Moules A Go Go

Chester

About the restaurant

As the name suggests, Moules a go-go is famous for its mussels, fresh from the shores of Anglesey, served in a variety of ways from simple Moules Marinieres to Korean. The vast selection of seafood dishes ranging from traditional fish and chips to scrumptious Sea Bass is impressive, though equally appealing are the locally sourced juicy steaks . After 17 successful years in business amongst tough competition, Moules a go-go is still going strong, boasting superb food and a great atmosphere in contemporary yet comfortable surroundings. The head chef and manager have been there since the restaurant’s inception; such longevity is a rare blessing in the tempestuous world of the steaming kitchen, but this dedication shows in the consistency and quality of the food and service. Moules a go-go is a real find in the heart of Chester's history.

All the food was amazing, the staff were friendly and the service was good. We didn’t feel rushed even though we were the last to leave. They even put up Happy Birthday bunting, which was a lovely touch. I can definitely recommend this restaurant.

Food great, service great, only improvement needed is to speed up the food coming out from point of ordering. Owners - take note: One extra chef and one extra waitress would transform the place.
