The place to eat mussels in Liege!
Located close to Liege-Guillemins train station, the Duc d'Anjou attracts a local crowd, couples and families eating out in a relaxing atmosphere, almost pub-like even though it has an almost poshy decoration.
Mr. Noel, the restaurant manager opened this restaurant a quarter of a century ago. The menu offers more than twenty kinds of mussels preparations, from the "moules marinière", the most common preparation and the most asked, sometimes with white wine sauce to the most exotic preparations "Italian Mussels", "Portuguese Mussels", "Provencale Mussels", etc.
The famous Belgian beer "Blanche de Hoegaarden" (or "Blanche" in the local patois) is highly recommended with mussels. And the fries served are tasty, cooked the Belgian way (cooked twice: once at 150 degrees and the second time at 190 degrees).
If you are not into mussels, the waiter can suggest you other typically Belgian meals such as roast chicken with apple compote, or various kinds of meat (rabbit, frog legs, different beefsteaks with the sauce of your choice, all served with French fries or potatoes).
The restaurant usually caters to individuals, couples or small groups without reservation. For larger groups, a reservation is recommended.
There is a smoking and non-smoking zone. Just tell the waiter whichever you prefer.
Open non-stop from 11:30 am until 11:30pm, this restaurant is the ideal place to eat typically Belgian food for a decent price and also the ideal place to celebrate something quietly.
