About the food and beer

This restaurant mostly has customers coming to have beer. So naturally food takes a back seat. Food is mostly snacks type. They also have maggi, pizza and pasta.

Hoegaarden draught beer

No problems about the beer though. There is a good collection of draught beer. Fosters and Kingfisher form a part of the local brands. Imported draught beer has brands like Hoegaarden is what this place is famous for. A three litre tower of Hoegaarden costs about Rs 3000 incl taxes. This is a good deal by any standards anywhere in Delhi. This beer is served with a slice of sweet lemon in a beer mug. Hoegaarden originated in a little village in Belgium from which is name has been derived. The local monks had a unique recipe for brewing beer which is sweet in taste and hints of corriander and orange. But somehow this century old tradition was lost in time till it was revived with the help of local breweries of Belgium. Hoegaarden draught beer is the best of draught beer that you can enjoy in Delhi.
