(Belgium) Heritage Belgian Beer Cafe
135 Harrington Street, The Rocks, Ph 9241 1775
There may be more than three dozen beers available here, but the house specialty of mussels in nine different broths does a good job on its own of drawing the customers in. There’s the much-loved blue cheese variety, or Provencale with tomato, capsicum and garlic, both $24.90. There’s even beer as a cooking medium, such as the Flemish beef stew cooked in beer $23.50, made with Stella Artois, Dijon mustard and cranberry jelly and served with chips or boiled potatoes. Call a couple of days ahead to order suckling pig, served on a heap of roast potatoes with sauerkraut and apple sauce $35.50. For dessert, try the famous Belgian waffles with warm chocolate sauce, mixed berry coulis and vanilla bean icecream $13.50 or the Belgian chocolate mousse $13.50.
(Germany) Baviarian Bier Cafe
24 York Street, Sydney, Ph 8297 4111
Though there are eight beers on tap and 15 by the bottle, and the long tables and booths are done in a traditional beerhouse design (albeit with a very stylish and modern twist), the food here is by no means an afterthought. First-timers can get a taste for the place, literally, with the popular Bavarian platter $24.50, a tasting plate loaded with pork belly, German sausages and schnitzel, all served with Bavarian condiments. Servings are generous and items such as goulash soup $11 and Swiss schnitzel $26 really satisfy. Desserts are both traditional — apple strudel with vanilla anglaise $9.50 — and exotic — pear and raisin pancake with rum icecream $9.50. A snack menu is on offer throughout the day, and there’s a DJ on Friday nights.
(Germany) Lowenbrau Keller
Cnr Playfair and Argyle Streets, The Rocks, Ph 9247 7785
What could be better than drinking excellent German krystal Beer, with a genuine Bavarian oompah band belting out the classics (I Will Survive, Waterloo, Lady Marmalade)? Well it could have been a little less expensive, but let's not gripe. German beer is amongst the finest in the world, and we should expect to be paying a little extra for it.
The Kellar is actually more of a restaurant than a bar, but how can you resist? All the staff are dressed in German costume, they carry enormous plates of sausage-based food around you as you sit marvelling at the crowds of backpackers dancing on the tables because the dancefloor is too full. Now I have to come clean about one thing. The band weren't actually Bavarian, but who gives a stuff when they're looking so authentic while blasting out disco hits of the 70s and 80s to an enthralled bunch of drunk people?
The Kellar is situated perfectly in the middle of the busiest part of The Rocks, just up the hill from The Orient, and could potentially form part of an excellent short crawl from Palisade to Orient taking in The Nelson, Maybe the Hero and perhaps a detour to the Fortune Of War too... The situation means it's generally full of tourists and backpackers, which lends atmosphere to an already charged environment, since backpackers are renowned for making the most of a night out!
(Czech/slovak) Doma Bohemian Beer Cafe
Shop5, 29 Orwell Street, Potts Point, Ph 9331 0022
Seemingly snipped from the heart of Europe with its wood panelling, casual vibe and backpacker hotel next door, this friendly diner offers hearty, authentic Czech and Slovak food at very reasonable prices. Individual menus for beer, food, wine and even absinthe set the tone. Entrees include platters of smoked sausages and duck liver pâté, though our attention is always drawn to the wholesomely heart-stopping chef’s crisp platter, all $9.50. Rich, slow-cooked stews and roasts dominate the mains, such as roast duck with sauerkraut, red cabbage and dumplings $23 or the Bohemian platter for two $46 where you get to try a little of everything. Desserts are traditional with a variety of strudels and sweet dumplings, about $9, and keep an eye out for daily specials.
