The Belgian Beer Cafe is dedicated to showcasing and serving up the very best of Belgium’s beer and food. Besides that, it all happens in a relaxed setting, surrounded by the slightly old-world decor, and plenty of warm, inviting wooden tones. And lots of beer. A lot of beer. Aside from the pleasing and very-Belgian main space, the Belgian Beer Cafe also boasts an expansive European style terrace (perfect for summer evenings), as well as an upstairs dining room.
The dining room in particular, is great for private events. Belgian Beer Cafe is found along Melbourne’s Southbank, tucked away behind the main drag along Riverside Quay.
