The best Belgian inspired restaurants in Liverpool

Albert’s Schenke brightens up the corner of Hanover Street, with its inviting lighting and open fire pit. Book a table for food in the Cook Haus or a table in the Bier Tavern for drinks. The menu offers classics such as Black Forest ham, egg and chips, gorgeous chocolate and mascarpone cake, and a stout sticky toffee pudding. 

Meanwhile, the drinks selection revolves mainly around bier, with local craft brews, as well as those from Belgium, Munich, Bohemia and further afield, making up the selection of over 20 on tap. We definitely recommend this place if you like to try something new! 

Not to be confused with Albert’s Schenke, Albert’s Schloss is the more rowdy little sister. Opening in late 2022, this is a new edition to the Bold Street family of bars, restaurants and shops. Think bier haus but with drag queens and people dancing on the tables! The venue serves a great selection of worldwide beers, as well as cocktails and great food including indulgent Alpine dishes such as Schweinshaxe, Spaetzle and Fondue with a modern Schloss twist. Schloss Klassics also include crispy Stiegl bier-battered fish and chips, Coquille Pretzel pie, Paprikash chicken and many more amazing dishes! This is a great place to let your inhibitions go and have a sing-song with your friends watching a live band and incredible entertainers.

Bierkeller is located in the city centre with a dedicated ‘Biergarten’ that overlooks the Albert Docks, offering amazing views from an elevated height. But if you would rather imagine yourself on holiday in Belgium sipping on some deliciously strong beer, then Bierkeller is the place to be. This quirky restaurant and bar offers beer served in ice cold steins. Enjoy live entertainment and the authentic decor for a party suitable for any occasion. Expect everyone in here to be singing at the top of their lungs and dancing on the tables! As well as a wide selection of alcoholic beverages in the main bar, there’s also a smaller, quieter bar that serves food and is better suited if you want to chat rather than sing.

Einstein Bier Haus is Liverpool’s newest day-to-night venue in Concert Square, set over two floors with hearty food, great bier, sport and live music. Each month at Einstein the team selects a new delicious beer from around the world for you to enjoy as part of the ‘Beer of the Month’ offer, with everything from ABK to Staropramen. You’ll be able to get your hands on a two-pint stein for only £8 every day (excluding Sundays), so be sure to go and give it a try! There are also over 20 different types of beer from all around the world, so you can get a taste of Belgium from the comfort of Liverpool city centre. 

Einstein has an impressive capacity of 1,200 and its three levels of bars take up what was formerly Walkabout. The outdoor balcony addition makes it a prime location to kickback for after-work drinks, game days or a night out with pals. Add that to its cabaret sets, daily live music acts, shuffleboard and delicious munchies such as barbarian sausages and loaded fries, and you’ve got yourself a party.

Set in the heart of Liverpool’s world famous Cavern Quarter and taking its inspiration from the beer halls, the Kaiserkeller is Matthew Street’s go-to destination for football fixtures and all top sporting events. Regular entertainment is also provided in the form of live oompah bands, in addition to a variety of quality beers including Belgium’s famous Blue Moon. Food platters include fries, bratwurst and pretzels to create the ultimate entertainment experience.

The legend that is Moose Coffee is THE best place to go for all of your breakfast and coffee desires. Does your heart, head and stomach crave waffles? Well, take your pick between two hot Belgian waffles served with Canadian maple syrup and butter, or two served with four slices of smoked streaky bacon and maple syrup. If that isn’t enough, Moose Coffee also offers a huge variety of sweet and savoury sides, so you can build your dream waffle! Sides include everything from chocolate spread to peanut butter or if you fancy something more savoury, eggs and steak! The portions here are huge so make sure you leave your belt at home and wear loose trousers! There are three locations dotted around Liverpool, so you’ll never be too far away from a Belgian waffle and a delicious cup of coffee.
