The Belgian Monk in Norwich

Was surprised at this little gem. Very nice place.

I had the wild boar sausages. The food is standard, nothing to rave about. There was a lack of atmosphere at the time we went. There was a female waitress who had such a poor attitude, not welcoming or friendly at all. I had the waffles for dessert and it was pretty disgusting if I'm honest. My overall opinion is that the food is over rated and over priced for what it is. I didn't try the beer, so maybe that's the selling point but personally I would not go back. Plenty ofnicer places to eat in Norwich, with better service and atmosphere.

First time at the Belgian Monk today for lunch, didn't have a booking but a table was available. The liver & bacon was delicious & my wife had the pork belly (which she said was better than one she tried the other week elsewhere) a very good selection of beers, tried a couple I've never had before & was superb. Two mains for £25.... excellent value for money!! Staff were very friendly. Will definitely return.

If you are a beer/brewing enthusiast, this is the pub for you. Amazing beer menu. Staff were very friendly and the food was great ( mussels are a speciality). Highly recommended!

I visited with my Dutch friends on 24th January. The food was great. Waiter service was exceptional. Atmosphere good (rather noisy when party of about 12 men came.) My only negative was the woman who greeted us. She was rather brusque and abrupt in her greeting and not welcoming in her manner.

Standards have slipped since the change of ownership. The beer list is noticeably shorter, and it is a minefield trying to find the ones they have in stock. Beer used to be served in the right glass, and now often it isn't. Kwak without the wooden stand is not really Kwak ;-). The food is OK, bitterballen, fries and mayonnaise go well with the beer, and there are always mussels. The menu is shorter than it used to be, which normally helps, but the quality is slipping. Fruits de mer mussels used to have lots of seafood, but on our last visit, there was barely any. The seats out the back are worth grabbing if they're in the sun, but they have covered seating with heaters if not.

1st time I came was 6 years ago Thought I come back still as good as I remmber

This is of the best restaurants we’ve been to this year. We’re based in London and were in town for a short trip. Very impressed with the huge range of quality Belgian beers. The food was excellent and good value - I had tartiflette and my husband had moules. Lovely warm atmosphere and friendly service. Perfect night out!

We went in a party of 7, for Sunday lunch. The staff were very pleasant and attentive, however some of our chosen draught beers were unavailable so we were offered a bottled alternative costing £6 for 330ml. Everyone ate all of their meals, my meatballs were nice, the potatoes in the tartiflette were reported to be undercooked, but edible, and the roast dinners were a bit cold. Desserts were all fine, there were no hot drinks available as the machine had broken! The atmosphere was quite good, it's a lovely old building, but the chairs became uncomfortable after a while as they are wooden without any cushions.

We were there lunch time today. Didn't start too well with the receptionist/waitress. It was tipping down with rain and I said we would rather not sit outside. She obviously had no sense of humour and snapped at me you can sit over there. The meal was wonderful, no complaints there. My partner ordered an Irish coffee along with a sweet. She ask me to taste the coffee. Very week coffee with no hint of whisky. I called the waitress over and asked her to try the Irish coffee. She said she couldn't as she didn't like whisky. I said that was no problem as there wasn't any in it. She said there definitely was as she had made it herself. She did change it and it was okay. I asked for the bill and when it arrived I noticed there was a discretionary service charge. The waitress came back with the card terminal with the service charge already inputted in the machine. I told I was not paying the service charge. Her indignant retort was I should have said I was not going to pay the service charge when I asked for the bill. How I was supposed to know about the discretionary service before I got the bill is beyond me. A very nice meal spoilt by a very unprofessional waitress, which is a shame as I have always enjoyed the Belgium Monk.

Visited Norwich again having left 20 years ago and it was nice to see the Belgium monk is still going strong Food was as good as ever Ale selection was also as good as ever

Was sitted upstairs and way to hot no windows open.never got asked if we wanted a further drink or if our food was ok.

Amazing little pub, the food is exquisite, and the service is even more so. They have a great selection of vegan and vegetarian options. The staff know the menu well and can guide you to something you will more than likely enjoy. The atmosphere at the Belgian Monk is always friendly, filled with chatter, and gives a comfy feeling.

A great place to be, go and see! Also serves alcohol free 😊

Gorgeous lunch and I live the beer.

Walked past many times, usually with the family, none of whom are keen on this sort of food. So when I found myself at a loose end in town and hungry, I thought I'd give it a go. Was able to get a table for one as a walk-in just after midday, but it was otherwise booked up so they must be doing something right. I love beer but I don't drink alcohol anymore, so naturally I went straight to the alcohol-free beer section which consisted of...one beer, Jupiler, which is a half-decent Belgian af pilsner. Given that there are loads of nice and varied Belgian af beers available now, this is a pretty poor show given that most standard pubs stock a range of af beers, some on tap. Now, the food. I didn't know that it was two for £25 Monday - Wednesday on many main courses. That makes it great value. Nonetheless, I didn't feel too bad paying £19 for a huge bowl of moules marinière which came with a vast cone of excellent chips and a decent chunk of baguette. The sauce was decent - good depth of flavour - but it was hard to get to in these very deep bowls. I prefer a wider, shallower pot as served in some places I've been to. The mussels themselves were a bit of a let-down, being puny of size, if plentiful. With the beer and tip, it was ~£26 all in and I was stuffed - uncomfortably so, to be honest. If I were to go again, I would choose the starter size which is £13 and comes without chips. £26 isn't exactly a cheap lunch, and while it was enjoyable enough I don't think I'd hurry back, at least until they've upped their af beer game.

Good Hearty Food, Very popular location and generally a good time. Tartiflette was good but not as good as our last visit. Service was the best we have had on this visit.

Great food, lovely service. Love it

Really good authentic belgian food. Great selection of beers too

Beer was great service fantastic

Loads of choice both for the food and drinks is a great place to visit gir just a drink especially a beer so many to choose from and got a meal

Amazing food and range of beers. Lovely friendly staff

Excellent food and service. We were a large group for dinner, highly recommend pre-ordering meals, this helped the staff and allowed us to have a wonderful group meal, seamless service. Portions are generous, everything was perfectly prepared. Highly recommend.

We sat upstairs and it was very cold, which slightly spoilt our experience. Food was delicious and friendly staff

Food poor and overpriced for what it was. Very poor vegetarian options no mussels when we visited but other options not good.

Good food great atmosphere can't wait to visit again

Some great beers, food was ok, but not mind blowing. Tarteflette was not as rich or cheese laden as it would be in France, but maybe this was the Belgian way.

Great place for guests what Belgian beers

Great food and have most Belgian beers. Staff were really good.

Very nice place. Olde worldy building with a good atmosphere. Nicely laid out. Reminds me of monks supping their ale in there! 😁. Food was very good. Hot tasty and well presented food. Very good. Clean. Friendly staff!

What a treat. Great food and lovely beers. Nice to do something a bit different.

Belly pork dish was excellent beer good as usual.

I think the place has been taken over and it really has gone down hill. We tried to go in for a quick drink over Christmas and whilst it wasn't busy we were told we couldn't sit on any of the available tables (unless we were eating) and we would have to drink in the courtyard, in the rain... The old guy was very rude and unwelcoming about the whole thing. This place won't last without a drink trade though, disappointing that another great Norwich pub is going down the pan.

Beers are good. Cherry beer is awesome but was served 1 in a bottle. Would have rather bought the same from cambridge Wine merchants instead of travelling to Norwich for this. food was ok,, starters nice ( we had beef sausage, Ham croqutte & olive bread board, Tartiflette can be better. The main course was OK. Dessert Belgium waffles were embarrassing for the price. I can assure you it was bought in a frozen product or worse ...from ...lidl , warmed up & served with ice cream & charged £6-7.

Excellent food - service was pretty good as well.

Very helpful and friendly staff. The tables were cleaned between customers. The service and food were second to none. My partner and I had a wonderful evening at The Belgian Monk.

Unfortunately the Belgian monk has gone down the swannie under the new management. The place should be somewhere to enjoy Belgian beers with good food available but they are now only bothered about diners. As a result they have ruined the atmosphere as it is very quiet and subdued even when “full” of diners. You’re not allowed to drink at the bar and the tables are only for people ordering food. Didn’t eat but the food did not look good so won’t be returning. A real shame.

Wanted to go there for ages, and now I have. I thought it was very good.

Staff very welcoming but half the menu was altered or out of stock, had to wait an hour just for starters and food was very mediocre. Very disappointing. Beer was good though, but that’s about it.

Shambles. Sour faced hostess who blatantly lied about how long it would be for food to arrive. The manager was equally rude and we shall never return which is a shame as over the years we have been good loyal customers.

A classic place to eat in Norwich, which well deserves its reputation.

Great place been many times. Best beer in the city. Great atmosphere old building and polite helpful staff. Great sheltered beer garden with heaters also.

Fantastic pub, food looks good although we didn't eat. Such a shame though to see management treating their staff so badly, shouting at them Infront of customers, 'telling them off' for having friendly conversations with customers. It put a dampener on our evening. I bet they have a high staff turnover

Amazing selection of beers, including everyone's favourite: the cherry beer! I've never had a sit down meal here before but the drinks (and chips) are delicious. The beer garden is cute and sits next to an old church - there's also patio heaters so you can sit outside anytime of year. Dogs are allowed in the garden but not in the restaurant.

Have had a drink and eaten here often so popped in for a drink on a Friday evening. Very weird experience . 3 of us had a table and were having a drink. The landlady asked if we could move to the bar as the table was booked in 15 mins - which we of course said yes to. Went to the bar and ordered another drink. Owner served us no problem, stood at the bar and were drinking. when a friend arrived and he said he had to go outside as they were 'fully booked' and busy - even though there was only us at the bar. A friend asked nicely if our newly arrived could stay with us and he shouted and then him, chucked a tenner at him and said get out. The owner was violent, rude and it was a horrible experience. A shame as we used to like the place but nobody should be treated like that.

Overpriced and cold food. £18 for quite a small roast lunch. Beer was warm. Toilets looked absolutely disgusting. Waiting staff were very friendly though.

After a poor experience a few years ago I went back to give the Belgian Monk another try - I was surprised, it’s managed to get even worse! The pub has so much potential which is unfortunately ruined by an exceptionally rude owner, poor quality food and an uncomfortable atmosphere There are so many pubs in Norwich struggling to stay afloat and work exceptionally hard to deliver good standards, avoid this one and try elsewhere

Smells like fish and quite a lot of flies everywhere. Not the most inviting environment.

Had a roast dinner. It was good but not the best. Also had apple crumble which was good 😊 would recommend as other meals I have had here are tastey and the service/atmosphere is perfect!

14 of us came for our annual Christmas meal as a group of friends, all eating from the Christmas menu which was good value. Have been to Belgian Monk plenty of times over the years but only once previously since the ownership changed hands. We gave menu choices in advance and everyone got what they ordered, food was good and had great reviews all round. Great drinks service, they came round plenty of times to see if anyone needed more which was well received! Able to pay per couple at the end and happy with the 12.5% service charge added. Would definitely come back!

At busy times don't expect fast service. Take a book with you. Otherwise OK.

Not as nice as it used to be, unfortunately.

What a wonderful pub...great food and excellent variety of beverages. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. The place is just a great place to relax, chat and enjoy excellent food. Plenty of room and a great atmosphere. Close to all the shops and markets..... I'll be back!!!! Thanks for everything 🤗

Great food and service wonderful decor highly recommended will certainly be coming again friendly staff

Visited the Belgian Monk for an evening meal to partake in the Christmas Menu on offer this month. My wife and I had the three course meal for £39. And we were not disappointed. The food was hot and well presented and exactly what we expected. I had the mussel chowder for starter and the Xmas themed tartiflette for mains whilst my wife had the hake fish. The service was good and friendly and having read the previous reviews people have left I don't understand the comments of some people. Firstly it's a city pub known for its quality belgian beers. You pay for quality and its reflected in the price. Also the service charge is automatically added yes, but you can ask for this to be removed if you prefer to give a cash tip. The staff are not offended if you ask. They do work hard and I have no issues with the service given. Really enjoyable meal for my wife's birthday so thanks for making it really. special. 10/10. Regards Mr and Mrs Flower.

Had the roast dinners, which aren't as cheap as some you can get, but the quality is fantastic. And there is a lot of food on the plate. Can recommend the belly pork. Wasn't so keen on the Yorkshire pud, but I think that's down to personal preference - I prefer smaller non crispy as opposed to large. Can also recommend the cheesecake. They originally sat us next to the toilets (a thing that I believe NO restaurant should ever do), but very nicely moved us when I asked. Good selection of Belgium ales.

The young lady serving us was absolutely lovely! Unfortunately, when opening the door, one lady was particularly unwelcoming and rudely snapped at us to sit outside. Always had a lovely time here, not sure why we were greeted with such a miserable attitude. Appreciate working is unpleasant but it’s probably unnecessary.

Didn’t have either of the beers we wanted, but what we had was nice and the service as great.

Drinks only very little room shame would have liked to stay.

Amazing beers and ales!!!!! Great, friendly atmosphere 👌🏻

Was so excited tp come here, been before was amazing. Sadly food wasn't up to scratch, belgium meatballs with cherry beer sauce, more like Tinned tomatoes poured over meatballs. Did share our disappointment at Tinned tomatoes and Manager tried to assure us its made with cherry beer! Will not be going back again. Plus they add discretionary service charge, took that off and gave tip directly to waiter, who was very apologetic and embarrassed unlike the manger!

Terrible risotto, just hard dry rice, in no way was I given a creamy risotto with arborio rice, the worst dish should never have left the kitchen!

Very attentive customer service would be the highlight of this place. The food isn’t far behind either. The menu for vegetarians are decent and the wine options are extensive. The Christmas festivities were pleasing and we had a merry time out there.

I came for Bottomless brunch on a Sunday with my friend and it was amazing. Fantastic service and food would definitely recommend. If you like the cherry beer 🍒 it’s definitely worth it!

Top notch food, great selection of Belgian beers and friendly service. We got the “Dubbel Deal” which made the food incredible value for money. Highly recommend

Lucky you received 1 🌟 this place was once a thriving establishment but unfortunately has gone downhill in all aspects of food lousy. SERVICE nil still has some of its atmosphere, thank god. VERY POOR.

Can't recommend this place highly enough ...lovely cooked homely foods and massive range of Belgium beers 👍🏻👍🏻

Beautiful building- over-priced beer with very poor gluten free options. The local man at the bar was far more helpful than the bartender!

Meal booked & pre-ordered for 2pm. Served at 3.15pm. Had to ask for sides that did not arrive. The food was warm but not hot and served on cool plates. Very disappointing experience after previous meals at this venue. Serving staff did their best in very difficult circumstances. Under staffed.

Do I need to say anymore? The guy goes to Belgium every week or so to collect fresh Mussels, they are simply divine. The selection of beer is out of this world too, you must go there and try them for yourself for a true beer lovers paradise! Great staff, wish the place was bigger but it gives it more of a cosy feel.

Staff abrupt bordering on rude, shame as used to be very welcoming

Great atmosphere. Great, attentive service downstairs. Later we moved upstairs, where the ambiance was also good but the service impersonal and average. We ate risotto and a vegetarian tartiflette potato/cheese dish. The risotto was bland, dry, served in a very basic way and undercooked. The tartiflette was better, but also not great. I had expected something richer and creamier. The bread served alongside was very low quality. The food was very expensive for what it was. Many of the beers are currently £11-12/pint effectively, which I also find expensive. Great beers though, respect to the Belgian Brouwmeester.

This was a tough one. We had a long delay in getting our starters, but it was 19:30 on a Friday night. So I started to read the Trip Advisor reviews whilst waiting and some recent reviews were quite concerning. However, when the starters arrived they were great. OK, being picky the marnieres cream sauce with the moules could have had a little more zing above the cream, but it was fine. Ham and cheese croquettes were fab. The waiter said our mains were on there way but there would be a delay which we said was OK. We were then expecting a long delay but the mains arrived within a very acceptable 10 mins so he just under promised and over delivered. Mains were excellent. Being slight picky the Tartiflette was a little light on the Roblechon for my taste as I’m a big fan. As a signature dish, I had big expectations though. But we did have a very warm welcome and attentive staff (I think we had about 5 different servers though). Great beer choice, great atmosphere. A few refinements and a 5 star review is possible.

Love this place. The beer menu is to die for and the food matches this. Restaurant is full of character and not to be missed. This is my go to place when I visit Norwich.

In my opinion, the Belgian monk, isn't as good as it use to be, we visited for a meal as we've had great meals in the past, however there seemed to be a more limit menu, however we both for a tartiflette, one fish and one with spicy sausage with black pudding, I had one prawn and one peice of small salmon in the fish dish, with lots of sause, and we found three slices of sausage and a few cubes is black pudding in the other dish, and the size was much reduced from last time we visited, taste was very nice. The beer menu has Chimay on the front and inside, but they no longer sell it, disappointing.... It's still a nice place to visit, however I felt I did not get value for money for 15-16 pounds a meal with very small amount of filling. Service was attentive, chairs uncomftable, pricy food for quantity and quality.

Prices shot up, quality greatly reduced, was my favourite restaurant in the UK to be fair, now it's not in the top 50 in Norwich. New owners.

Well known in the city for its range of Belgian beers and its food. We were a party of four and seated in the bar area. Quite expensive beers but starting around £5 for a half but you probably know this when you go so no problems there. But as for the food service, where do I start?. One guy ordered a starter to have as his main but this was brought out as a starter leaving him to eat on his own as the rest of us didn't have starters. In isolation no big deal and the lady serving was apologetic but that's just the beginning. Probably over a one and a half hour wait for food for the remaining three. Again maybe not that terrible in a busy place but a couple just there for a quick meal might have been a bit disappointed. My meal of burger and chips was lukewarm at best, cheap chips that looked nothing like those served at another table. Burnt piece of bacon (extra 2 quid) and goodness knows who nicked the cheddar cheese that was meant to be there, rather limp salad also included. We decided to have a bottle of wine, mismatched glasses arrived still wet. As it was getting so late due to the delays instead of moving on we later had another bottle of wine (ordered at the bar as table service seemed to be suspended), no fresh glasses offered so we had to recycle the mismatched ones. We paid the bill which included a rather optimistic service charge of 12.5%. The service charge was a dilemma as the lady looking after us had been pleasant enough and the food quality was obviously not her fault. Also most really don't want the confrontation of asking for the charge to be removed, a fact that restaurants are well aware of. Maybe we were unlucky, maybe those in the restaurant get a better experience, its hard to know. However I wont be going back and find it hard to believe that at this price point this is the standard the business feels can be acceptable or in the long term viable.

Always a fabulous place! Clearly the prices reflect this somewhat, but I have never found myself truly shocked by the final bill as the quality of the food is simply excellent. Please keep up the good work!

Food was very good, unfortunately served on cold plates and service slow.

We don't eat 😁 Beer is delicious

The food was very nice,but the potatoes turned up when we was nearly finished,Very short on staff to ask about it and then was charged for extra costs for poor service 🤦‍♂️

We have been to the Belgian monk a few times and always had really good food but sadly this time we were left disappointed and hungry. Atmosphere- pop music in a Belgian pub. I have ran a Belgian pub before and pop music was never played. Especially missy Elliot and Taylor swift. The pub was freezing and the lady loo’s are just unfit for purpose and a hazard. Service - was slow and we could only see a few staff in, so we could understand the small delay in the drinks but not the waiting time on food. We waited over 40 minutes for our main after what was the most disappointing Camembert and what was not cranberry jam, they served pickle. The pork belly roast was so disappointing. I don’t understand how you can really mess up Sunday dinner. Over cooked roasted potatoes, soggy carrots, rock hard parsnips, red cabbage that was cold, over cooked broccoli and the small amount of gravy. The majority of the main was freezing. Only warm food on our plate was the pork and even then it had a really long hair in my Mine. My hair is brown and purple. This hair was jet black and I had to pull it from the meat in my mouth. The manager did take my meal off the bill. Overall, horrible experience, and considering we were the first people through the door at 12, I am shocked. I spent the afternoon vomiting after this meal

Been to the Belgian Monk several times over the last few years, but it seams to be going downhill, the food was not as good as it used to be and I have got to say a couple of the staff looked like they did not want to be there and made us feel very unwelcome. For that reason I doubt I will go back or recommend the place anymore. Shame as it used to be a nice place warm and welcoming….

Always loved this place and raved about it to all my friends and family but it's gone massively down hill, the price has gone up but the quality has gone down. The pork belly is now chewy when it's described as crispy, the mash is dry and the red cabbage also isn't nice. Such a shame. I asked for a glass of water with my cherry beer which never arrived, won't be coming back again.

Norwich er en veldig vakker by med et mangfold av resturanter i topp klasse. Vi valgte denne resturanten under vårt opphold her, siden min mann hadde besøkt den tidligere. Etter litt om og men kom maten, det var en helt ny servitør der, så det ble litt misforståelser, men ingenting som gjorde noe. Maten var god, og for vår del rikelige mengder, kjekk betjening, og koselig uteplass på baksiden :) :)

I went in for my first visit with lots of hope and unfortunately I was disappointed. To be fair the staff were all very pleasant and helpful but that is about the only positive I am going to add. Firstly the beer. I am a bit of a Belgian beer aficionado- especially the fruit beers l. They had a wide and varied selection on the menu but the first five chosen they had all run out of so I had to revert to a Kwak and then a standard Kriek. For a place that specialises in everything Belgian I would’ve expected that the vast majority of the beer menu would be available but the fruit beer was not. Secondly the food - we ordered the Tartiflette Espana - one for each of us. It was almost like two different dishes turned up. One had lots of lardons and hardly any chorizo, the other had lots of Chorizo and only one lardon. In addition to this these seemed to be the least cheesy tartiflettes I had every encountered - two sorry cubes were having a melting attempt on the top of the dish but they were very small. We would’ve had dessert here but having been so disappointed we decided to leave. It is also worth pointing out there is a service charge payable here on the bill - albeit discretionary. Having explained my disappointment to the waitress at the end of the meal I said I would pay for the meal but not the service charge as I really didn’t think it was worth it. It is supposed to be a specialist Belgian restaurant but please - get your beer supply lines sorted out and get your dishes consistent. On the way out I did notice lots of other people with tartiflette dishes all of which seemed to have very little cheese on them so perhaps it is just possibly the style of this restaurant but it is certainly not the style I am used to.

I really wanted to like this pub but apparently you can't mix food with the pub experience. So we were sent outside, which isn't a dining experience but we weren't allowed to sit inside because we were eating. The Belgian menu was a bit uninspiring but that could be because we weren't feeling it at the time.

Excellent lunch at good price using the Dubbel deal offer.

Wow. I thought I had gone to Brugges six weeks early. This really has the correct atmosphere, beer range and ambience to have been an authentic Belgian bar. Two flights and some superb draft beer, authentic decor plus excellent food menu all combined to make this a very pleasant afternoon visit. If only there were more like this in Kent

Been here many times back in the day but having moved away decided on a return visit to see family. It’s a great location and historic building. Booked a table upstairs. The drinks have strong prices around £4.50 for a half pint but the new options didn’t really offer much taste. The new owners were stressed & bickering but the main staff were lovely Sadly the food was poor. Meatballs bland & had bone in. The fish n chips were cheap and vinegar is given in a sachet. The mussels were nice but the crusty bread has been replaced with cheap industrial baguettes. The toilets were grim and not revamped in 15 years. The charm of the place has been lost sadly it was all below average.

Let me put the 3 stars into context immediately… I’m into my beer, and when a venue advertises that they are the only U.K. ‘ambassador’ for a beer, I want to visit to try that beer. Said beer in this case was Pais Deux, however on arrival we found that the beer was off. There goes the first star. I then looked at the draught guest beers to find the all time classic Delirium. That was off too. There goes the second star. So I ordered a bottle of Belgian IPA from Prearis, which tasted tired and old. Upon asking to see the bottle, it was out of date by 3 months. There goes another star. That being said they did change it for an in date one so *ping* that star is back! The food? It was decent, a fairly ‘classic’ Belgian offering with some straight up traditional dishes (fish & chips and burgers) Unfortunately the place was relatively empty but we did book in advance and this is advisable on a weekend Also, I’m not a fan of automatic service charges being added to bills, I’d much rather reward the service if it was good (it was). Kudos for also giving us a bottle of beer to take away as an apology for the missing draught beers. Worth a visit if you like this sort of thing, just don’t get your hopes up on the beer offering

The wife and i entered the pub and received a lovely warm welcome from Clive. We find this type of welcome very rare these days when entering pubs, restaurants etc. It meant a lot to both of us and he is a credit to the place. Keep up the good work, Clive. We will certainly be returning.

Gem. Great beer lots of choice!

Big selection of Belgian beers as expected. The food is well presented and very tasty. The staff are always helpful, well worth a visit!

I have been eating at The Belgian Monk for years and it was always outstanding but it's rapidly gone down. We visited Saturday evening and our waiter was lovely. We didn't get his name but is at Uni. Great guy. My Moules were nice but the Frites have been dummed down and are now really cheap and tasteless. My partner ordered a tartiflette with 3 types of sausage. It was 90% potato and dull and 1 type of sausage. BUT the toilets..... disgusting. Broken flush, broken toilet roll holder, dirty washbasin and very grim indeed. We won't be back again.

Amazing place huge choice of beers etc first class food very well done

bags of character, great selection of beers we tried a few. hubby had mussels which loved. I tried the tartuflette again very nice.

Enjoying beer with the Belgian menu. There is a wide range of beer options. However, the beer you order comes in half a glass... That's the Belgian style. Since they like to drink it fresh, they enjoy it in half a glass. It certainly doesn't make sense. Half a glass ends in two. And the price is much more expensive. They have created an area in the backyard where you can enjoy your meal and drink your beer. Schnitzel was overcooked and dry. French Fries absorbed the oil and burned slightly It is one of the quiet places you can visit if you come to Norway. The price-benefit ratio is not above average.

I love you little pub definitely recommend it
