Wow! What a bar/restaurant. The food and beers were absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for the excellent culinary experience and the wonderful beer and gin variety. What a fantastic way for my wife and I to celebrate our 19th anniversary. This celebration will never be forgotten. Thank you ever so much! We have been blessed! X

Brilliant customer service. I went in to see if they had any Houblon Chouffe, the best beer in the world. They didn't, however, they had a Chouffe gift box on sale, with a Houblon inside which they let me buy and drink on site. Brought me an ice bucket too to cool the beer and invited me to drink the whole box (I'll pass thanks considering the strength of the beers!)

I loved this place ! I was on my own and staff were really nice and friendly. Loved the food and had a slow cooked stew and seriously yummy Creme Brûlée, and a sample of one of the beers. Reminded me of little bars in Belgium Holland. Give it a try when you visit Bristol.

This little place has been my oasis for a week while my son has been in Bristol Royal Children’s Hospital. I’ve spent all day every day in hospital seeing him in pain and distress, and every night I’ve walked back to my hotel at 10pm (my wonderful wife takes the night shift by his side). Anyway, it’s been very hard but opposite is the Strawberry Thief. A pretty but informal little Belgian bar for beer connoisseurs. Evidently a great place for a group of friends on a night out, a couple on a date or me solo, trying a few beers and just decompressing before I go to bed. They didn’t mind when I knocked over a glass, and they were understanding when I got up and forgot that you pay your tab when you leave here (not used to that in the UK and I am very, very tired). I love the leather bound beer menus, I love the wallpaper and the tiled fireplace, and I loved the excellent food my wife and I were able to have when my sister sat by my son for an evening. I don’t usually write such personal reviews but it’s been a very personal week and this little bar gave me a little breathing space where I could be on my own amongst friendly people, rather than just going back to an empty hotel room. When my boy’s old enough, we’ll come back and have a beer and the scotch eggs.

Came to sample the Belgian and Dutch fare for a light lunch, and were not disappointed. I had a fabulous Trappist Witte and my other half had a Paulaner. We both tucked into the Bristol Rarebit - made with Cornish Gouda and Pilsner, and served with excellent pickles. Absolutely delicious! The staff were really friendly and welcoming, and the place itself is beautifully put together. We will definitely be back!

The best place in England, me and my partner visited the strawberry thief today and was astonished by how beautiful the place was! A warm welcome from the manager in the checked brown shirt, a lovely head chef Eric who took our order explained the menu and gave some fantastic reccomendations he was also looking after the food today and he did an amazing job! Big up Eric.. I have never ever received such amazing service. Me and my partner are delighted we found a gem! I didn’t get our waiters name who served us for the second time he had curly brown hair was so friendly and was wearing navy boots. The attention to detail in this stunning place is unreal and the attention the staff pay their customers is beyond brilliant. Hats off to you all. Was a real pleasure to experience such amazingness. Thank you for making our day 💖

Visit No - 001 and many more to come I hope. I would describe the Strawberry Thief as slightly off the beaten track as it was more of a chance discovery. What a great discovery it was though! The food was fantastic, I would say this definitely more of a bar than a restaurant but as I'm not a fussy eater the small menu didn't bother at all plus a few things done well, is always better than a lot done averagely. I had the pork belly in May 23' and hope this stays on the menu 1000%. Great service guys 😊

Thoroughly enjoyed the great selection of beers on tap and the majority of staff were very friendly. Will definitely be returning. Only knocked down from 5 stars to 4 due to the excessive 12.5% service charge added onto the bill, combined with a member of staff taking umbrage when we ‘only’ offered to pay 10%, which really is more than fair for orders of just drinks. Even more so when you consider the large premium you are paying on the drinks (a bottle of Duvel here costs £8 vs £2.50 in just about any supermarket). A slight sour taste left after an otherwise great afternoon.

During our business stay in Bristol we wanted to have some Belgian beer, so this placed was recommended to us. We went inside to learn that all sits are busy/reserved and only option was to have a seat outside. It came as a surprise, as we could see some places available. It was quite cold outside, so we decided to have just a beer instead of full meal. The waiter promised to see us outside immediately. Well, it took him more about 10 minutes to bring us a list of beers. He gave us another 5-7 minutes, before he took our orders, then another 10 to bring the order. The beer was delicious, as you would expect from Belgian one. We finished it quite quickly because of cold and wanted to pay. I signalled my reediness to pay to the waiter who was serving next table. 10 minutes later, still no one bothered to charge the bill. Well, I went inside to pay and there I learned that THEY DON'T TAKE CASH. That is a big NO NO for me in hospitality industry. That 1 star out of my review, just for that. Overall conclusion: this is the place busy enough to not to care about new customers. It was my first and last visit.

Lovely Belgian beer ... so many available. It was going to take 30 minutes to cook and we were under pressure, so ended up with two cheese boards alongside some chips, all of which was excellent ... ! Would come back for a meal one day ... which is saying something, as I live over 100 miles away from Bristol!

A place where you can enjoy it just for its atmosphere. The service was great, very attentive and friendly. The food is not bad. The cod was fresh, and the shrimp “croquettes” surprised us with their size. A lot of ambient noise, because people talk loudly. But that's part of its fun. Worth. Highly recommended.

Great little pub/bar with a fantastic atmosphere! Beers are reasonably priced. As a party of 5, we worked our way through a number of different beers and some liquors, including a beer flight which I'd highly recommend if you're not sure what you want to drink! Barstaff are knowledgeable and pleasant, and the cheeseboard was lovely (though could have used a few more crackers/breads). All in I'll be back for sure; the food menu looked excellent but definitely one to book in advance!

Love Belgian speciality beer? Look no further! The Strawberry Thief (decorated top to toe in William Morris's 1883 artwork by the same name), is one of the finest 'tap rooms' with a compelling selection of traditional Belgian beer + some contemporary 'craft beer' options. They also serve up snacks, small plates and sharing boards inspired by European cuisine, with a modern Bristolian twist in a superb central location. Been twice and has been a highlight of both visits to Bristol.

This place is lovely for a sit down meal for an occasion as it’s quite expensive (£5.90 for a Lost and Found and our burgers were £16). However, the food is delicious and haven’t had a burger that good in a long while. The staff were very friendly. The continental table service is good for a meal but if you’re just there for a drink it’s a little frustrating. The style of the tables is a bit difficult as there’s not much room for your legs! Otherwise, great spot especially if you’re into your Belgian beers.
