At Stylist, we've definitely in the hastily-munching-a-dry-sandwich-at-our-desks camp, so when we heard about the Belgo express lunch, we though it was time to step away from the computer screen and reclaim our lunchbreak.

You've may have already been to Belgo, the Belgian restaurant chain - it's been around for 10 years and there are a few locations dotted over London. If you haven't, the express lunch is a good excuse to visit.

The restaurant we went to, Belgo Centraal, was bustling, but not too hectic on a Wednesday, and the decor has a chic, European design-y feel, but still cosy enough to settle down to some comfort-food, Belgian style.

Aside from an impressive Chocolate industry and some of the best chips we've ever eaten (the trick is to slather them in mayo or curry sauce), Belgian cuisine is a hearty, slightly stodgy affair - think huge plates of sausages and creamy mash, delicious casseroles, and steamy bowls of fresh mussels with chips. But the Express Lunch Menu is a concise, 'best-of' list featuring slightly lighter dishes that can be eaten in the hour.

On to the Moules. Belgo makes a big deal of the Moules on their menu - you can have them with about seven different sauces, and they are fresh, delivered daily from Shetland mussel farms, rather than the frozen varieties most restaurants serve.
