Belgian Monk

As we were walking through the city
We came across this old pub
Selling Belgium larger and beers
Renowned for great food at a very reasonable price
You will like the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the restaurant area
Also outside seating too
Well recommended for couples and groups

It’s a very cute little old restaurant building with two levels and a basement, that of a medieval design. We had wines and pan fried liver and beef stew. Both come with stoemp, a typical mashed potato with cream and veg. I find the liver over fried and beef a little too tough. I asked for a non dairy stoemp which the restaurant kindly provided. Wasn’t too impressed with the food but wines are good.

I personally have never actually eaten here before but my guest had, I have heard that the food was good, we chose to be seated outside as it was a lovely evening, our waitress was perfect she new every dish on the menu, & was extremely helpful. The drinks came quickly & the food was worth the slight wait.
Very good portions and well presented both meals were season correctly even one to the vingaret on the salads.
I would highly recommend anyone visiting or thinking about eating out in Norwich.
Unfortunately I have to add to my last review, everything has gone down hill, so to speak.. No communication between staff food was bland service was terrible food wasn't great poor presentation.
So.much so I wouldn't go back there to eat at all.. very disappointing.

The Belgian Monk is a fantastic pub nestled in the Norwich Lanes. We recently discovered their courtyard is dog friendly so have been visiting more as we can pop in if we’re in town but have our dog with us. I’m usually a cider drinker but the fruit beers they have on offer are so yummy. My favourites are the lindeman’s apple beer and the raspberry beer. There is sooo much choice for other beers though! We are always served by enthusiastic & friendly staff and the food is also delicious! Highly recommended The Belgian Monk!! 🍻

Beautiful building, but a bit tight seating indoors, upstairs better, has second bar up there too. Food without salt, made it tasteless even after putting salt on, my boyfriend enjoyed his meal more. Had traditional potatoe dish (massive portion) and meatballs. Definitely perfect place to sample lots of different beers

Lovely place. Friendly and attentive staff.
Good choice of Belgium beers so many hard to choose. Food was also good and authentic. Similar choices to a resent trip to Brussels

Food was extremely affordable when we went with the 2 meals at lunchtime for £15.50, and in no way did the price detract from the quality or quantity! The menu had a huge selection and all the food we tried was very well made. They also have a wide range of Belgian beer and some cider to round out the experience. Will definitely be back to try some more of the menu!

Popped in without a reservation and was lucky to get a seat, although was asked to move upstairs after 10 minutes so another customer could sit where we were and wasn’t sure why this was needed (although not complaining as we were happy to move). Unfortunately felt a little rushed with ordering but this was understandable since it was very busy, I was catching up with a friend and chatting away so would have appreciated a bit more time with the menu, especially since having looked at the menu online I’ve realised all the delicious things available that I didn’t actually see that I would have preferred (again not their fault as I should’ve looked closer!) I absolutely loved the look of this place and how cosy it feels. The food and drink is a delicious although a little expensive, but would definitely return to try more of their menu!
