After working on Sunday morning in the office, Mum and I went off for lunch at Soho without much planning. We saw this small, delicate shop with a blackboard saying "Mussels Special" standing at the front door, and we decided to go in and see if we could relive the delicious memories of having mussles in Belgium.The shop offers French style Crepes (both savory and sweet), which is the type that has the thin wheat "skin".

After working on Sunday morning in the office, Mum and I went off for lunch at Soho without much planning. We saw this small, delicate shop with a blackboard saying "Mussels Special" standing at the front door, and we decided to go in and see if we could relive the delicious memories of having mussles in Belgium.
The shop offers French style Crepes (both savory and sweet), which is the type that has the thin wheat "skin". Mussels are offered with fries, along with a selection of white wine sauce, white wine sauce + cream or curry(!). We picked the most normal sauce (ie white wine) and a mustard honey chicken crepe.
The portion of the mussels was just right. It gave us enough space for the crepe. Mussels (black shell, not the Chinese green shell) were a little well cooked, probably because they were imported, so they had to be more well cooked. The sauce was rich, with an abundant amount of garlic and shalloth, but it was rather a bit too salty for us, which proved that the cooking was authentic! (French people take very salty food!!) The fries were freshly made and were delicious.
The crepe was great and I love the wheat that was used in the crepe. The chicken was a bit well cooked (I think it's white meat) but the honey mustard compensated the slight roughness of the meat. The salad that came at the side of the crepe provided a good balance of some vitamins and fibre to our meal.
Overall, it was a pleasant lunch, but a little over-priced. The place was small but quite cozy. I wouldn't suggest having a big party going there though, because it seems like the chef would only be able to make one dish after another. The "server" was a French gentleman, who groomed and dressed well. It's quite different from the rest of Soho because it made me feel that I'm really in Brittany, while the other restaurants gave me this very artifical feeling.
