Come and make memories with us! 🌊

Located on Eastbourne Seafront’s Grand Parade with views of the pier and out towards Beachy Head, the Belgian Cafe is the perfect place to dine al fresco during the day or experience the relaxed atmosphere inside. Established in 1999, the Belgian Cafe (formally Cafe Belge) is an award-winning restaurant offering fine a la carte dinning with exceptional service – not only the best of seafood dishes, but also a great selection of specials, burgers, tapas with vegetarian/vegan options. From October, we offer on the 1st and 3d Wednesday of each month a "Mussel Night" where you can sample as many mussel dishes as you wish. We also have a number of set menus for birthday and anniversary parties, wedding receptions and business lunches. Our regular special live music events held every Fridays and Saturdays (8.00-10.00pm) throughout the year, are extremely popular and create a great atmosphere. We aim to give all our customers a really enjoyable dining experience. Things don’t stand still at the Belgian Cafe. We are regularly adding exciting new things to our repertoire to keep our customers happy. Our food is freshly prepared for each order and at busy times this may cause a delay (for which we apologies in advance), but we assure you our food is always worth waiting for. The popularity of our restaurant is testament to this. We are a dog friendly restaurant and have an indoor dedicated area for our furry friends and their family.

🍂 Pumpkin Spice Espresso Martini season is here. 🎃☕🍸

And seriously… look at that pour. 🤤

Our autumn favourite is back for the season — rich espresso, warming pumpkin spice and everything you want from a proper Espresso Martini with an autumn twist.

If you haven’t tried it yet, this is your sign to come down and get one while it’s still on the menu. 🍁

And remember, Happy Hour runs Sunday to Thursday, 5–7pm: 🍸 Buy two of the same cocktails and the second one is half price.

So grab someone who’s just as obsessed with autumn cocktails as you are… because one Pumpkin Spice Espresso Martini is good, but two sounds much better. 👀

Yesterday, we had the absolute pleasure of hosting the celebration of Sarah and Rachelle’s life together at The Belgian Café. 💍🥂

Having known you both for so many years made the day even more special. We were genuinely honoured to be part of such an important milestone in your lives and to watch two wonderful friends finally tie the knot. We truly couldn’t be happier for you both. 🤍

To make the occasion even more personal, .uk prepared a special surprise: one of your favourite cocktails, a Strawberry Daiquiri, canned with a bespoke wedding label featuring your names and wedding date—a little gift dedicated to the brides. ✨

Thank you for choosing to celebrate such a beautiful day with us. It meant so much to be part of it.

If you’d love personalised cocktails, spritzes or other drinks for your own celebration, get in touch! We can create bespoke labels for weddings, birthdays, hen and stag parties, private events and all the moments worth raising a can to. 🥂

Congratulations, Sarah and Rachelle. Here’s to a lifetime of happiness together! 🤍
