Owner Josh Beeby and Chef Christian Lopez cooked together over a decade ago at a local downtown restaurant. Recently reunited, Chef Christian joined The Trappe Door team to help bring Josh's dream of bringing Belgium to Greenville a reality.

The Trappe Door is Greenville's first Belgian inspired Restaurant and bar. From classic Belgian dishes such as Carbonades Flamandes and Waterzooi to the simple flavors of the land that shine through in the Duck in Cherry Beer sauce, everything on the menu along with the cosy atmosphere will transport you to the tiny European country. Hang out and enjoy our late night menu and enjoy working through the beer menu highlighting over 160 of Belgians finest ales.
Our first visit will not be our last! Love, love, love The Trappe Door! I had the duck breast and it was scrumptious - not too fatty as duck can be. The cherry sauce was sweet and tart. Entree prices are very reasonable. The beers are a little pricey, but it's always interesting to try new ones that you can't find anywhere else. Love the cozy atmosphere and our service was just about perfect (if only she hadn't called us "you guys" - a pet peeve).
A few friends have recommended we try this new restaurant... especially because we like mussels. What a great treat! The basement is really nicely finished, and the menu was great. We had a mushroom appetizer, then shared an order of mussels with fries. Both were excellent. Service was helpful and attentive once she learned it was our first visit. We tend to prefer wine versus beer, and had wines. That said, surrounded by such an incredible beer menu I had to try a draft "Saison Silly" which was just delicious. Only 2 slight negatives: The music was 25% too loud, and the brightly lit kitchen was annoying from our table. We will return!
Hip atmosphere and a great beer selection!
