Each pot of mussels is freshly cooked and full of flavour. Even better? You get to choose from six mouth-watering flavours that will transport your taste buds straight to Belgium.
The Flavours You Need to Try
The best part of Monday Mussels Madness is the variety of flavours. Whether you love classic tastes or enjoy something spicy or creamy, there’s a mussel pot just for you.
1. Natural
Simple and classic. This flavour lets the freshness of the mussels shine. Lightly seasoned with herbs and steamed to perfection, it’s the best option if you want to taste the mussels in their purest form.
2. Mariniere
A true Belgian favourite. Cooked with white wine, garlic, and herbs, Mariniere is rich, aromatic, and delicious. It’s one of the most popular styles in Belgium, and once you try it, you’ll understand why.
3. Thai Curry
Feeling adventurous? This flavour is for you. With a spicy coconut curry base and Asian-inspired spices, Thai Curry mussels bring a delightful kick that’s perfect if you enjoy bold tastes.
4. Blue Cheese
A flavour for the brave! Creamy, rich, and strong, the Blue Cheese mussels are for those who love bold cheeses. This pot is smooth and indulgent – a real treat for cheese lovers.
5. Hot & Spicy
For the heat seekers! This version brings the fire with a spicy sauce that’s sure to wake up your taste buds. If you like a little kick with your seafood, this is your go-to.
Pro Tip: Go for the Unlimited Option
If you are someone who cannot stop at only one pot, then the unlimited option for AED 199 is the best way to experience all tastes. You can try some styles, mix and match, and get your favourite. This is a great way to share with friends – just order different tastes and pass them!
Don’t Forget the Fries
In Belgium, mussels are traditionally served with fries (frites), and the Belgian Beer Cafe follows that custom with perfection. Their golden, crispy fries are the ideal companion to your mussels. Dip them in the leftover broth for an extra burst of flavour – it’s a game-changer.
Pair Your Mussels with the Perfect Beer
Belgian Beer Cafe offers over 40 types of beer, and their selection is one of the largest in Dubai. With so many options, you might wonder what pairs best with mussels.
Here are a few great beer pairings to try:
- Witbier (White Beer) – Light, citrusy, and refreshing. Great with Natural or Mariniere mussels.
- Belgian Tripel – Strong and slightly sweet. Pairs well with the richness of Blue Cheese mussels.
- IPA – Bold and hoppy, ideal for the Thai Curry or Hot & Spicy flavours.
- Amber Ales – Smooth and malty. Perfect with Provençal mussels.
Not into beer? No problem! Ask the friendly staff for wine or mocktail recommendations. They’ll help you pick the best drink to complement your meal.
The Ambience: Old-World Belgian Charm
One of the best things about Belgian Beer Cafe is the atmosphere. Inspired by the 18th-century Belgian bars, the interiors are hot, welcoming and full of character. Dim lights, decorations, and a classic touch make you feel as if you have stepped into a comfortable inn in the heart of Brussels.
It is a great place to rest after a long Monday, catch up with friends, or even after a casual date night.
