Cenk GümüşcüoğluOctober 7, 2014Enormous selection of beer! I personally suggest King Prawns as a starter and a kilo of Provençale mussels to wrap up the meal. Staff is very friendly and has deep knowledge about the beer they serve.
One of the best Belgian restaurants in London. Vast selection of Belgian beers & great Moules Frites. Highly recommend Barbar Honey beer and Thai Mussel Pot. Service Good too.Very popular, book ahead.
Rose CeeFebruary 27, 2015Mussels are as delicious as people say they are, & surprisingly filling! Served in a bowl or pot with different sauces. Perfect with a Belgian beer.
If you like or miss mussels, here is your best option for London. Ambiance is also very different. Try Provençal or the coconut one. They also have beer bible, imagine the number.
Jessie DirpaulAugust 12, 2015Need to make a reservation for dinner. Food served quickly. Fave is the chicken with sweet chili and lime. Pecheresse is my must have beer
Marius GheorghiuJanuary 6, 2016This is the place for mussels in London. The beer menu is a great paring
Ankur BanerjeeApril 23, 2015I recommend giving Trappist beers a try. Even the small bottles are surprisingly potent. They originate from the monastery breweries of the Trappist order, sold to make themselves self-sufficient.
Anita ManSeptember 24, 2013Love the atmosphere there like being in a brewery. The selections of beers are vast and delicious. It was great years ago and still is fab with the new menu.
Imogen CDecember 23, 2018Can see why this is number one for mussels in London! went Thai green pot w fries 👌🏼
HatemNovember 14, 2013Checkout the lunchtime express menu, available from midday to 5pm everyday. Great value at £7.95 for a main course and a drink.
Adam QRNovember 24, 2019A great Belgian restaurant with a bar that you can enjoy a range of Trappiste beers with Bruges Zot on tap!
Cassie W.October 6, 2015Definitely the Thai mussels. Light, nice kick with the heat, away from the traditional wine and cream sauce which can get very filling
Ric SanteuginiMay 16, 2015I've tried the mussels, they're good. I've tried the burgers, they're very good. Beers? Try the fruit beers. And don't forget to book a table.
Christiana MakariouFebruary 24, 2014it used to be better but still a great place to go with friends! try the classic mussles!! the crepe I ordered for dessert was not as warm as it should but still ok.
Nick BrackenburyFebruary 3, 2018Great beer selection, super quirky atmosphere and delicious mussels. Fun place for a group meal with friends!
Simon JenkinsApril 28, 2011I've lost count of the times I've met friends for lunch in this subterranean cavern of a restaurant. The cheap Express Lunch is always great value, even though the beers and extras tempt you to go off
Paula RebouçasFebruary 7, 2016Great place, very cool! Amazing burger, risotto and, obviously, moules frites!
prima filiNovember 18, 2014Lots of ceremony to go downstairs, specially when the restaurant is almost empty. The mussels are A-OK, I feel the sauces are getting worst with the years. Great beer selection.
Phil KenchDecember 6, 2016The mussel gratins are a smaller and more interesting alternative to the basic mussel pots
Yury ChuykoMarch 6, 2016Great selection of beers, delicious mussels. Very cozy place. A bit pricey though.
Nash NaniMay 4, 2016Great mussels and risotto. Can be extremely loud though. Beers are a great selection but some funkier ones are a bit ropey
Ameen AqeelAugust 26, 2014The poppe cheese croquettes were good to start, and ordered the poppe (Gruyere and spinach) mussels which were small but filling.
Eddie COctober 5, 2012Quirky and charming surroundings and excellent food. Can't go past the mussels. A must try restaurant.
Nicola DLDecember 7, 2014Moulles are the best! As dessert: Belgian waffle. Also, they have a wide range of Belgian beers.
Kyriakos BezerianosDecember 30, 2014Brugse Zot Brune beer is awesome (dark beer)! Belgo Wit is one the best wheat beers I have tasted.
Mats KirknesAugust 20, 2013Try their beers, it is a Belgian place after all! Also, make sure to try the mussels - they are great!
John BarwoodAugust 6, 2014Don't just go for the cheapest beer or one you're familiar with. Explore the beer menu as much as the food menu.
Olga MarinMay 25, 2013There's nothing like the posh-ages sausages, excellent gravi and best mash in town. Try also the fries 10/10!
New York HabitatApril 11, 2012Belgian beer and Belgian fries after work- what more could you want? Maybe a nice bowl of Belgian mussels? They have this too!
Fidel SerranoAugust 18, 2014Very friendly service. Mussels with fries are a must. Don't forget to leave room for dessert!
Tiago Teixeira CorreiaFebruary 6, 2015Mussels all the way. Get all the sauces. Don't worry about being late, just enjoy the food.
Elias GerstmayrSeptember 27, 2016Great atmosphere in the beer hall, try the mussel platters and the fruit beer.
Fathima DadaJuly 8, 2017Mussels were great, as were the frites and mayonnaise. Try the exotic Belgian beers.
Louie CuAugust 17, 2014Ordered the escargot. Thought I'd get snails ~ instead got mussels cooked escargot style. It was nonetheless delicious.
Hassan ElmiJanuary 4, 2015One kf mg favorite places in London. Highly recommend it for belgian beer enthusiasts
Eating DoctorDecember 21, 2016I didn't try the famous mussels but the burger was nice. The dessert wasn't so great but nice experience overall
Nicole PuaJune 13, 2013Nice ambience, and the kwak beer is amazing. Mussels and dessert are must trys :)
Andrea CampiDecember 20, 2014You can sit at the restaurant or at the "family style" whatever they call it; we did the latter. Big mistakes unless you're in your twenties. Noisy and messy, it goes well with the poor food.
Henrique XavierApril 11, 2015The ambiance is cool and different, the croquettes are very good, but the mussels are small and the chips not that good.
Richard HartleyDecember 5, 2009Vegetarian option is delicious (ignore that everyone else is popping Mussels). Bouchée of wild mushrooms cooked in an orval beer & tarragon cream sauce with asparagus and button onions. Rochefort 10 Read more
Karn R.August 14, 2014An okay spot for mussel lovers but nothing special really. Fish and Chips wasn't outstanding either. Loads of beer to choose so that should please the beer lovers.
To get the most out of the sauces in your mussels pot, try poking the fries with your fork a few times before dunking. Finger-licking good!
