    Quite special place and you cannot find similar place in London. Waffle and crepes are delicious and friendly staff. Highly recommend for brunch.

    Really good food, quirky menu, good ambience and attentive service. I had a limencello and mascapone crepe and my friend a bagel. We drunk fresh lemonade and also slow gin. We were exceptionally happy with our food and drinks, they were full of flavour and inventive. The crepe could have been improved by being a little lighter but it was still enjoyable and very reasonable for the price. The star of the show was my slow gin presented to me as a little tasting experience! First try the gin alone, divine. Then try the gin with spices. Then the peel, amazing! Finally add your tonic. Wow. So tasty and totally unexpected! It absolutely does have a lovely ambiance, a lovely vintage/rustic vibe and I expect it is a delightful place for weddings and events. I adore all the vintage touches and the relaxed atmosphere.

    Nice cosy breakfast experience. Good service and good food! Highly recommend the scrambled egg and bacon crepe with maple syrup!

    Belgian Brasserie has recently changed owner but still maintains the same level of friendly, warm service. The restaurant itself is quirky and cosy, the coffee is good and the food is delicious and reasonably priced.

    Lovely crepes & coffee. Had the Amaretto one & lemon & berries. Friendly staff. Cosy & warm with soft music. Would visit again.

    Lovely little cafe with a nice atmosphere and jazz music playing in the background. Stopped for an afternoon coffee and waffle which were both great.

    All I can think is I was charged £6.60 for one maple & cinnamon pancake, served on a side plate. Such a shame.

    Disappointed. Told to take a seat so we thought someone will come and take the order, no one bothered so we had to make our own way to the counter where we were ignored for a few minutes. Bad service, got the order wrong twice. How? God knows as the place was not full. Staff shout loudly to each other like it’s some common diner! Waffle both looked and tasted disappointing, like reheated sainsburys bought waffle, definitely not worth the price. Bagel didn’t look great and tasted meh… you should do better.

    We had a private event here for our belated wedding reception. Only 16 people for a sit down meal which was perfect for the size of the place. Food was great and the whole event was super reasonable. They were also able to accommodate the vegans and gluten free in the party. It’s such a cute venue at night with all the fairy lights. Have also been several times for brunch and the savoury crepes are to die for!

    My friend pre-booked a table which they wasn't aware of, but no issue as the place was almost deserted other then two other people in the cramped, tired, over priced, shabby place. But because my friend had picked there to eat, I went along with it stupidly. Far too many tables or furniture cramped into what I can describe as a run down shed. The counter where you have to order at was full of stuff, and it was tired looking and just so shabby. I squeezed the buggy into a little gap, and we waited. No one came to take our order, so I headed up to the counter to place it. Two female members of staff on, one her English wasn't her first language (so her understanding later when I explain what happened was harder to explain). My daughter and I ordered a regular crepe each and friend a waffle. Two of the plates arrived before the other, by some considerable time. So they were half way through there meals when mine finally arrived. Drinks arrived same time as two of the three meals, when we waited some time for them as well. When the crepes arrived, I was staggered, for the price I expected more filling. These flat, nearly non existent crepes arrived with barely anything in them and certainly not worth the price of them. We ate them, as was hungry and the food was okay. I heard them ding my beans in the microwave oven before adding the tiny tiniest bit of cheese and two leaves of rocket and eventually making its way to me. My daughter's crepe was no different, the tiniest bit of camembert, one rocket leaf and a dob or red currant jelly. Totally not worth the cost. The drinks we ordered were a smoothy - which was okay, but you don't have a choice in the smoothly fruit, they tell you what's in it and it's a one smoothy flavour for all. Beware, this comes full of seeds! Bits were all in my daughter's teeth. The cold hot chocolate they do was very disappointing. It's basically hot chocolate power mixed in with milk, a squirt of cream and the tiniest flake on top. We were supposed to get mini marshmallows but they didn't bother. When I asked after the marshmallows, the lady with accent told me they ran out. No apology at the time they brought the drinks over to the table. No offer of an extra flake or cream and the amount of ice they put into the drinks made it watery and tasteless. For £4.80 each drink I expected more. Same as the price of the crepe, I expected more, more filling, better service (where you don't need to go up to the over crowded counter to order yourself). This place was the pits. No wonder it was pretty dead in there. I shall never return. I was offered 15 pence off my £40 bill due to the lack of marshmallows, I mean really? I said no thanks, I will pay in full! That's what I did as the 15 pence was an insult. How they are still running as a café brasserie is shocking. I wouldn't recommend, wouldn't return even if I was starving hungry. This place is all round the pits!

    Funky little breakfast spot with a boozy twist. My partner and I were staying across the street while on vacation and decided to stop by for breakfast as it was close by. Great choice! Very small shop but very creative food that tasted amazing. Reasonably priced too, at least in comparison to what we are used to back in Canada. Very friendly staff as well. Loved this place!

    There aren’t many places that do bagels these days, but if you fancy one here’s a place to visit. The bagel was nicely soft and the bacon was cooked properly, neither undercooked nor overly done. Weekday mornings tend to be quite quiet in this area and the service is normally very good. I took a photo of the menu for the people reading this review and wanting to know what’s being served.

    The coffee was not hit enough. The ladies there are excellent. Great service and helped me when I needed it.

    This is an absolutely lovely place hidden away in a collection of artisanal small businesses in an area formerly occupied by a water mill. The food was speedily delivered, authentically Belgian and absolutely delicious. The owner, an engineer, was there and could not have been more solicitous and helpful. We loved it and recommend the place highly for breakfast, brunch or dinner.

    Decent place to have a crepe or waffle; I would suggest putting bananas inside the crepe as well to make it more substantial. The waffle was a little dry, not sure if it was made fresh or not

    Lovely eclectic & relaxed cafe. Had an amazing savoury crepe & large latte for £10 each. Generous portions , good quality & value.

    This lovely place is located at historic Merton Abbey Mills. They serve tasty pancakes, waffles, sandwiches, breakfasts, branches and lunch's here. As the name says, they are based on Belgian products and dishes. Nice atmosphere and professional service

    I love this cafe! I'm a real regular. It's casual, fun and relaxed and the staff are great. Love the freshly cooked pancakes...thanks all involved

    Use the place for breakfast. Bagels scrambled egg that type of thing. Nice and clean cooking. Lovely cup of tea not too keen on the coffee but over all I love to support the little independents

  • 5/5 Anne M. 2 years ago on Google
    What a brilliant place. The food, crepes and waffles, are well cooked and very tasty. I can recommend the camembert, walnut, spinach and red currant crepe and the cheese and ham. A grand selection of Belgian beers and cocktails to accompany the food and the best selection of music to eat by. If you are as old as me you will appreciate a journey through your wilder days. They have live music and open mic sessions too! A great place for lunch and you can hire it out for events too.
