This busy and lively restaurant provides a large upstairs dining area which leads on to that famous balcony, as well as a downstairs bar perfect for enjoying a drink and snacks with friends.

Try the famous steaming mussel pots and mussel platters and few can go past the waffles or chocolate mousse on the comprehensive dessert menu.

Great location, unbelievable location, gorgeous food, good looking, fun staff, and delicious beer. Can it get any better than this??? Favourite place to unwind after working a 50 hour week!

Great food, lovely location and good service

It has an amazing atmosphere in the heart of Mission Bay city. The restaurant outlooks onto the whole suburb with the beach and the great fountain. Sometimes they put on a live night shows, which is great. An amazing place to take anyone on a date or a casual dining place. The food just melts in your mouth!

Great atmosphere and fantastic waffles to round off a good Belgian beer.

The deck, the spacious indoors and the lively busy atmosphere. Plus great staff who really know their stuff!

We couldn't agree more Chris! Hope to see you again soon from the team at De Fontein :)

De Fontein is the best place to grab a cold beer on a balmy summer’s evening in Mission Bay. My favourite from the extensive beer list is the cherry-flavoured Kriek, yum!

Fresh seadfood combination with chips

A great spot to grab a good beer

One of the best places to get Irish coffee
