Belgo Centraal Reviews

8 out of 10 stars

If you fancy a fun outing, like mussels, frites and strong beer, this is the place to go. The waiters all have some off the wall sense of humour, the decor is eccentric and monastic (and so are the waiters in appearance). So the service is amusing. The place is usually heaving with people so BOOK and be prepared to wait to be seated. We have been several times now and we never tire of the new things to try on the menu. Their varieties of ways to cook mussels, even spicy ones are very yummy. The fruit beers are good to try and the deserts are also worth saving some room for. it is hard to save any room though. Leave the diet at home, and come here with patience and an open mind. :)

We've been to Belgo a few times now, usually drifting there for brunch after wandering around Covent Garden on a lazy Sunday afternoon, hungry and tired after a heavy Saturday night. We've never booked in advance and have not had problems getting a table although we did notice that the place fills up very quickly from 1.30-2pm, despite its vast size. The food has always been good, although sausage and mash (or stoemp) is hard to get wrong. Highly recommend the grilled mussels with butter and pernod. This is an ideal place to relax and recover with comfort food like frites and mayonaise, sausage and stoemp, and a range of (often high-strength) European beers and ales. Good service, no fuss
