Set in an old veterinarean office that has been stripped to the bone and made into an establishment with tons of character. This ultra casual place is totally unpretancious. From the front is kind of hard to extablis h its location as there is no large sign out front other than a non lit sign on the window.
Perfect for a friends night out, GM offers a wide selection of beers. Beers not easily found at the local liquor store. Make sure that with those beers (notice how I plurilized) you order the frites with an array of dipping sauces....the truffled one is to die for.
The wait times can be a little offputting, but it's nothing to worry about, if you come on a weeknight at around 6 or 7 you should be fine. Plus there are always the bars (one upstairs and one downstairs). Additionally, if there is a wait, the guy at the door will take your telephone number and call you when they are ready. You do not have to stay within the premises, you can in fact wonder to a nearby watering hole and enjoy some brew there if you prefer.
The main attraction of the place are the mussels, please keep in mind mussels are better during the months that end with er, such as September - December. The mussels steamed in many sauces. My favorite is the moules bleu, or bleu mussels in a blue cheese sauce. Phenomenal when soaked up by bread.
All the other food, wich I have honeslty never had, I have been informed is delicious. If you are a true foodie this is a must try place for you.
