I’m a big fan of Belgo in general, and their moule-frites particularly after a kriek or two, but I think i’d agree with you that the sweet buttery-ness of lobster does benefit from as little embellishment as possible. Still, as you say, there aren’t many places in London where you can eat arthropod for that price – not something to be Manneken Pis’d at…

I really think lobster is best cold with a good real mayonaise and a few leaves. There really is nothing better than cracking those claws and slurping the lobstery flavoured juice, it is not the same hot, but as always a review of professional standards

Great photos as ever Helen – and a great evening. Shame about the odd element of grumpy old-media, but you can’t win ‘em all!

That looks SO cheesey! It’s such a shame when delicate fish is drowned in sauce, I can see why you preferred the salad.

Seems like we all came out with a fairly similar opinion – except for the foodepedia guy who loved everything except eating with us!

cheap lobster and honey beer sounds a treat to me. Been a while since I last trekked into belgo, I think its about time I headed back.

Agree with ya about lobster not needing much to shine through. I’ll be trying the lobster salad – though I do love themidor too… but not too much cheese.

Dammit. now I’m thinking about lobster.
