Belgo Noord is much more of a small restaurant / bar feeling. It's more personal, and possibly more romantic. You should probably reserve for this.

Belgo Centraal is the best of the bunch I reckon, quite lively indeed in the unreserved area, but can be quite still in the reserved bit. A bit of the fun here is waiting about the kitchen[1]

I've only been to Belgo Suid once, and my only comment is that it's very disorientating. Almost everyone I know who has gone there has felt seasick. Oh, and it's a bit far out.

I'd say the food was about equal in all three. Hmmm. I wonder what other people think. Anyone been to the ones outside London (eg Bristol, and New York)?

[1] The microbrewery opposite this is quite a good place to
    meet people beforehand...

This place used to be fun and cheap - it is not any longer. And the menu is too complicated.
