Building a top-menu in EPiServer 7 using MVC and Razor

Question

I'm trying to figure out how to implement a menu in EPiServer 7. The only documentation available shows how to do this with webforms which I'm not using

Any advice how to do this?

thanks

Did write a solution before anyone beat me to it :)

@using EPiServer
@using EPiServer.Core
@using EPiServer.Filters
@using EPiServer.Web.Mvc.Html

<ul id="mainMenu">
        @{ 
            PageData startPage = ContentReference.StartPage.GetPage();
            PageDataCollection allChilds = DataFactory.Instance.GetChildren(((PageData)startPage).PageLink);
            IEnumerable<PageData> filteredChilds = FilterForVisitor.Filter(allChilds).Where(p => p.IsVisibleOnSite() && p.VisibleInMenu);
        }

        @foreach (PageData item in filteredChilds)
        {
            <li>
                <a href="/@item.URLSegment.ToString()">
                    @item.Name
                </a>
            </li>
        }
</ul>

Where GetPage is an extension method

public static PageData GetPage(this PageReference pageLink)
{
    return DataFactory.Instance.GetPage(pageLink);
}
