London can be a difficult place for anyone in love with Belgian beers - no need to despair. Lowlander offers a welcome alternative to warm, badly-poured flat pints of British ale from last week’s leftover barrels. Their selection of bottles rivals those of my favorite pubs in Brussels, and any place I can get a Palm on tap is good enough for me. The long narrow wooden tables and beer adverts on the walls give the feel of a Belgian pub with a somewhat more refined modern twist. The eclectic menu offers traditional Belgian/Dutch cuisine alongside English and Mediterranean dishes (I spotted a very tasty-looking mezze platter at the table next to mine). In line with Belgian pub tradition, cheese and meat platters and other snacks to share are plentiful, and I was very happy to find that the sandwich of the day featured Passendaele cheese. This will definitely become one of my go-to meeting places in central London.
