Far and away the best place for a drink in St Ives. For beer connoisseurs it’s a dream. Great sound track, fab decor and expert service. The foods very good too. Don’t miss this place.

The drinks are ridiculously overpriced. £7-£8 for a pint, plus discretionary 12.5% service charge is just taking it too far. £20 for a 750ml bottle of Leffe?? It's a nice idea, attempting to imitate the European experience but it feels exploitative. This service is standard overseas for a fraction of the price, but is being upsold to the gullible folk in Cornwall and the atmosphere was far from organic.

Nice place with good beer. Food was okay but a little overpriced in my opinion. Be aware that they put on 12.5 % service charge on to the bill. I would rather they left it to the customer to decide how much the tip should be.

I never expected to find a Belgian Cafe in St Ives but what a lovely surprise. The inside décor is superb. The selection of beers are brilliant and the barman took the time to explain. The only thing that let it down was the food. A bit rushed. Definitely have no problems with giving it five stars and would return.

What a great venue. Delicious food and a massive selection of the best beers you can get, Belgian. Don't forget to ask what's in the secret cellar off the menu. The best is the gouden carolus classic which is my favourite dark beer. Had tapas food and was great. Definitely recommend! Ate in the place twice in 3 days.

We got put on the worst table. It was literally a bedside cabinet in a corner half obscured by a wooden wall. Our dog was on the window seat with. 2 waiters took drinks order, food order, only to be told after 20 minutes later to move the dog. The table was so small and crushed up that I spilled my food on me. Overall an expensive cramped poor experience.

Lovely surroundings, friendly staff, great beer but very disappointed with the mussels - over half the shells were empty and the ones I did find were really tiny. We gave our feedback and our bill was amended from the large portion price to the small portion price. Also, the starter special of corn fritters with guacamole (a thimble full) was very, very small. Perhaps a sign of the economic squeeze! 3 of us were disappointed with the mussels but the fourth loved her pulled pork.

I feel obliged to give 5 stars as the food is great, as are the staff, and suspect we will continue to come every time we visit St Ives, however, there are a couple of aspects that are a little amiss. Firstly, it is expensive. All well and good if you have the spending money, but I am sure it is prohibitive to many. The food is excellent, especially the mussels (Thai style is our favourite). On short one week stays, we have chosen to go twice rather than visit other great places nearby. That being the case, I stray to the Tapas style Borrelhapjes. Really enjoy this, but the recommended 3 dishes mounts up to ~£21, being roughly the same as a large pot of mussels. On this visit I chose to drink one of the special beers, being ~£8 a pint. As I say, lovely if you can afford it. Another gripe is not having bread included in the price (if wanted) of the mussels. On previous visits, the bread has been several chunky slices of mixed fresh bread. This time it was two large chunks of white and brown, which were not that fresh. Somewhat dissapointing. Anyway, we will look forward to going again.

Its 6 pm & an unforgiving 28 degrees in a very dry and week long heat wave; whats the point of not putting the air con (even if you have few in your cafe) - beats me! We had to ask for a different seating where we could get a bit of air as the cafe was stuffy. May be think about how inconvenient it can be for visitors and tourists?! The place had only few guests and I could not continue to sit in a hot stuffy humid cafe while place will quickly become jam-packed. Think about your employees too! Not a great working condition. I had booked the place in advance but the vibe was not good. A fan or working AC would have changed everything!
