Summary: Moules, moules, moules!!!!

OK, it was a risk to go with a Belgian to a Belgian restaurant in search of traditional tastes. But, this restaurant did not let us down. First of all, we were served by a Belgian. Second, the menu was abundant with promising choices of food and also true Belgian beers (for a look: http://www.belgo-restaurants.co.uk/menus/belgo-centraal/belgo-menu).

We did not side-track from our initial purpose! Moules, and moules traditionelles (£12.95 - very reasonable, and what you would pay in Brussels), we ordered. Steve, of course, with frites and I with salad. Both options were really good. We did not drink beer but preferred a bottle of nice sweet white wine.  But, let's talk about the core of the matter: the moules. They were a nice size, but the taste lacked  enough vegetables in its sauce. Well, Steve says he can do them much better and I tend to agree :D Nevertheless, we were content with what we got.

For dessert, we had a tarte tatin, but it was nothing special - we can hardly remember what we felt about it. We cannot find it in the menu either. 

Overall, this restaurant is very nicely located, and it has a cozy ambiance with "cave" seating.  I can imagine coming here again before/after the show in one of the many theaters close by!
