Belgian Bar in Trafford

We love it here. Consistently good food, we have tried most stuff from small dishes to Sunday lunch and they never fail to produce great meals. There was live music today which was fun. It is very reasonably priced. Highly recommend 👌 thanks Barry and the team 👍🏼

Nipped in for a bite to eat and we were definitely not disappointed - lovely helpful staff and fantastic food really reasonably priced. Ordered a selection of tapas which was all lovely, and the Asian steak was ordered as a last minute decision and we were so glad we did as it was absolutely excellent. We had heard good things about the Belgian Bar from a friend so we’re glad we paid a visit and will definitely be back again! Excellent venue and people.

We just have the best time here. The staff are lovely and the food is too. They always accommodate my diet and feed me love it here

Very tasty lunch with nice ambience and good service. Toilets need some attention to achieve 5 star rating. Attractive decor and good menu and drinks choices.

Great beer selection, lovely food and helpful staff

Great choice of beers and lovely service

Excellent service, very good range of beers & nice selection of hot food

I actually loved this place. The food was the food, it was tasty and did the job, but the entire night was sooooo good. Great playlist and service and my gosh, that White Belgium Beer - what was it it!!!!! Best beer I’ve ever drank, even the mrs was stealing it! ❤️

In principle, this is a really nice bar. But I've had quite odd experiences recently. Last time I went in, they started pouring the beer before realising the barrel was at the end and going to change it. That took 15 minutes. At which point they started pouring the new barrel into the stale beer that had been sitting on the counter for 15 minutes. Really not great. They did change it when asked, but still...

What a super cosy bar. Really fun & friendly staff, surprisingly excellent & well-priced food & the best selection of delicious beers. What a find!

Fabulous little bar, really cosy, lovely staff and great selection of Belgian beers

Our trip to this was totally ruined by the woman who was serving, she was extremely rude, arrogant and went as far as telling us”if you are not happy go some where else” when asking her where was our drinks, after waiting for 45 mins for the drink we had ordered. I could not believe my ears. Have never seen such audacity and awful customer service. This is seriously out of order. Will never set foot in that place.our Sunday was totally ruined.

One of the most bizarre experiences that I ever had! I would not recommend wasting your time there! One of the staff who claimed that be a owner after waiting half an hour on a pint (which I never received) when I asked her if she remembers my order in a polite manner, but she brutally and in a very rude/savage manner, front of all other customers shout loudly and said: if you don’t like it go somewhere else! I could see they serving other customers but only delayed my drink! I was so embarrassed front of my family and friends, when I confront her in private and asked her the reason, instead of being civilised and explain, she decided to ignore and turn her back on me! She repeatedly said to me GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! It was one of the bizarre moments of my life. Never experienced such an attitude in a bar/restaurant! Never been rude to her and tried to talk her calmly but she was a racist Karen!

We waited for a drink for more than 45 mints and the worse thing was the lady's attitude -never seen any staff thar rude

Great little bar with a cosy and relaxed feel. Table service which is a nice touch, friendly staff. On the extensive drinks menu there is a whole gluten free selection of beers (such as Greens, and a Dubbel & Tripel) , interesting ones too! underheard of and very welcome. My new favourite place!

I can't rate the food enough. I had the tapas, while my family had the kebab and hot dog. The food was excellent, that nice we shared everything together. From the beer to the soft drinks, we're excellent as well. The service was great, a young lady and the owner were very friendly. I will be back and definitely recommend. thank you

Love coming here,great selection of beers and great atmosphere. Staff always go the extra mile. Definitely recommend 👍👍

Draught Krombacher and bottles of Jever made for a great drinking session with Oxbow Red on the open roaring fire keeping us both toastie... A sound and thoughtful owner. A place to seek out with some easy eats to top things off. A place to seek out and spend a good couple of hours.

Wow excellent food on a saturday afternoon - highly recommend the halloumi gryo (flat bread wrap). Hot dog was good too. Lovely atmosphere with the roaring fire. Staff were excellent - hope to be back soon.

We been there for New Year and was amazing! Great drinks,food ,music and excellent customer service

Superb selection of beers. A nice roaring fire and a good selection of tapas sharing plates.

The fireplace is amazing during winter!

Great beer, food and atmosphere. Sunday lunch in front of the open fire is a must and great value.

Perfect place in the perfect spot, super frindly bar manager, made my evening 😊 Lindemans Belgian Cherry beer 🤤 and Fire place! Say no more, you must visit...

Not changed much in years this place, and is fairly close in atmosphere to some of the bars I've been to in Belgium. Table service, as you'd expect, and a not bad range of Belgian beers, although IMO it's a touch safe and could do with some newer microbrewers on there. Still, I enjoyed my St Bernardus....

Plenty of food & drinks to choose from. Well worth popping in.

Love it here! Real beer, great atmosphere and a rustiflc feel.

Lovely food and drink. Had a lovely chat with the owner and fantastic service from the bar maid. Went in before a gig nearby and had a great time. Always worth a visit. Thanks.

Amazing choice of products. Great server. Surprised by the quality and portion size of the food. Liked the choice of music... intelligent 70s 80s at a sensible volume. I'm a definate return customer. The sheep's name is Sam (the Suffolk) BTW.

My wife and I held a private party at this venue. Barry the owner and his team were excellent. We would definitely recommend the venue, the food and service.

First time visiting, amazing food and amazing, friendly staff. Highly recommend.

An amazing gem of a bar on Greenwood Street in Altrincham. Cozy in the evenings with open fire. A great range of bottled and draught beers served to your table by attentive, friendly staff. Did I mention the food? A gteat menu of small plates and some amazing kebabs. Give this place a visit if you're in the area, it never disappoints

I know the owner of this bar, a very affable South African who certainly knows his European products (he runs a Tapas stall at Stockport's Foodie Friday once per month). Great selection of continental beers, even if they're not the cheapest (import fees etc.)

Great atmosphere, great staff, extensive selection of beers. The food is outstanding. Every plate of food looked and tasted delicious. Outstanding dishes of note were the Asian steak, the giant king prawns and the filo pastry. And the owner is very handsome so ladies get down there!

We usually really like Belgian Bar, it’s got a nice atmosphere and the food is nice. We decided to take my parents who were up visiting for dinner and booked a table for 8PM. When making the reservation we specifically asked if they were serving food on Saturday evening which they confirmed they were until 10pm. We arrived for our booking, ordered drinks and were presented with a food menu. Nobody came to take our food order so after around 30 mins I asked if we could place an order, the waitress had to go and check with the chef. After checking and a discussion at the bar with another waitress she informed us we could not place an order for another 30 minutes. When asked why, I was abruptly and rudely told that they were ‘busy and there is only 1 chef’. No one else in the bar was eating so not entirely sure what they were doing, also, if you can’t accommodate 4 people for food on a Saturday evening then don’t take a booking; especially when we specifically stated we wanted to eat. We decided to cut our losses and ate elsewhere. It’s a shame as we have previously eaten here and really enjoyed it, it was also a bit embarrassing as we had raved about the food. You really shouldn’t take a table booking if you can’t provide the requested service. Also there is a way of speaking to people in a polite manner. There are plenty of other places to go in Altrincham.

There was a very rude & unhelpful member of staff( apparently she was a senior / manager) the other 2 female staff was very helpful and nothing was too much trouble .

Absolutely stunning chicken gyros, very reasonably priced too, and an amazing Belgian beer selection.

Great selection of beers and food reasonably priced and delicious sunday lunch is great during christmas went as a party of 16 and they catered for us brilliantly.

An excellent long standing establishment in Altrincham and very welcoming! Still there with a wonderful selection of beers and fresh cooked food :)

We stumbled across this by chance and couldn't resist popping in for a few drinks. A good selection of Belgian beers and a nice warm fire provided a welcome break. Very welcoming and chatty owner who was able to recommend a few other places to check out. Table service for drinks. They also serve food.

A great bar with good Belgium beers. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

5 ladies called in to a very busy bar, the staff went out of their way to get us seated, they were so friendly and extremely knowledgeable about their drinks, food looked good too,,

We had a lovely evening here. Great selection of beers. Beautiful food. Can highly recommend the spinach and feta filo parcels and the honeyed goats cheese.

Brilliant service, great beer, and the best chips I've had in ages

My partner and I decided to walk around and find somewhere to eat for valentines rather than book and both fancied some nibbles or tapas. Thankfully the local tapas restaurants were full as we wouldn’t have ended up here! The service from all the staff was 10/10. There’s a lovely fireplace and great atmosphere/ambiance to this hidden bar! We had a selection of tapas and it was all amazing. We were not left disappointed with any part of our visit and we have decided to make this place a regular to eat at it was so good! I can’t believe it wasn’t full on valentines as it honestly was just perfect! Thanks so much guys, keep doing what you’re doing as we loved it! We will see you soon!

Hubbie has visited here for drinks and highly recommend thus place, the minute I walked in I felt relaxed and welcomed . The open fire was definitely the reason I decided to stay and eat here along with the customer service from Naiomi ...ordered the tapas and it was amazing .... if your looking for a cosy date night with fab food and lovely staff definitely give this place ago.... we will be back 🥰

Cosy with awesome food and a massive range of Belgian beers. Hard to beat

Love this place! tapas are amazing and the staff are lovely!

We are seasonal regulars in the Belgian Bar and often walk the 5 miles or so from where we live to sample the beer they have on offer. The Krombacher is exceptional and we quote often end up enjoying a little too much ....... hic !! On Sunday we tried their Sunday roast which I have to say , was excellent. Large portions and definately all home made. Highly Recommend.

Excelentes tapas , los calamares a la romana y las gambas al ajillo las mejores de Manchester, buena selección de cervezas y una atención excelente..

Muy delicioso todo, las cervezas y las tapas, muy buen ambiente., 100% recomendado.

Nice Place with good food and a great variety of drinks

I love this bar. Cosy and relaxed. Interesting choice of drinks. Nice staff and table service. Great location opposite the market place and lots of restaurants. A few minutes walk from the metro.

The best staff you will find anywhere!

Great steak baguette - lovely beer - amazing staff especially David!! Unreal

David was fantastic. Lovely food, great food and super friendly service

The Belgian Bar is one of those bars you accidentally come across on your travels like the quiant quirky little bar when you are in Europe. It has all the hallmarks of a bijou bar down a side street in Venice or Paris or Barcelona or even Belgium. Its small but has a gorgeous ambience and is the sort of place that you can spend all evening there. They have all manner exotic beers there and some really eclectic spirits too. Lets not forget some delicious cocktails too 😋. All in all a really lovely little place that delivers and delights every time. Our friends appeared to have liked it too. Bravo once again the Belgian Bar..

Amazing bar with a super collection of Belgian beers and other drinks. Staff very nice and knowledge, great little drinking venue!

05/08/22: I've been coming to the Belgian Bar, formerly La Trappiste on Greenwood Street, since I moved to Altrincham in 1995. It closed as La Trappiste on 29th October 2011 and rebranded with a facelift as The Belgian Bar. It's still the same quirky curio of a place as it always was, with it's wood interior, traditional Belgian decor and little nooks & crannys on the upper floor. An extensive Belgian Beer menu, something for everyone. Over 10 taps to choose from and a stock of over 300 bottles from Belgium, Europe, UK & Europe. Dog friendly. Welcoming and accommodating staff. Plenty of room outside to sit and relax, plus the warmth of a real fire on Winter days. A nice selection of sandwiches, hot dogs, steak frites, meze and tapas.

Great selection of beers and friendly staff as always

Fantastic food and staff and beer 🍺 👌🏼

Fantastic choice of continental beers. Brilliant every time!

Friendly bar staff, great beers

Fab beers in a great location..

Love this place! The manager is great with a wonderful memory

Wonderful selection of beers including a number of vegan beers. Staff were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Top quality.

This place is amazing! Great Customer service and advice on which beers to try, gave us samples which was very kind, extensive knowledge which is always what you want when you want to try something new. Gutted it was so quiet when we went because it was amazing!

5 plus!!! La variedad de cervezas es excelente, (Alemanas y Belgas) y precios muy razonables. El chico que hace las recomendaciones es muy amable y tiene mucho conocimiento sobre cervezas. Perfecto lugar para tomar algo en la terraza o adentro junto a la chimenea. Habia pasado muchas veces por este lugar pero decidimos entrar por un trago hace 4 semanas. Hemos regresado 2 veces!!

Painful wait for food, well over an hour. Overpriced

Great place. Small but nice atmosphere and a good choice of drinks.

Great bar, I love Belgian beers. Bartenders are great, and the owner is an awesome guy. I came in while travelling abroad for work. The owner sat down with me and we talked for at least a couple hours about our travels. Highly recommend this place, I know I'll be coming back when I visit Altrincham again.

Excellent beer and surroundings.

Lovely cozy pub and the staff are lovely, friendly and cheerful. The only issue is that they charge you a 10% service without telling you or having it wrote down anywhere on the drink menu. When I walked in I was told to take a seat anywhere and I only ordered 2 standard beers no food. The bill should of came to £10.60 and was charge £11.66. I don’t mind paying a service if I was told or given a receipt but I wasn’t. I asked the gentleman why I was charged and he says it’s a service charge as it’s table service only but if I went to the bar myself I wouldn’t of got charged. Yes I was given a refund of my beers which I didn’t want as I was trying to say it’s the principle of you not telling us and not just secretly adding it on without us knowning. If you are going to do this please note this on your menu or tell your staff to inform everyone. It is against the law to do this!

Love this bar, great staff and service, and beer of course!

Love the Belgian Bar as every time we visit it is always exceptionally good and a delight to visit. Especially on this occasion when we visited to finish off our night in Altrincham. It was made even more special by our host/barman who we didn't catch the name of but did ascertain that he was from Croatia. He was a very attentive guy with a lovely disposition and a friendly manner. 😊. Whenever we go to Altrincham we always drop into the Belgian Bar as its always convivial and welcoming. Fabulous place with a gorgeous ambience. Wonderful!!

Possibly my favourite bar in Altrincham, but I think the automatically added 10% service charge is a bit steep to say the least.

Popped in for lunch today, food was absolutely excellent as was our custom Hungarian lemonade! Highly recommended and look forward to returning. All staff very welcoming and log fire really helped warm us up! 5*

Great staff. Seems like a family run place. Nice open fire. Good beer menu.

Staff super friendly and great selection of beer....and you can't beat a toasty open fire on a cold winter's evening.

Great atmosphere , cosy, real fire, geat food, good prices, outside seating with heaters, good beer, helpfull/friendly staff, conveniently located.

Great beers, good service from the staff.

Waited nearly an hour for food and it wasn't busy, food was great though.

Good service, a comfortable European type pub with a good beer selection. I'll go back out of choice.

Stopped in here after wanting to visit for some time. The decor is that of a cafe you would find in the continent with a great selection of beers and cocktails. What makes this place however is the service. The manager/owner makes your night with personal service, warm conversation and good humour. Nothing was too much trouble and he made you feel like you were really important to him. Open fire and a chilled out atmosphere made out night This may actually be one of my favourite bars ever.

An amazing experience! Seb was an incredible server and he treated everyone he spoke to like royalty. Can’t recommend this place enough.

Visited Belgian Bar yesterday for the first time and I was astonished about the level of customer service received. Nothing was too much trouble, staff was super friendly (they found a perfect balance of being friendly and not overload the customer with kindness). Although someone went beyond and above to make our table happy and that was David. I have asked for mocktail (not on the menu) thinking I might be faced with 'no' as it happened in few places already, but for David that was not a problem. All evening he was making me the most amazing drinks I could possibly imagine. Blends, taste and attention to details... just wow!!! Thank you so much for accommodating my needs. Left the bar super happy You guys should put those on the menu. Let other people taste what I did!

Always lekker.always welcoming to my dogs.

I’ve come here in more than one occasion and every time we get quick and efficient service and a great range of drinks that you won’t find anywhere else. The cosy atmosphere and real fire are perfect and the food is exceptional, get the steak or the Sunday roast which are both unbelievable. Besides the great environment and service, I’ve met so many like minded people and have always had a great time. The owner often shows up and he is a larger than life character who adds to the experience. By far the best pub in Altrincham and quite possibly one of the best in the north west.

Super friendly staff, and great greek food pop up!

In one word. Terrible. Ordered a Steak medium and couldn't believe how overcooked it was. Chef should re trade. Removed the service charge as staff seemed disinterested and felt as if we were an inconvenience although satisfied my money was returned. 1 star review as beer was nice. Photo of steak attached

Ate here after visiting Altrincham Market. We had the Chicken Gyro. Tip. Ask for the fries to be on the side and not in the gyro. very friendly and helpful. Give it a try.

Great food an Great staff an service

Had a yummy lunch of chicken gyros which was reasonably priced. We sat outside and the service was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was good. Worth a visit

The service was outstanding. Kay was looking after us and we couldn't fault her. A great asset to Belgian Bar. Very friendly and nothing was to much bother and kept everybody watered and fed. Thank you.

Great food with excellent service

This place is awesome! Been going for years. The staff are incredible. So friendly, very attentive.

Pleasant, good service, good food and fair prices

Been to this Belgian bar many times and always enjoyed great service Been again today and special mention to Kay, who looked after our table and never stopped all evening!! Kay is an absolute star!! Please reward Kay, as she dies such a great job looking after everyone she comes into contact with!!
