Frites Belgium on Tap

the location is very good, near the Renaissance Harbour View hotel. i was very happy to find a upper level platform bar. food is great too

Die Bierkarte ist unglaublich groß! Neben einigen frisch gezapften Bieren gibt es Dutzende Biere aus der Flasche. Die Speisekarte umfasst neben Pommes (na klar!) auch einige Fleischgerichte. Hatte einen medium gegrillten Burger mit Pommes. War wirklich lecker, allerdings auch relativ teuer.

Three stars for the beer! Service was not up to what I would expect in any «bar»! For those fans of John Taffer/​Bar Rescue, he would have had a field day!

Easy to get to and conveniently located near the Renaissance Harbour View hotel and Convention Center.
Great and extensive beer list, but I found the prices to be a bit on the high side …
Cool décor, great Air Con and plenty of tables, not crowded at all on a Thursday night so getting a table was not a problem.
Didn’t eat but my colleagues did and the food looked fine.
Would go back if I was staying in the area again, but wouldn’t make a special trip unless I just had to have a Belgian beer.

To me, the only reason to go here is the fine selection of Belgian beers. The beer menu is extensive. It’s not the best selection that I have seen but it’s very good. I won’t rate the beers because they aren’t made here. I also won’t rate the food because I have only had some side dishes while having beer.
If you appreciate Belgian beers, this is an excellent place to select a refreshing beverage.

Came here in search of a quick dinner after checking out ArtBasel 2015.
First, I was quite happy to find a upper level platform bar, I’m still excited about Hong Kong having multiple levels [you think after 2 weeks I would be used to this]. I came on a Tuesday around 6 pm, smack in the middle of happy hour. What better way to wash down some art with a good Belgian Beer and some fries so Frites! was definitely a winner for me.
The place was not crowded at all this Tuesday so I quickly found a seat at the Bar and a friendly Bartender to serve me up one of the half-​off draft specials. [Drinking Leffe Blonde] I wasn’t terrifyingly hungry so most of this review will be about décor.
The place is mid sized with benches for 2 – 6 people on the patio and about 3 rows of 4 seaters inside. This is definitely a place to bring a group of friends. The bar is stoked with all authentic Belgians beers that will not disappoint, especially if you are looking to drink a 24 oz Hoegaarden. [;)]. If you’re looking for specialty beer, there are many more in bottles you can choose from. [My sure choice is always the Delirium Tremens]. The decorations are simple, lots of wood from the tables to the trim on the ceiling.
To go with my beer I ordered from the snack menu, which is separate from the regular one and my eyes just rested on the gouda balls. As a cheese girl, I cannot pass on a treat like this. I was incredibly happy with them. The right amount of melted with an actually light breading and butter pickles on top. Beyond happy. I could have eaten three portions of these if the 5 of them had not filled me right up.
Altogether, I was very happy with this quick european bite and was pretty excited to get a Unilocal check-​in badge for St. Patrick’s Day on top of that. Will come again.

I came here alone to have my dinner and not surprisingly, Frites is very busy to serving people. Before I came back to Hongkong to visit my sister, my professor told me that I must go to Frites to try its“mussel”, then I am here now. Belgian beer, undoubtedly, is world-class…“mussel” and Palm, was my dinner on that evening… Going to have dinner again is a must!

This place is always really busy every time I come, no matter what time it is.
It’s the same way with all the other branches as well. What I really like about this place is that every time I come to this branch or the others it’s always packed people having a lot and a lot of fun I think the reason is because they serve beer first of all, that’s a no-​brainer but second of all, the food is always really good; the mussels, the fries and everything that they have there is very consistent.
I think one of the other ones that’s why it’s so popular is because it’s kind of like an Oktoberfest on its own.
It is like this every day of the week! they have such a big selection of beer on tap and in bottles too. I think restaurant wise aside from the globe they probably have the biggest selection of beers.
they don’t have a very big food menu but most people get the same things anyways, basically mussels and fries, at least that’s what I get every time I come.
I would recommend this restaurant for anyone is going out with a group of friends and looking for a rowdy night out.
This location although it’s a little out-​of-​the-​way but the way they have set up the tables and chairs, it is perfect for a team/​group environment.

Not many people are so familiar with Belgian food, but it’s actually quite good. Most will probably be more familiar with Belgian beer, now this is where they have mastered a craft!
Frites reminds me a great deal of this small chain of Belgian restaurants in London — anyone who knows London will know what I am talking about. It is basically a beer hall which has hundreds of beers available, that also serves really traditional Belgian food.
To start with the beers, quite frankly to many to name. However, Frites stock a range from the more known beers like Duvell, through to fruit lambics made by silent order monks. You can definitely get a good education in Belgian beers at Frites, but may have to do it over a number of visits!
What better to go with yummy beer, but yummy food. The big things here is the «moules et frites» or mussels and chips. The mussels are steamed in a variety of marinades, like tomato, cream, white wine, and come in one kilo pots. Great for me, as I have a big appetite, but also enough to share. With the mussels comes the «frites», which are great double fried Belgian style fries. So tasty dipped in the mussel marinade, or with lashings of mayo.
Other treats include meaty delights like «good wife sausage», which is basically a massive sausage with veggies, a huge Aussie style burger (I call it Aussie style because it has beetroot in it), and pork knuckle. Now the pork knuckle, oh yeah! It’s just like crispy patas, but just made better, and served with mashed potatoes, so good.
The venue in Brim 24 is fine. The dining hall is open and high ceilinged, with big bench tables, so it does get really noisy with the sound rattling around the tall space. It does get busy, so make sure you book for busy times. The staff are generally ok, they can be a bit blinkered and snippy, but take a breath, sip your beer, and try again.
Last word of advice, avoid the chocolate pudding, it is really hit and miss. It is sometimes lovely, and other times tastes like detergent.
