Reviews of Belgique Wanstead Cafe
A. H.
Amazing place... was sceptical after reading a couple of reviews but then we decided to give it a try. And it was a completely opposite experience. Just loved every bit of it..!! Lovely staff and tasty food... will be back again.
D. F.
This is a nice place for a good coffee and a big variety of desserts always fresh and always looking delicious.
In photos: irish cream coffee and gold chocolate praline dessert.
Great service, and friendly stuff members on each our visit.
I'll recommend to visit in less busy hours to avoid overcrowding, and most important, waiters/waitresses will be less stressed, will take and bring your orders on time, and you'll be able to enjoy the atmosphere.
S. P.
This place is incredible. Nice location, a stone throw away from Wanstead Station. Ample parking on the side roads. Halal food and a great range of options.
On a warm summers day, this place is the ultimate place to enjoy your breakfast, lunch, tea time and evening meal. They have a huge variety of desserts, cakes, snacks. Along with a good range of burgers, fish, chips, pasta and so much more.
The quality of the food and service is excellent. Go and treat yourself.

Delicious halal breakfast, tasty burgers and lovely fresh cakes and pastries. Nice place to go in the summer! Can get very busy. Recommend the lemon and coconut pastry (picture included)
R. a.
Ordering a birthday cake online has never been easier. The cake was so amazing. Better than the photos online! So much care was taken to make it and it was perfect (and tasted exceptionally good!). Collection is from your nearest branch and the Wanstead Team were so polite and took care when handing over the cake at collection. Trustworthy and reliable. Thank you
G. S.
Food and presentation was good
Service from staff used to be a lot better as they were more attentive
S. N.
Great outdoor seating with heating. My friend ordered the veggie burger with a green smoothie. It was simple and filling. I got the pesto pasta, large portion and yummy. I also got the mint hot chocolate which was decent.
R. L.
I enjoyed a good lunch at this popular restaurant in Wanstead. The staff were pleasant, and they have covered outdoor seating, as well as quite a large indoor area. The service could have been quicker, but they were busy and I was not really in a hurry.
P. E.
Have to say, worth the try. I live in Essex and I've been passing by while running in front of it for years and always find it appealing. Decide to go today with the wifey and kids for a brunch. Despite most places struggling with the surge of customers eager to eat alfresco again, the service was swift and effecient. The place was packed for Sunday brunch, food was properly cooked and tasty (I had egg royale and my wife an egg benedicte, my daughter rib eye was cooked perfectly). To top it up, service from Marius and Javier was first class. We definitely gonna come back and bring friends and family!!!
J. O.
I have found my dream cafe, seriously. I would just eat everything to try it out. Everything looks so delicious and it tastes delicious. I had a vanilla creme and fresh fruit slice and I have had one like this from any bakery. This is pattiserie which also serve breakfast and brunch. And it is Halal too. I would give 10 stars 🤩
L. T.
Food came out quickly and wasn't that bad actually. The massive breakfast for £20 is enough for 2 to share. The cakes are the standout pieces and are very nice, as good as Patisserie Valerie. Large cappuccino is enormous! Only thing is the service is so variable - one of the servers was brilliant and couldn't do enough, yet another one was so uninterested in being there and impossible to get her attention.
S. T.
I was here Sunday, after being informed of the small changes that took place. Glad I visited, its a great place. Loved the quiet atmosphere but more surprisingly the food. The Salt beef bagel is great. Also had scones, fresh and soft and lovely mojito. This place has just become my regular for afternoon, chilled out, brunch. I haven't tried the pizza, but one table ordered 6...i guess I missed out (next time!)
K. M.
Nice restaurant with good selection of breakfast/light lunch choices. We had a drink and shared a cake as they are rather large for one person.
Cake was absolutely delicious and plenty for us to share. Loads of choice and all looked fresh.
Only reason it's not 5 stars is because it's fairly expensive, to eat in our cake was £4.50 but seeing as it's opposite the green it's in a great location
F. A.
An interesting spot.. went there on a recommendation. The staff is very friendly and ambience is good. Went on a weekday and it was really busy. The service was prompt and we were served straight away. I had the eggs royale (served on a brioche, not an English muffin.. not convinced), and the Mrs had the florentine. The food was decent but the desserts in this place are amazing! Thay being said their afternoon tea looks a better deal and would probably have that next time we visit. Decent spot overall.
R. B.
Nice place to have some lunch. Went on Sunday so fairly busy but service was still very good. Food was very good & reasonable portions. Make sure you keep some room for cakes & dessert which I think are made on site & look amazing.
J. Š.
Food and deserts were amazing. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Definitely coming back! Recommend!
I. M.
Lovely place with very friendly staff. Their food is good - salmon is perfectly cooked (not over cooked). The only thing I would fancy is a little more spice (most of their vegetarian options don't have a "kick", nevertheless tasty).
If you visit, their fruit tart is THE BEST fruit tart I have EVER tasted!! MUST TRY!! Can't recommend their fruit tart enough!! Expensive but well worth it👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
A. C.
Great menu, food is fresh and good quality. Dessert choice is amazing. Outdoor seating area is good size and great in summer. Staff are pleasent, service is relaxed bordering on slow but it fits the vibe of the cafe and you are not rushed to leave either.
i. k.
Food was awesome and friendly atmosphere.
J. N.
Food was ok, cakes are good, service was slow 45 minutes for coffees to be served from ordering. One the desserts chosen was clearly not available today, instead we were given something totally different, without telling us. When queried we were told it was what we ordered, but clearly was not!! We asked for the item to be removed from the bill, which was done. Sadly we will not be in a rush to return.
Z. A. M.
Nice ambience and friendly staff add to the experience. It's nice to be outdoors but in an enclosed placed. It helped the sun was out.
The food was good, portion slightly small. It was decorated to look fuller than it was. The staff were friendly, helpful and created a friendly, comfortable experience.
I had a egg and avocado on brown toast.
M. F.
Highly recommend Belgique in Wanstead. The atmosphere, food and friendly staff are exceptional.
You have just got to try the lamb shank, it’s the best. I’m so glad we have Belgique.

Customer service 10/10. One of the waiters smiled at me, told me they loved my curls AND complimented both mine and my brother's eyes. 100% would recommend.
M. R.
Good service, nice ambiance and tasty hot chocolate and pastries. Menu has an excellent varied selection. Very large and well covered outside seating area.
I.
My sister bought me to this lovely place when I visited London. What can I say, my five stars says it all. Staff were lovely, so accommodating, food was delicious, hot & fresh. There cakes are to die for, not forgetting there wide range of pasties and sandwiches. I’ve been told only recently they have started serving Halal food due to new ownership which is a massive bonus….. Love, love this place, they even do breakfast too.

This venue has very delicious cakes which comes with a taste of quality. The cakes here seem to have very authentic ingredients. They are currently compliant with the covid rules so take away only. They have all sorts of cakes for any purpose. There is parking by the side which if you are just passing by to buy something seems alright however its residential.

I thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant. I found it to be spacious and clean and the service was excellent. The food was served swiftly and the children also thoroughly enjoyed both the menu and treatment they recieved. The coffee and cakes are both amazing and overall I would recommend this cafe highly.
K. S.
Bought for Christmas, New Years and for Valentines day!! Cannot love them enough. Superior quality food items and extremely friendly and helpful staff. I travel from Chingford and don't might the journey.
A. S.
Actually pretty good today. Service is usually absolutely terrible but this afternoon was fine
P. D.
The waiting staff are clearly not trained properly if at all. Saying that, everyone of them is polite and doing the best they know. Train these kids!
C. A.
Food is nice but the service is not great at all. They mixed up our orders and it took ages to bring us anything.
V. R.
Always lovely food here. The quality of all food is on high standard. I found the staff to be very slow after lockdown, and not bringing exactly what we ordered. Instead of two pots of tea we had only one and no sauce as ordered...and other little things like this.🎂☕🍰
C. D.
Turn on the wifi
Edit: 2 stars
As expected with a change of management. Smaller portion sizes, different food supplier, some staff leaving. The inside looks nicer but the food has gone way down the hill. A different chef is very clear in the taste and employees still down know what BBQ sauce is. I love all the people who work here but sad to see some of them go. New owners obviously don't care about the place as much as the previous one did. They have gone for the cheaper option which will drive down business slowly until they close, I expect in the next 2 to 3 years. Would be sad to see this place go but here lies an example of a franchise dying away because of cheap owners.
Edit: 3
First-week blues. The restaurant has improved. Has changed to a better supplier and the place is slowly getting back to normal.
C. D.
Spacious, confortable, large selection, good presentation and prep. Ingredients bit cheap and basic (I'm yet to find a caffe that uses tasty tomatoes rather than salad tomatoes), all bit overpriced overall but a pleasant experience.
S. Y.
I've been a Belgique customer for several years and my experience has always been positive.
The staff are welcoming and attentive - always doing their very best to make my visit enjoyable.
Whilst I agree that when they are busy you can wait a while for your food to arrive - personally I would rather order an extra coffee whilst my food is prepared and enjoy it fresh from the kitchen then to receive food that has been bulk prepared or kept warm and has gone past it's best. They source their produce from the best suppliers meaning your bill may be a bit more than in other cafes in the area but as they say; 'You get what you pay for!'
The manager, Chris, is very particular about the coffee and is some of the best I've had.
The patisserie is made on site and is a treat for the eyes and taste buds - my personal recommendation being the Strawberry tart. The celebration cakes always provide a show stopper centre-piece for any occasion - try the Black Forest Gateaux.........a taste of heaven!!!
To the complainers out there I would say - if things are not to your liking then tell them whilst you're there and give them a chance to rectify the problem don't go home & vent your spleen on Google Reviews! After all, Wanstead needs to work as a community ensuring we maintain the selection of establishments we are fortunate to have on our doorstep. If through our negativity we cause businesses to lose custom and close then we will be the ones to suffer and will end up with cheap chicken shops and betting offices!!!!! We need to support our local business community and help them to serve us both now and in the future.
Belgique - thank you - I'll see you soon X
M. N.

Had a great experience here. The food is delicious, always fresh and never ever had a thing to complain about. I was pleasantly surprised at the price due to the excellent quality. He staff are all very friendly and attentive, I received very quick service. The manager is very lovely and manages the cafe very well. Will deffinately be coming here again and I’m sure all my family will enjoy it as much as I have.
T. K.
Great cakes, poor coffee... Served my Flat White with a burnt bitter taste
P. A.
I was introduced to this cafe now I introduce family and friends. Great place to just have coffee and delicious pastry 🥮 or if you don’t fancy making Sunday breakfast Belgique offer breakfast for everyone veg or non veg. I do feels it’s pricy but the pastries are so delicious don’t mind paying
M. m.
We went last weekend for lunch,first time to try this place. I’d say is the best place in London so far.nice place,great food.and lovely atmosphere with friendly staff. Definitely going back.
very recommended 👌😊
N. S.
Very nice variety of cakes and coffee. The only minus is that the interior is very simple. The prices are a little bit overpriced for the quality of the food they offer. On the other hand, the variety of the freshly made cakes to order is really big.

Lovely atmosphere had breakfast outside
Nice atmosphere and waiters was amazing

Highly recommend Belgique in Wanstead. halal food and friendly staff
D. H.
I have to say I disagree with some of the reviews here. The staff have always been wonderful and know my Mum (who comes weekly) by name and always look after her when she comes. The menu can be hit and miss but I will re iew what I eat which for me are the hits! Get yourself a good Belgium beer and a crab (real crab not sticks) sandwich on a good seeded brown bread, lovely!
T. A.
Definitely improved in the last year or so, service is better and the menu has more vegetarian options. The cakes are not to my taste but the savoury options are very good, the bread is really tasty too!
O. Z. V.
An amazing selection of patisseries. Nice coffee. Very friendly staff. Summer times, there is a huge terrace to chill with the park view. Highly recommend.

I believe this is a 8/10 place. Service was good. Food was surprisingly elegant well presented and tasted good.

It had lots of potential to become the no.1 go to place especially with the outdoor seating and views across the green. Alas let down by average food & coffee and indifferent customer service.
