Loading ...Brunch At The Belgian Cafe
Posted by Foobooz on October 9th, 2007
Phillyist is among the first to check out brunch at the Belgian Cafe a couple of Sundays ago. And there’s plenty to look forward to, including brunch mussels like, smoked salmon, red onion, and caper with mussels and charcuterie mussels: ham, sausage, goat cheese, and mustard.
The smoky flavor from the salmon permeated Ross’s mussels, giving them an excellent, and unique, flavor. The salmon itself, having cooked with the mussels, was perhaps a bit rubbery, but in such small chunks that it still remained easy to chew. My mussels were excellent, although the flavor from the goat cheese was almost imperceptible (you saw the cheese far more than you tasted it), perhaps because of the strong mustard flavor. I think next time, if I order this dish, I’ll ask for extra cheese.

The Belgian Cafe, where Tavern on Green used to be, is to my opinion the worst place to eat. Same dirty kitchen than before, with greasy sidewalk. No different than the Tavern. Food was horrible. The worst ‘mussels” ever, dry, without taste. Fergus, change your chairs, clean up your kitchen and close that door, respect the neighborhood, please. Looking at the kitchen from the sidewalk was scary. The pomme frite were the most disgusting ever. The croque monsieur was done with poor ingredients. Fergus you can’t use processed cheese in the microwave. Doesn’t work like that. You took the most famous Belgian specialty and destroyed it. The beer is fine, ok. Went there several time for a beer, and 100% of people I have met were disappointed by the food. Clean up your act Fergus, it’s an embarrassment. Will rate the place with an F, hoping for the best.
