Belgo Centraal, London
This is a short review, but I wanted to get it in nonetheless because I am such a fan of Belgian beer and as of late, Belgian food.
Friday, May 26th
Belgo Centraal
50 Earlham Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2 9HP
Went out for a late dinner at Belgo with a few friends on a Friday evening. Situated right in the heart of Covent Garden this is a great place to start a late night out in central London. The restaurant is quite busy all evening and only shows a letup in seated guests around 9:30 PM. We waited a full 40 minutes for a table, although drinking Alken-Maes and Chimay Triple made the time fly right by.
The dining room is downstairs and is full of mostly young people on the weekends. This particular night, a rowdy bunch of fellas we seated in the section behind us, presumably on some kind of a bachelors party. The waiters are dressed as trappist monks and therefore walk around in amply cut brown hooded robes.
For dinner I had the Jarret D’Agneau, which is basically the braised lamb shank. This dish was served piping hot and was excellent. It would have been nice if they had thrown some bread in with this dish because the sauce was fit to have some bread dipped in it. I also ordered a Rockets and Parmesan salad tossed in Olive Oil which was delicious and some frites (Belgian fries) which were absolutely horrid (I can find better fries at McDonald's).
Nice dining experience overall but would have been even better had we shown up earlier in the evening. The average check was £25 per person.
