| Lovely lovely beers STILL all good - burgers are decent enough and ef needed after the room-spinning lovely beers....lievly not rowdy....a taste of the Benelux in Farringdon.... paulio1966 - 3 May 2009 23:56 |
| One of Londons hidden secrets this place. Never seen so many different Belgium bottles beers in my life time. Well worth seeking out if your in London superseagulls - 6 Apr 2009 18:47 |
| Beer - Loads of it. Yes they do Artois but no Stella - good. I had Delerium, Boon and Leffe Braun and all reliable foamy glasses of flavour and joy. I'm moving to Belgium. Food - Variations on Belgian cuisine plus some bar snacks. Reports are favourable so I will give it a try next time. Atmosphere - Quiet at 5pm but by 6pm full of local suits and affecianados. The less brave chose the draught Cristal lager beer - each to his own but the bottles in the fridge are more exciting. Music was unobtrusive. Service - Friendly and well-informed. The barman warned me about the gueuze beer that I ordered stating that some punters have said it was off (due to its tart taste). I already know gueuze beer from La Mort Subite in Brussels but it was good of him to check first. Overall - Reminiscent of bars in Ghent and Brussels but with minimal table service when busy. I like this place - anywhere that doesn't pander to fighting juice or nerdy ale-heads is alright with me. Ilove real ale AND Belgian beers and Clerkenwell/Farringdon has enough great boozers to cater for both sets of affeciandos. paulio1966 - 8 Oct 2008 16:38 |
| This is a great pub, always busy and brilliant atmosphere, if you have been to belgium and experienced the bars in bruge or ghent this will be almost like de ja vu!! The range of belgium bottled beers is very good and they always have 1 or 2 on tap as well, food is wonderful especially the sausage and mash. floreffe - 31 Jul 2008 19:40 |
| Firstly don't expect a cheap belgian bar, as you are buying a premium product not a pint of swill. Good continental cafe feel with a great selection of beers and the wildboar sausage is fabulous Badger350 - 29 Jun 2008 16:16 |
