What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Blårock Cafe is celebrated for its unique rock 'n' roll atmosphere and hearty burgers, with many praising the fries and extensive beer selection. However, some diners have found the burgers to be inconsistent in quality and slightly overpriced for the value, with occasional comments about a faint 'old' odor.
"No complaints! Everything was great, awesome food, great service, fun atmosphere. Bartenders spoke very well English and they had English menus as well. You pick a table and order your food and drinks at the bar. They had many local beers on tap that were delicious! They had two local IPA choices and many different lagers and ales. We got the dirty fries they were so good we had to go back the next day for more. I got a pixies burger it had feta and balsamic on it. They had lots of unique burger choices. The posters on the wall were super cool and gave the place a nice vibe. The place was quiet and good to go with friends to chit chat. The food came out quick."

"Good burger but if it's the best in town it's disappointing. Atmosphere and decorations are really nice, don't go there for the burger only.
Just so you know, you have to order at the bar and pay directly."
Julien
"great atmosphere, seeing those kinds of posters is really nice (and the music too)!! the burgers were ok, a little bit expensive for what saw inside them, and the fries were tkt expensive. the salad was okay, but lacked flavor. to order, you need to go to the bar and ask otherwise no one will serve u."
