Belgium

It may be a little unexciting but there’s really only one place where you can go for Belgian food in London. Belgo. There’s also really only one thing that you should make sure that you eat when you’re ticking off Belgian food: moules and frites.

Nom.

There is a reason why Belgo has conquered the moules and frites market.

Belgian moules and Delirium Tremens

We headed to Belgo Noord for some traditionelle moules cooked in white wine, celery, garlic and onion. While there were, admittedly, far more exciting options on the menu (think Thai moules with Lemongrass, chilli, ginger, kaffir lime, coconut and coriander, or Navigator moules with Belgo garam masala, cinnamon and ginger cream with coriander), the mussels actually didn’t need that much dressing up to taste good and the remaining sauce was perfect for dipping frites in. As I said, nom.

The other Belgian must-have is obviously a good beer so I left Seamus with the challenge of knocking back a bottle of 8.5% Delirium Tremens. I guess it’s going to take me a few more Belgo visits before my tolerance is up to Belgian beer levels.
