It’s been long time since I enjoyed it. Still the Belgian cafe is the same good place.Nowadays they offer Happy Hour from 3pm. to 7pm. everyday including Weekend. Part of drinks is half price and you can use entertainer voucher for the food also.The most famous one in Belgian cafe, mussel pot garlic&cream is good enough even each shell is too small. Chicken schnitzel is crispy tasty. Definitely I’ll visit again sooooon. Love it.

Great place to have drink after a long working week. Good environment, location and service. I want to admit that food choice is not that big however its good and with nice portions. Highly recommend this place if you are into sport bars!

Belgian Cafe is a signature place in Abu Dhabi. Very friendly atmosphere, tasty food and drinks, bog screen for Euro Cup! What else can you expect?

If you are a Vegan , this place is not for you.It’s still ok if you are a vegetarian but still have extremely limited options and fair to say while the Vegeterian Burger is “Healthy” it is loaded with carbs .I tried the vegetable burger which comes with fries and it was absolutely delicious ( slightly worried about the carb loading )Pretty expensive compare to other places in Yas and I would rather prefer Yas Marina over it.

Mussels are great. Nice ambience especially outdoors. Attentive service from wait staff Brenda, and manager Nadia.

Rude hostess, dirty smelly atmosphere don’t recommend

Restaurant is very smoky due to the smoking area being inside and not enclosed. Food is pricey for the ingredients used but still tastes ok. Portions are over sized so consider sharing to save money. No wifi is also a big pain with kids or anyone for that matter. However, the staff are great and service is fast. Experience is not what it used to be and I will probably not return.

It is always a pleasure to come back to brunch at the Belgian Beer Cafe where you are welcomed and serenaded beautifully by the chill jazz duo. Excellent food menu that youd simply have to try all. The barbecue bar, amazing. Special thanks to Chef Albert for always making sure all guests get to experience nothing but the best! Highly recommended.

My waiter told me it was happy hour, so I ordered a beer, but it didnt actually start for 15 more mins, so they charged me full price and refused to give me the happy hour price. The money isnt an issue, but feeling deceived after I had a pint permanently ruined my opinion of this place. On top of that, the food is mediocre -- vegetarian options are particularly bad.

This is a great place: good ambiance and food! This is one of my favorite places in Abu Dhabi for mussels and drinks. On Tuesdays, you have a special deal in mussels plus a drink. Every day you have a special deal. I highly recommend this place.

We keep on coming back to Belgian Cafe, the ambiance, food, staff, especially Kesu, he’s the best. We always have a good time every time we visit the place. It’s a must for everyone who’s staying or planning to visit Yas Island. Nothing to complain. Thumbs up!

This is a Belgian pup located in the first floor of Radisson Blu Hotel, the place has an excellent atmosphere and the staff is very friendly, they offer most of the evening a happy hour 50% off from 5pm to 7pm and on weekends they offered a buffet menu with different options.

It is Belgian Beer - What more can I say ?Check the Menu before coming here. I prefer the Menu at BBC InterCon Abu Dhabi.One advantage it is quiet. There are several other eateries with walking distance.One good thing - The Beer is Cold :)

Mussels were fantastic and the portion was more than ample. It would be amazing if they could move the whole restaurant so ti had a view of the Yas Links and the amazing sunsets that part of Abu Dhabi gets. I would probably never leave :-)

The food is OK, but the service is very slow when the place is busy. During quiter times the service is better. It is a lively place with big screen TVs and it can be a bit noisy at times. Good selection of beer.

They do a great job during COVID and this hot weather where we have to be inside to social distance . We had 7 so had to have 2 tables , socially distanced . Friends had mussels , other seafood and burgers and loved their meals and beer selection. I am GF and VG and had very nice options as well

Its a great place for those whore regulars at their Dubai outlets. Ambience, menu and great rates. The supervisor, Anshul and the conversant bartender, Courage made our evening special by adding a touch of secret spice to our Belgian fries!

Its a nice go to place before attending any content in Du Arena. It was busy and crowded but nice cause the lay out of the place I guess, it allows you to keep to yourself even when the place was bustling. And by accident we came there during their happy hour so all drinks were 50 percent off. I ordered their Steak Tartare which was lovely.

Place was very quiet for a Friday. Regardless was with a big group and the staff overcharged us and couldnt understand that we paid in full plus tips and then they charged a friend on a separate bill something already paid. Alls good. People make mistakes, but they realize and apologize after, not give more attitude.

Wow experience .. No words to describe our dinner. Albert is the real host- he arrange all as per our capricious demandinds in the best way. Really impressed with the service. Our short stay cation in AD became much better after this place. Will recommend to anyone--worth a visit! Thank you guys

Great place to spend time with friends and unwind after a week at work. Indoor/outdoor seating. If you love beer, its your place to go. Im more suited a cocktail beach bar, but enjoy the pub vibe and people.

I generally stay in the Radisson Blu Yas Island for my extended business trips and the Belgium Beer Café is my go to place most nights for a couple beers/cidres and dinner. It has two awesome happy hours specials every night (17:00-19:00 and 22:00-24:00). Good selection of draft beer and a ton of great bottled selections. The food is always tasty with huge portions. I don’t believe I’ve had anything I do not like. Although I particularly like the bangers and mash and schnitzels here. There’s always live sports on multiple screens around the entire place. I doubt there is any table that can’t see one of them. The manager and all the staff are super friendly and always stops to say hello. Definitely check it out if you are around the Yas Island area or just need a couple tasty beers. Amazing service all around. Highly recommended!

Ambiance was ok, staff were excellent, food was great. Ordering half portion adult meals for children is a brilliant idea, as options are healthier and children like the variety of not having nuggets or spaghetti!

Review №77

After being seated by the server for lunch, she came back and asked us to cover our shoulders as they had a dress code, looked around and saw many more people, ladies in particular wearing sleeveless tops/dresses, the only difference I have shoulder arm tattoos. Anyway as the people looked on we were very embarrassed and shocked so decided to leave. Went to the restaurant in the hotel next door and got served my lunch with no such issues, paying 400aed! Remember it’s a pub that serves beer and grilled food, in a hotel, 50ft from the pool, nothing special, it’s 2019 get with the times and respective all your customers

Stopped by yesterday for lunch and a brew. Staff was excellent Jenny and Kiran were both attentive and so accommodating. Best Belgian Beer Cafe in Abu Dhabi area. We order chicken wings and fries of course. Main course was the fish and chips. OMG it was so good and the portion so large. Totally worth the money. We will be back soon. Decided to do my Birthday party there in April after this visit. Thanks again!! to everyone there.

When we came for dinner and our favorite Krik bear, this beer was in stop list, than we order cider which was also in stop list. Unpleasant experience because we was driving to yas Belgian cafe from the city for 40 mins and both our beer choices was on stop list! (( so finaly we left, after wasting our time. Good that there is more places like that in abu dhabi, and we moved to another Belgian cafe.
