Flex those mussels
Years ago, when I was backpacking around Europe, my dad took me to a Belgian restaurant in Amsterdam and we ate mussels cooked in white wine and cream. It was a spectacular meal. I can't help but want to relive that meal at Cammeray's Epoque Belgian Beer Cafe, which specialises in mussels and boutique Belgian beers. Through the glass doors there's an agreeable buzz.
