Advantages: trendy design

Disadvantages: only foreign beer

Location:
I work in Ladbroke grove (just next to Notting Hill) and to be honest the area has seen better days - but my opinion changed when I walked through the doors of Belgo's Zuid - build in a former casino this restaurant is in this amazing huge hall - something which really has to be seen to be believed. I've visited 2 other Belgos in central London and found this one to be the most interesting - but not really that busy - ideal if you're looking for the quieter night out. (Nearest tube - Ladbroke Grove - Hammersmith and City Line - Zone 2 - entrance opposite restuarant)

Food:
Food is centred around mussels (or moules) with fries of course - there are other dishes but this is all that I've had there! Don't each to much of the garlic mayo which comes with the bread, it has a nasty oily aftertaste which will hit you if you over indulge.

Beers:
Belgo's pride themselves on their huge range of beers - all from Belgium - no Carling to be found here. I find the beer has an acquired taste, and if you're brought up on Stella and Carling such as myself you might not adapt to these new flavours. And they’re not cheap either.

Shots:
Also a huge range - you might be able to get some free ones from your server - if you're lucky! If not fork out anyway - it's a good way to spice the night up. They come on huge long sticks - handy for having races we found.

Service is quick - but the staff are more efficient than friendly - I do like to talk to my waiter/waitress - it makes for a better night.
