Belgian Café

We initially decided to go here to see a soccer match. The Intercontinental Hotel looked lovely and we expected the food to be excellant. We were so wrong! The pork ribs were delicious but my salmon was swimming in an inch of tastless oil. Slices of potatoes were floating in it and it was tasteless. My husband loves lamb but although he asked for medium rare it was well done and dry. He also left his meal. My friend got a chicken dish that had greasy breaded coating and dry chicken which was awful. Her husband ordered a steak which he enjoyed. We asked for salt and pepper and both had salt in them. This was the worst meal I have had. We were given 25% discount and an apology. We paid and left.

Belgian Café Abu Dhabi is an absolute favorite! The warm, inviting ambiance paired with waterfront views creates the perfect atmosphere to unwind. The food is consistently delicious—perfectly cooked mussels, crispy fries, and juicy steaks are a must-try. Kids menu also available with perfect selections. The staff are friendly, attentive, and always smiling. Whether you’re here for a weekend brunch, or dinner with friends, the experience is always top-notch. A true gem for food lovers and a 5/5 across the board for quality, service, and atmosphere. Special thanks for the professional & friendly staff : Swastika Sunita

Authentic vibes, great food, and a fantastic atmosphere! Last week I had a wonderful experience at Belgium Café in Abu Dhabi. The ambiance is warm and inviting perfect for a relaxed evening with friends or colleagues. The food was excellent: freshly prepared, full of flavor, and nicely presented. I especially recommend the mussels and fries a true Belgian classic! The staff was friendly, attentive, and professional throughout the visit. There’s also a great selection of drinks, and the outdoor seating area offers a lovely view, especially in the evening. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a cozy spot with quality food, good service, and a chilled-out vibe.

The Belgian Café at the Intercontinental Hotel is a great spot with a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere overlooking the marina. It’s a perfect place to unwind, especially when there’s live entertainment outside adding to the vibe. The selection of Belgian beers is impressive — strong, rich flavors that beer lovers will appreciate. It would be nice, though, to see a few more lighter options added to the menu for those looking for something a bit easier to drink in the heat. Overall, a fantastic place to spend an evening!

I am surprised the average score reaches 4.4 to he honest. The food quality is quite below expectation which I definitely cannot use delicious to describe. The ingredients are not fresh such as the chicken wings. The Caesar salad has too much sauce that you could easily feel greasy after eating a bit. We ordered ribeye it is ok but not worth money based on such quality. I won’t recommend especially the atmosphere is not remarkable either, non-smoking area are just near by the smoking place that you could imagine.

I love this place, the ambiance is suitable for all kinds of occasions as well if you just need some space by yourself this is the place to come. Tonight I was greeted and taken care by Ms.Rumi, Ayush, Naseeb. They were so sweet and warm made me feel at home :) also the Chef Mr.Dahal prepared some delicious meals and was very nice to chat with . Thank you @BelgianCafe Team you guys are the best

I ate at Belgian Cafe twice while staying at the Intercontinental Hotel. The food here was pretty average compared to other restaurants at the hotel and in the area. I was pretty surprised at how busy it often was in the evenings and other high ratings. I reserve my High ratings for really amazing food, service, and value. The signature sauce Mussel Pot was actually pretty heavy, too creamy for mussels, and I wish I had ordered something more simple and traditional. The salmon I had on my second visit was much better prepared. In both instances service was unpredictable, as the servers could be attentive one moment, and then overwhelmed by the volume of patrons the next. After my second meal there, I would say it was good, but I did not see any reason to return. I suppose if you enjoy beer and pub food, this restaurant would be more appealing.
