Over the years, we have collected and compiled the following list of cafés and restaurants that pay special attention to lambic beers, ranging from flat lambic to Old Gueuze and all kinds of lambic fruit beers.
Each year we use this list to nominate and elect the winner(s) of our Golden Lambikstoemper Award, an artful charter to a business that promotes the many lambic beers and puts them in the spotlight on a positive way, traditionally awarded on our Dag van de Oude Geuze (Day of the Old Gueuze).

If you have a suggestion to complete the list below, you can send us an e-mail via redactie@lambikstoempers.be. We then try to complete the list as soon as possible.

Distinction in types
- Authentic lambic café: café where time has stopped, with a basement full of Old Gueuze and mostly some flat lambic behind the counter.
- Bistro: a simple dining area that is in the middle of a restaurant and a café.
- Café: a place where you go to drink something.
- Restaurant: the focus is on the food, drinks are ‘only’ supplementary.
