I had a dream about Belgo last night and I've woken up with a craving for their moules-frites that just got insane. Then when I fully came-to I remembered they closed. Then I got mad because Belgo was awesome. Let this be the review that inspires a comeback! read more

Cozy little place in Soho, London, serving Belgian food. The atmosphere of the restaurant was quite cool, and it really gave the impression of being somewhere in Belgium (even though I have never been to Belgium myself, haha). Our waitress was nice, but her English was quite poor, making the information and placing of orders a bit messy. Their menu was specialized around mussels, but I went for a sharing concept with my brothers between the Pork Belly, Beef Carbonara and Liege Meatballs, all of which were accompanied with potato stomp. The pork belly was okay tasting, but nothing special. The beef and meatballs however were really good! The portions were unfortunately quite small, and I felt like I left the restaurant hungrier than when I entered it. For me personally, this is always a huge dissapointment whenever going out somewhere to eat. If I were to go again, I'd rather go for the mussels. According to the others I went out with they were incredible. All in all this place gives you an authentic feeling of eating somewhere in Belgium, a decent tasting meal, and a lack of fullness for a fair price. read more

I stopped by for pre-dinner drinks with the gang on an unusually sunny evening. Well, also a bowl of chips as they annoyingly don't let you order drinks by themselves despite calling themselves a bar & restaurant but anyhoo! As you might expect given the Belgian link they have a plentiful beer selection, both bottled and on tap. I opted for something a little lighter with a half pint of Leffe Blond, though the strength still packed a punch! Others had a mix of beers and prosecco, all reasonably-priced for the area. Our little group swelled from a twosome up to 6 of us like a game of sardines, which seemed to stress the barman out as he wasn't licensed for that many chairs outside(!) but 2 of us were happy to stand. I liked the cute little patio furniture set outside european-style, and would come back to investigate the food when the moules frites cravings strike... read more

Very, very good...but not quite as good as Belgo Centraal Belgo is a small chain of Belgian Restaurants specializing in delicious Moules, Frites, and extraordinary Bieres - particularly Belgian. Our family of four LOVE Belgo Centraal and this time we thought we would try their new Soho location. Three pots of mussels, a plate of sausages, and a waffle and an ice cream later we were ready to render our verdict. The mussels were very, very good...particularly the Thai...but not quite as good as Centraal. I'm guessing the lower turnover at this smaller location makes a difference. The sausages were tasty enough to order - particularly when shared four ways - but not as good as the mussels. The frites and beers were simply spectacular (Rochefort 10 is one of my all time favorites). And the waffles and ice creams (ginger and strawberry) were delicious as well. In short, getting a table was easy and you never got that feeling of 'eating with a hundred or so of your not-so-closest friends' that Centraal can have. If the question is, 'Where should I eat in Soho?', Belgo Soho is a fantastic answer. But if you are asking, 'Which Belgo should I choose?' I might go elsewhere. read more

Cool trendy place! The deli and cheese platter was amazing! Must get as a starter. I also enjoyed the fruit beers. Mussels are the most popular dish there but I didn't try. We finished the meal with a piece of cheesecake and crepes. The server was nice to add an extra scoop of ice cream because the girls were sharing. We really enjoyed our time because of the atmosphere, food and drinks were good! read more

Lively place in soho specializing in moules fritz with many different options on the menu, along with a variety of other items. The Mariniere mussles were good, served in a giant pot and tasted fresh. The fritz portion was on the small side, served with no condiments. Bread was £3.50 extra and was very disappointing. This combination is why I docked it a star. read more

We had an excellent lunch with muscles and fish & chips - service was great and food was yummy - a do over!!

If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. This place was the biggest disappointment. The service is absolutely horrible, with moody waiters, slow service and poor etiquette. The food is BARELY authentically Belgian, tasting like an average American burger joint. After having to repeat our orders twice every time and getting attitude from the lazy waitress who wasn't doing her job, my friends and I caught the waitress throwing french fries that had fallen off the plate BACK onto the plates with her bare hands before serving them. My friend's unfinished salad was taken away from him and cleared without even asking if he was finished with it. After asking for the bill a second time while the waitresses stood around to gossip, the lazy waitress said "YES FINE" and did not even follow up on the payment process. As we had not been approached a single time by any waiter or waitress in the restaurant throughout our entire dining experience, almost every time we waved a waiter/waitress over we were told to wait and were blatantly ignored. This place is an absolute shit hole and should be closed down. SUCH a disgrace to Belgian cuisine! If the restaurant manager is reading this: GET YOUR STAFF TOGETHER! read more

We went in starving and we didn't have a reservation but they gave us a table with time limit. All we wanted was drink and a small meal. We ordered a couple of beers with mussels for two. Almost 30 minutes later and they lost our ticket. So no good. We didn't takes their food but we got q couple of free beers. read more

Stopped here in between a show for a quick bite. We ordered mussels, fries, pickles and bread to share between 2 people. The food is great and it has a great atmosphere. read more

4 stars just because as stop one on the nostalgia tour we were thrilled to be at Belgo again. Having been to Belgo in camden the first week it opened way back we always have a soft spot for it. There was only one back then. This outlet is well positioned in soho and the mussels in thai curry sauce were yummy as was the mash. The service ...not so good, not friendly or attentive. Beer selection sub par. read more

I am giving a 2 because the food is edible. I wouldn't say good though. You end up paying £30 excl wine and you can certainly get something better for that. What really disappointed me was the service though. We were a table of 8 and as difficult as taking the orders can be, in this case the waiter seemed on his first day ever as a waiter. We were sitting downstairs and quite abandoned as well! We had to check multiple times if they were bringing water/ketchup/the bill. Plus the atmosphere is just touristy and there is nothing authentic here. read more

We had a large group downstairs. Only 1 waitress and she was slightly grumpy! They brought the wrong wine a couple of times and brought someone's steak medium rare instead of medium well and tried to tell her it was medium well... took a long time to order and get our food. Desserts were good though! I wouldn't go back or recommend. read more

My craving for some traditional Belgian Moules-frites took us to Belgo. We were seated in the basement (or the caves), it was nice and warm...but one just needs to careful not to slip on the stairs especially on a rainy day. My partner ordered the Delirium Noc beer and for someone who isn't a fan of beer really loved it. We ordered the traditional Moules-frites (the Moules/Mussels were cooked in garlic, celery, onions, butter and white wine) and fillet of cod and samphire in cream veloute with tarragon and lemon and a side of stompe mash. The mussels were okay but having eaten them always in Brussels it lacked flavoured. The onion slices were too big and I could hardly taste the white wine. The frites/fries were good. Something about the mussels wasn't right, I ended up getting food poisoned and was sick all through the next day and took me a few days to return to solid food. The fillet of cod and samphire was quite good and so was the stompe mash. I wish I had got that. In a nutshell, I am NEVER visiting Belgo and WOULDN'T be recommending it. read more

A pretty large portion of mussels in the pot, some with traditional flavored and some that are more adventurous. Their fish and chips were ok. Clearly the main things to order when going are mussels and beer. read more

Traveling to London from New York. Belgo was very easy to access from the metro. Lovely, lively area of town, very young crowd. The restaurant is two floors, we were seated downstairs with no reservation. The mussels pot was delicious, some of the best my husband and I have ever eaten. My husband had the rotisserie chicken Classic Belgo style, it too was delicious. The meat was so tender and all of the food was very fresh. Large portions, very reasonably priced! Will definitely be returning on our next visit to London!!! read more

Overpriced immensely. Ordered the stewed beef. Three small clumps and barely two table spoons of mash. I literally finished the meal in 3 minutes. Priced at 15£ it can only be viewed as highway robbery. I didn't know mashed potatoes were so expensive that you couldn't afford to load up the dish. It was worth around 6£ (the cost of a snack). The draft beer is somewhat overpriced as well. All in all, I'd call this a scam operation and I would never ever go back. There are much better and more reasonably priced places to eat. read more
