"Moules a Go-Go, the best place for mussels in Chester.

The restaurant has tonnes of seating and has really funky decor. Very hip and trendy. The staff are friendly and attentive too

I'm delighted this place survived COVID, it's been around for nearly 25 years which speaks volumes."

Jay “ThatBlokeCalledJay” Clark

"Tried most restaurants in Chester and this one is the first one brings the wow feeling. Fish and duck leg taste great. Desert tastes very impressive. Oyster …is just oyster, could clean more thoroughly. Portion is relatively small . Overall good food and good atmosphere at lunchtime. Polite and attentive service."

Felix Fu

"It is a genuine restaurant, and I absolutely love it—I keep going back again and again. The food is consistently excellent, and the service is fantastic. Right now, it’s definitely my favourite restaurant.
You do need to enjoy mussels to start with, but the starter board is amazing, and the oysters were truly satisfying perfectly prepared, and go perfectly with wine."
