One of my favorite places in London have a pint and a bite to eat. I love all the warm stews and soups on the menu. They also have my favorite Belgian beers on tap and the service is always excellent!

Charlie Tocher

Lovely hidden gem of a bar , excellent beers & service as well as the food looking amazing, sorry but I can't rate it though as I didn't eat here.

Eleanna Breza

Better than your average pub food (a bit pricier than your average pun too, but worth it) - a vegetarian menu can be found too. A plus is also the relaxed atmosphere of the neighbourhood.

Mark Ashworth

If you like Belgian beer this is the place to come. It gets booked up quite fast so if you're thinking of having lunch here then book ahead.

Jack Jenkins

Huge selection of Belgian beers here. A connoisseur's paradise. Take a look at their menu at the bar and try something different

Michaela Watkinson

Very specialist beer selection in a little alleyway in Clerkenwell. Always mega busy after office working hours.

Kevin Anderson

Great atmosphere, a wide selection of Belgian brews and a good menu as well - go for moules and frites .

Jae

Come for lunch ! There's no one at all there, and the staff are super-friendly and helpful when they're not busy. And the beer and food are just as awesome in a deserted pub as they are in a packed one

Tyler Durden

Best place for Belgian beer in London.

Robert Shaw

Too many people here drinking pints of Jupiler, which is just the Belgian Carling... be brave, go off the reservation and have a Delirium Tremens!

Bryan Kam

Try the Faro lambic or the geueze, unique beers that are fairly hard to find in pubs Read more

Rachana Arora

Great selection of beer even for a non-beer drinker ;)

James Parton

I had the ostrich burger - pretty good in focaccia bread . Excellent selection of Belgium beer , not so much Belgium food, but still worth checking out

This is meant to be the best Belgian Pub in London with a ridiculous selection of beers on draught and in bottle. Read more

Food is standard. Boar burger was excessively big, Chips were out the freezer. Atmosphere was non-existent. 2 stars.
