SO YUM! loved the vibe of this restaurant - really classic warm night dinner ambiance, with great menu options. we were at first seated at the bar because the restaurant was packed with reservations, but after ordering some drinks we were quickly moved to a table! the house beers served here are so good and refreshing! I ordered the classic belgian mussels, which were at a great price, and cooked in chili and cream. the sauce was the perfect amount of spice and flavor! the fries were honestly the highlight of the dish. they were fried to perfection with a soft interior and the most uniform crispy inside i've ever tried. gorg. the caesar salad was also delicious, with a depth of flavor i have never tried as much anywhere else. overall great experience! read more

Great food. Mussels and Pommes Fritte are their specialty but they have a full menu also. Cozy atmosphere and a very enjoyable meal.

- food was ok. Nothing special. My husband and I shared a pot of mussels and it was literally a thin cold pot so it isn't like they stayed warm as we ate them. - wine was as expected Service- well, they don't know what that word means. I witnessed tables outside walking into the bar to get their own drinks. We would have gladly had a second glass of wine but after our drinks and food were plopped on our table we never saw our waiter again until we hunted him down for our check. read more

I have travelled far and wide. I do not expect much. Belgobaren has the worst service I've ever experienced. The food is fine. The beer is great. The waiter is rude and nothing can make up for being so thoroughly ignored. Do not eat here. read more

Belgobaren - Sausages - Belgian Near Me - Stockholm, Alberta

We grabbed some dinner here the other night and were grateful to find as place that stays open later, that's always inevitably when the hungers hit..about 15 minutes after all the kitchens close. Despite this place being packed with groups grabbing some beers on a Friday night, we were greeted as soon as we walked in and shown to a table that was cozied up right next to several others. The dining and bar space is all mixed so in one small room you have a few tables with 5 or so chairs each, a long bar with seating, and then a long L shaped booth with little tables so you can sit close and intimate with the stranger next to you. We were just thankful to get a seat and cuddled up to the group of Swedish youngsters drinking next to us..either the drinking age is younger than I thought in Sweden or I'm just getting old guys. Our server was helpful in guiding me on gf options on the menu which were numerous. Our food was out in no time and I nommed some delicious lobster soup with gf garlic bread and shared my mushroom and chevre cheese risotto with the husband. The husband hates mushrooms but it was so full of delicious cheeses and topped with arugula and chopped hazelnuts he kept risking a mushroom by repeatedly digging in. He also had the club sandwich and fries which he said was great. Due to the general ruckus and snuggly proximity to our youthful neighbors we were ready to go as soon as we finished and our server was great about bringing our tab over right away. Overall, reasonable prices, good food and large portions, and spot on service. read more

Belgobaren has become one of my top favorite places to dine if I were to visit Stockholm again in the near future. My cousin told me about their famous mussels dish and great selection of beers, so I was more than curious because I'm a big fan of mussels! BREAD AND TAPENADE (4/5): The bread wasn't the softest, and the olive tapenade was kind of bland. Not as "juicy" and oily as I've had before. 1/2 KILO MUSSELS (5/5): I got mine with the wine and cream broth (there were other options too), and I was blown away by the flavors and the garnished greens that topped off the whole thing. It was soupy, creamy, and meaty at the same time. We enjoy this dish with a nice cold beer and loved it. It ended up being a light, tasteful dinner. read more

The service is horrible The food horrible I order a simple hamburger and it was ... terrible read more

This is a nice discovery (by pure coincidence) right off the mon road that leads to Gamla Stan and right across from the train station . Well worth it, though, as their Belgian menu provides good choices whether you like seafood, meat or you are vegetarian. Their beer selection could be better as they only have 10 types. Service was slow, to begin; it room forever to sit us down even though they were not super buy. I had the mussel bucket with the creamy white whine sauce. Service, during the meal, was exceptional. read more

Lovely restaurant with cozy decor. Went late on a Thursday night and the place was still busy. Had the mussels in lobster cream sauce. It was delicious!! House red wine was also good. Staff was attentive. read more

Fantastic selection of Beer. Some of them are served in specific fancy looking glasses/mug, pretty cool!! During the week, they run some specials for you to try out different kinds of beer for a lesser price. Weekends usually tend to get crowded, but the good thing about this place is that you don't find any of the unruly young crowd since the beer prices are slighly higher. read more

Mussels - other reviewers know these better than I do but everyone I have take here who is a Mussels person loves the selection and the choices. I like the menu in general and have not had a bad meal here ever (7 years). There is a smaller summer menu, but you can always find something excellent any time of the year. The burger is state of the art and if you are really hungry, that choice will fix it quick. Fries with mayo are a must do. Beer selection is absolutely top shelf. If you are looking for a wide range of Trappist beers you can do no better! And... its Stockholm! read more

Pretty good place in Stockholm's main shopping area downtown. Jack, the owner, has a slew of special beers made exclusively for his bars by Struise, De Molen, Ducato, etc. All of these "Black Jack" beers can be found here usually, all of which are exquisite and worth stopping in for. We were able to meet up with Jack, chat beer stuff, and then tour some of the Monk's Cafe locations which is also owns. This place specializes in Belgian beers and has IIRC some Westy beers but at a little bit of a markup. Oddball Struise beers were on tap. Pretty enormous bottle list. Definitely worth stopping in to find a few one-off rarities. Did not try the food though. read more

Damn fine beer selection, adequate food, mediocre service. This place was appealing due to its proximity to our hotel on a night when we had walked our legs off and just wanted a place to restore ourselves and watch some European Cup football. Unfortunately, our waiter was also very interested in the game. It took a while to get both our beer and our food, so I was pretty salty by the time I actually got to eat. The husband got a nice fish and seafood stew, and I had a good shrimp pasta. Belgobaren did its job, just very slowly. read more

Belgobaren has a wide selection of beer from ...eh,,,Belgium. However there is no menu for all the beers neither does the small beer menu that does exist tell anything about what type of beers it is. It simply tells the name, alcohol and price more or less which is to no help at all. We had a waiter that seemed to know very little about beer which seems odd at a place like this, so I wouldn't trust the waiters tips for beer if I were you. Talk to the guy in the bar instead. For dinner I had the burger and even though the portion was good considering the somewhat steep price it could have done with a little more dressing and spice. It was acompanied by great fries, a bland coleslaw and mayonnaise which made the dinner ok. No other sauces or spices was offered to accompany the burger which seemed odd, (I am sure they use ketchup also in Belgium for burgers, if however not for fries). The service was good but not perfect. My friends who ordered seafood were very satisfied with their meal. I have been here many times and will continue to come, but in first place for the beer, not the food. For a better beer selection and a better menu/knowledge about them I strongly recommend Pressklubben ( even though the food there is nothing special in my opinion) read more

Went there a couple of times and must say the amount of beers is impressive. The food on its turn is ok. The menu goes along with the menus in Belgium: there's a mussels season (a variety of sauces), there's the asparagus season, etc. The number of sauces in which the mussels are served differ a bit from the five or six typical ones that are offered in Belgium, but I guess that they are adapted to the local taste. They also have the beef stew: very good one time, a bit less tasty another time. In general is this a nice place to have a quick dinner, but I suppose that the majority of the people come for the variety of beers. read more

Stumbled in off the street jet-lagged on a cold snowy night and looking for a special dinner for one. FOUND IT! Good pub atmosphere, connected to a hotel, lots of draft beer, and "Moules" -- mussels. I happen to really like mussels. They serve them in a variety of sauces. I had a kilo of mussels in a sauce of sausage cream in addition to the usual garlic, celery, onion, and wine. Need to go back and try the classic sauce. read more

This was a very enjoyable meal. They have a rather respectable wines-by-the-glass list, and the Moreau & Fils Chablis was excellent. The shrimp scampi was the best I've ever had. The entree was only slightly less stellar. I ordered the rack of lamb, which was just a touch undercooked and somewhat lacking in actual meat on the bone. But it had a wonderful reduction sauce, and the scalloped potatoes were divine. The Australian shiraz was a little green and disappointing but better once it opened up a bit. The service was relatively attentive, although the time lapse between the appetizer and entree was a bit more lengthy than expected (although admittedly I did not order both at the same time, which could explain the delay). On the restaurant side (vs. the bar side) you'll find a very warm, intimate--even romantic--atmosphere. Overall, great experience. read more

Discovered this enjoyable restaurant after our transatlantic flight. Delightful staff and good food.

A lot of belgian beers, with a very good menu: what else (for a belgian lost in Sweden?).

My wife and I felt like some Moules Frites, and they delivered nicely. They offer a variety (8?) of preparations, and are top notch. Very crowded, but it was a Friday night, so you might consider reservations. read more

We absolutely loved this place. Great dinner outside since we did not have reservations. We split a bucket of mussels with a glass of white wine and I enjoyed a dessert of creme brûlée and lingonberries while my husband enjoyed the Belgian waffles with ice cream. Service was fantastic. read more
