Belgian theme
It's all about Belgian style at Belgobaren, from the interiors to the food and drinks. Despite the theme, organic Swedish mussels from the west coast are served, but the flavours and composition are still Flemish. Provençale, Trappist, Pepparrot, Morney... the mussels here come in masses of flavour variations, but they're all cooked with white wine, celery, onions, garlic, leeks, carrots and thyme and served with pommes frites.
