Sounds like your main starch was baguettes, not that I blame you. They look great. Did you get any fries with your Moules Frites? Sounds like your main starch was baguettes, not that I blame you.

And although I have to agree that Chambar does have big mussels and the soup does contain more stuff, I didn't like the soup base. Perhaps I should have gone with the tomato based soup instead of the coconut based one. I ate mussels in a belgian restaurant in Paris and I thought how tasty and scrumptious the mussels were, even tho they were much smaller. But I do agree, the mussels at Chambar are HUGE! Is that consistent with 'everything in n.america is big' ? haha I’ve actually been to Chambar and have tried their infamous mussels.

Their mussels are bigger and fleshier and the soup have more "stuff" like chopped onions, celery, etc. You MUST go to Chambar if you have not been there and you MUST order their mussels. It's their best selling dish on the menu. Hi there Rosemary! It's been a while! Thanks for remembering and stopping by ... again. Hi MammaViv: Personally, I prefer the mussels in Chambar.

Hi Anonymous: The unlimited fries, I did not even finish what they gave me. I am not sure what the deal is with Belgian fries, they tastes quite normal to me.
