If the idea of going to a 'Belgian gastronomic pub' makes your eyes roll, you're in good company, but this pleasant basement space overcomes its heavy-handed marketing with cosy leather booths, a comfortable bar to sit at and more than 20 Belgian beers on tap. There's also a great menu (in English, if required), including fresh White Sea mussels and meaty mains.
