This is my favorite place to have dinner in Auckland! Mussels with fries and a glass of draft beer are made for each other and you just can't miss them. Staff are very friendly and great service !
The green lipped mussels were delicious. 1kg for $25 is a must. Beer is pricey , but you need to expect that if it's imported. Anyways it was good. Highly recommend for night out.
Mussels with lobster bisque and brandy are amazing. And they're on special every Monday night!
Really nice food, staff super friendly ! Defiantly recommend especially if you have a football game to watch in the morning because they put it on !!
Amazing value and delicious mussels in creamy white wine and garlic sauce , served with frites . We also liked the Belgian sausages with stoemp (mash ). Served in a 140+ years old heritage building.
Great mussels and pack wt people especially during weekend for 1/2 price mussels
A great place to hang out with friends. The selection of beers is great and the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming!
Great lamb pie - Weds special $20. And Belgian beer is always best from the tap
Great place to unwind after work or meeting friends - friendly staff and great beer and food (then I am biased, my wife is Belgian)
Steamed Mussel with Coconut cream and Lemongrass curry is awesome!! .... 'n for those who feel like having nice mocktail ,try Shirley Temple : )
Enjoy all kinds of Belgian beery goodness. Lovely staff too.
Try the Steamed Mussels Pot - 1kg of steamed fresh mussels in pot with Lobster Bisque and Brandy favor. Excellent!!
Awesome mussels n beers ????????
Really friendly and fast service . Awesome staff . Tasty meal. Great place to be.
They brew their own beer , but it's Leffe Blonde what you need.
Yummy baked mussels ! We ate 2 mixed plates yummmmms!
Leffe Blonde is wonderful. And a small order of Belgian frite is ample for two people.
Mussels are soood!! And you have more than 100 belgian beers ;)
*Hiccup* itz grate! The staf are vwry knwlegible!
This was my second visit. The beef schnitzel wasn't too tender and the breading was falling off. Mussels were too chewy. It looks that it very depends on who is in the kitchen. Our drinks were wrong.
Very good steamed mussels ! & of course the Belgian Beer !
Steamed Mussels , Coriander and Lemon with Belgian beer !!! Brilliant!!
Nice spot for a cold beer !
Wide variety of beers little bit slow on service beers on labour day cause only 2 staff members at the front
Mixed grill mussels and blue cheese mussels are delicious!
Just a really cool lively place
Leffe brune. Nice beer . If u like dark and slight fruit
Begians beer are the best!
Steamed Mussels and belgian beer , perfect combination!
We Went there today ( july 24 around 7 pm) and were being asked for the local id or hard copy of passport, we did not bring it and one of the waitress (black hair, pony tail) gave the WORST attitude????
Best Mussels In A Pot!! Yum!! Try the Blue Cheese Mussels !! The Best!!
Watch out for Amber - she is trouble! (In a good way)
Nice staff , great food! ????????
Belgium beers , good service and Angus steak was good
Remember to get 1kg of Mussels for each! :)
Great service - even with a full house. Tasting tray is a great intro to Belgian beer
Amazing mussels !!!
During evenings busy and seemed a dirty/messy place to me somehow
The NZ green lip mussels 1KG!!
If you like a crowd and bar food it's great
Great live music ! Try the beer 'Pauwel Kwak', ask for the original glass! Enjoy it!
Coconut milk and curry mussels are great! + a glass of cold chardonnay
Be prepared to wait at least 45minutes for your food. The grilled mussels were good, and do not order lime and Cajun mussels unless you like sour fusion.
Apparently the first pub in Auckland. Awesome spot
Quiz night on Tuesday night!
Mussels in lobster bisque , the best!!!
Good food.
Leffe Brune is delicious.
curry mussels and garlic mushroom cream mussels are the best !
The waffels are awesome
