Le Pré Salé ·
In a country famous for its beer, pairing it with mussels feels only natural. The trick is choosing the right one.
Wheat beer: a light, refreshing pairing
Light and fragrant with citrus and coriander, a Belgian wheat beer is an ideal match for simply steamed mussels.
Blonde ale or gueuze
A Belgian blonde ale pairs well with mussels in a cream sauce. With its tart flavour and local roots, gueuze is the quintessential Brussels pairing.
What about wine?
A dry white wine, such as Muscadet or dry Riesling, remains a classic choice with moules marinières. Enjoy in moderation.
