The steak (nice and warm, cooked to perfection) and fries (which I ordered rare) was really good, the passion fruit cocktail was sweet and refreshing. Recommend the place.

We love all the mussels choices & with fries :D Yummy!!

This place is amazing! Best Belgium beers in Auckland. Call before going in case is too empty and they close doors early. Take someone special late in the afternoon: you'll get to see Rangitoto. ❤️

Happy hour and the daily specials (today was the 1/2 price mussels)

Steak is all right, but ask for one temperature cooler than you want - I asked for medium rare and it arrived medium. Health and safety is ruining my meat

Mussels here are amazing. Even better than Belgium. Go on Monday for half price

The balcony upstairs is the best place to sit!

Meals were served without cutlery as they ran out of forks! We had to wait over 5 minutes looking at our full plates and considering using our hands. Waffles are made of crepe batter not brioche dough

First time so first impressions...food is ok, atmosphere is great and service is crap. Been watching our waiter linger and yap at other tables, in the meantime we're waiting to be served. Sort it out.

If it's a cold day, you may want to avoid the upper floor....

Very nice drinks but didn't even get our second round of drinks after ordering.

You cannot go past a Leffe Blonde. Happy Hour 6pm to 7pm weekdays, 9pm to 10 weekends. Smakelijk - Bon Appetit!

Try the "Belgisch Bier" passport challenge. 24 of the smoothest Belgian beers in one sitting

Don't miss out on the Monday half price mussels bargain! But this place is always busy!!
Brook WarnerAugust 16, 2011
Order the Golden Draak. Its not on the menu, but the bar staff know what it is...
Nick MenziesJune 18, 2011
Awesome mussells with ginger and lemon grass
Anthony YanMay 28, 2010
In order to book a table you need 10+ people, otherwise - goodluck trying to get a table when it's busy
Chris MulhollandSeptember 17, 2011
Stick to the seafood when dining here. They do it so well
Julian WatersApril 8, 2011
Found the service prompt, friendly and professional - they must have upped their game
Kev MitchellNovember 12, 2010
11.50 for 500ml of Stella brewed in Auckland, just because they dip your glass in a sink of cold water. At least dick Turpin wore a mask

Mussels are great here!
Peter HsiehDecember 27, 2012
Mussel pot duh!!
Nick HodgsonAugust 26, 2015
Very poor service when busy and food decidedly average. Cannot argue with the beer selection however.
Philippa WardDecember 22, 2010
Great food and drink, but the service here is always slow
Christopher DuganNovember 9, 2010
Lovely venue, lovely view... Waiting over an hour for your food whilst drinking way over priced beer. Complete CRAP!!!!!
Sophie ParkerJune 20, 2010
Belle-Vue Cherry Berry is amazing :)
Aaron BellJanuary 10, 2014
After 35 minutes after being seated and then ignored got thirsty and hungry and had to leave. Wasn't busy and terrible service.

One word: Duvel.
