Really liked the options on the menu, the chips were better then what I've had in Belgium. I felt however the beer menu was small, and the seafood platter should have been colder and maybe served on ice. Other than that, food was fresh, tasty and tye service was excellent.
I got the 6 oysters on the menu which were delicious! The server was very kind in letting me try a lemonade with grenadine (extra 50p). It wasn’t busy when we went around 4pm. I had to get up in the end to get the bill since it took a while but still a nice experience.
Situated on the seafront it specialises in seafood on this visit we didn't eat. It has over 50 Belgium bottled beers. The cafe houses down below in the Cellar Bear Me Brewery, a great range of Beers and Ipas.
This place is a Eastbournes little secret.
Well worth a visit.
2nd August 2023 Revisited The Belgium Cafe & Bear Me Brewery. This time we had food and drinks. Marcela took good care of us. For starters I had Snails in Garlic, my wife had Salmon Gravalax. My main was Platter 1, my wife had Chilli Prawn Linguine. The portions were generous and very reasonably priced. l for dessert had a Raspberry Panacotta. I washed my meal down with a pint of Mango Unchained and a special on the day a pint of Lychee White beer both very nice. My wife had 3 Bombay Sapphire & slimline tonics. There is a large selection of Gins available .
Burgers, Ribs and other favourites like Mac & Cheese available. I would recommend the seafood. We look forward to revisiting again soon.
We are returning customers. This is a yummy place to go if you fancy mussels and beer. But their menu has plenty of other options that can satisfy you if mussels are not your thing, like in my case. The service is always lovely, great host and big smiles, they take time in getting the right order for you, they help and advice you which is something i personally appreciate.
I had a huge portion of seafood linguine, very tasty and rich in seafood. My mom had another huge portion of fish and chips whoch was freshly cooked.
We will go back again!
Lovely lively Ambience. The staff are really courteous and friendly. We had live music going on. It was Sunday evening. We had large fish and chips. It was very crispy. They have a good selection of beer from beerme. They are famous for the muscles but we are not a muscles eater.
The best was the toilets. It was downstairs and looked like a cave. they renovated a really old space. The cost was really cheap. Will visit again if we’re around.
This seafood restaurant only take less than 5 minutes walk from Eastbourne pier. They serve fresh seafood and variety of Belgian beers. We had a seafood platter for two, oysters and mussels cooked with herbs lemon.
The seafood platter for two comes with a small bowl of Marinière Mussels, prawns, sashimi salmon and oysters. Another Herbs Lemon Mussles was served with homemade Belgian fries, bread and butter. The seafood was paired with dry white wine. It was perfect match!
Chips left a little too be desired, ( seemed a bit stale, perhaps just the time of day) otherwise a really nice meal, mussels with blue cheese and bacon.
Staff very pleasant and helpful,
they didn’t have the oyster stout I asked for, but the lovely lady gave me a couple of small tasters to help me choose an alternative.
Chose Dubble Trubble, complemented the mussels beautifully.
I can certainly recommend this place and expect to go back again myself.
No real atmosphere at the time of day I was there, but can imagine it would be nice later on and at weekends.
Nice place with a wide range of mussel dishes. The food is delicious, the waiters are friendly, the atmosphere is pleasant. I can definitely recommend this place
Honestly, the best meal I've had in a long time. Had a platter and the seafood was so delicious and fresh. The staff friendly and professional.
Absolutely loved the mussels and the service here!
Gets quite busy on the weekend, so I recommend a booking.
