter is absolutely rude and unfriendly and ruined the whole experience. The waffles and food are overrated and tasteless. They specialise in belgian food but the beligian waffles were absolutely burnt and made with horrible and cheap toppings. I do not recommend this place. Edit: I have spoken to the management at the restaurant and voiced my concerns already. It was not dealt with. You are in a business learn to take constructive criticism. Just as you have good reviews, you have bad reviews too. As I have stated, overated and expensive. You can get better waffles anywhere else. Also, it wasn't the first time I have eaten at your restaurant so I have a right to inform people about the quality here. You state that you stand by your brands and by your standards, maybe you need to take more interest and pay attention to what happens at your restaurants. What I have stated in my reviews is nothing new as you can clearly read that other people have experienced also. Also, a personal vendetta?? Yeah, because giving a review would solve that. I am not hiding as i have already spoken to management in person. Have a good day.

    A tiny place with waffles any which way you can imagine. And a fridge filled with a wide variety of delicious Belgian beers. Service might be a little slow when they get busy but everything is freshly made so well worth the wait. Next time I'm ordering off the kiddies menu because they smiley faces, smarties and balloons all over their waffles.

    Waffle lover?? This is the place to be Pleasantly surprised by the quality and speed of service and food. Some good coffee, but the waffles are another story. Delicious fluffy waffles with a slight crisp on the outside. We opted for the fried chicken and maple syrup. I would give it a solid 9/10. The chicken was crispy, tender and juicy and had a nice saltines to it. Paired with the maple syrup and waffles, it was a well balanced dish of sweet, savoury, crispy and soft. Everything you need for a long day ahead. I would 100% recommend this for a breakfast or lunch spot. Give it a try

    The waffles, milkshakes, and beer were an absolute delight – a harmonious blend of delectable flavors. The waffles were a culinary masterpiece, perfectly cooked with a delightful balance of crispiness on the outside and a fluffy interior. Each bite was a heavenly experience, leaving a symphony of flavors on the taste buds. The milkshakes were a true indulgence, with a rich and creamy texture that made every sip a delightful journey through a spectrum of delightful tastes. They were the perfect complement to the waffles, creating a gastronomic symphony that was simply unforgettable. As for the beer, it was a refreshing and well-curated selection, enhancing the overall dining experience. The choice of brews added an extra layer of enjoyment, making it an ideal pairing with the waffles and milkshakes. The atmosphere of the establishment was equally impressive. The cozy ambiance, with its warm and inviting decor, provided the perfect setting for a memorable dining experience. It was a place where comfort and style converged, creating an atmosphere that encouraged relaxation and conviviality. The service was impeccable, with the staff exhibiting a remarkable level of attentiveness and professionalism. Their knowledge of the menu, along with their genuine enthusiasm to make our dining experience exceptional, was truly commendable. They ensured that we felt welcomed and well taken care of throughout our visit. In summary, the super delicious waffles, milkshakes, and beer at this establishment, coupled with the inviting atmosphere and top-notch service, made for a truly outstanding dining experience that I wholeheartedly recommend to all.

    We loved their amazing selection of waffles. They were also surprisingly child friendly and offered coloring for the kids. Will definitely visit them again...Yum!

    I’m not going to dispute that the food, waffles and milkshakes are good. The staff and especially the manager was shockingly uninterested and unprofessional. Our table and the one behind us were ignored, despite runners, waiters and the manager walking past us multiple times. Nobody greeted us at the door and we had to wait a long time just to receive menus. When it was time to pay, we had to go to the front and get the manager’s attention. When we asked to pay he just looked at us funny… The indoor seating is also very cramped and small. Seems as though the indoor seated customers are ignored while the outdoor customers are preferenced. Not a good spot for rainy weather. I would not go back purely because of the poor service. It’s a pity as all the food items really looked fantastic. Maybe the owner should have take a visit. And rethink the manager they’ve hired.

    People are awesome. Making each experience really nice. The milkshakes are to die for and make a good pairing for the amazing Belgian waffles.

    If you want to visit for breakfast, lunch or just drinks, I can recommend the Belgian Waffles, Beer & Burgers restaurant. It is conveniently located in the center of tourist activities in Hermanus and has a beautiful view of the ocean. We visited for breakfast and although they have a variety of waffles (sweet and savoury) they also have your standard bacon and eggs options if you prefer that. One of the things I love is their selection of Belgian beers with my favorite one being the Kwak. It is a heavy yet flavorful beer and is served in a very unique glass. They also follow the tradition of you having to hand in one of your shoes as collateral for the glass and once you are done you get your shoe back, which is always a fun conversation starter. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed.

    Every visit to Hermanus has to include waffles at Belgian Waffles, Beer and Burgers. It is an imperative insisted on by the family. On this visit we discovered that the ownership has changed, but the good service, and good waffles are still the same. Definitely worth a visit.

    The Belgian Waffle in Hermanus is going downhill. Eat there today, the service was poor the male waiter really did not care very much. Waited for more than 10 minutes just for our menus. He was sitting on the edge of our table facing the table next to the to us chatting away though he was fully aware of us. Then we order a flat white coffee and received a cappuccino. Waited for our food for 3/4 hour, he did not once came to us to make sure we are okay. When we eventually got his attention our food was cold. Don’t want to go there again. Very unhappy!!!!😟😟

    Honestly, we had such a bad experience here today. We waited 10min before we were greeted/acknowledged by one of the two gentlemen working there. (They were busy but a smile or we'll be with you know would have been appreciated) After that, we waited 30 min for our drinks. And 1 hour on top of that for our food. The bobotie on top of the waffle was ice cold. And the waffles needed salt and flavor overall (that says a lot considering how hungry we were, our late breakfast ended up as lunch and we should have wanted to devour our food... But we were happy to just pay and leave) I was very disappointed in our visit to them The waffles looks amazing. And since they are busy you recon that they are amazing and worth the wait. Won't recommend them. And won't visit them again. My review is here not to shame them. Just hire a runner or one ekstra waiter/waitress to take the load off the team and to create a better customer experience.

    European style café, on the street watching cars, people and the sea. Great waffles - so many different types. And a few lovely beers! - Duvel, tastes like more. Family friendly and not just the sweet waffles, savoury and 'meal' waffles also served. Very innovative!

    Update was there again this year. The menu changed a bit but the waffles were as great as ever! The food was great! And the service very good. It has a beautiful view of the ocean with shaded outside seating. The Kalfie size is great for a small breakfast. P.S.The chocolate sauce is not just a sugary syrup but actually contains chocolate! All the waffles are sugar-free (without topping) and you can order a gluten-free version.

    Lovely place with a ocean view and in the part of Hermanus where you have to come if you are a tourist. It has good waffles, but not the best if had. The caffe mocca was good and the service was not the best. The waiter didn't seem very friendly and never checked up on us. It is a very good place for a breakfast waffle and a view of the beauty of Hermanus.
