All the Food

Like beer, you're certainly familiar with some aspects of Belgian cuisine. That's because several of these Belgian delicacies are quite delicious! Belgian waffles, Belgian chocolate, and frites have all become instantly identifiable. You've probably heard of moules-frites, Belgium's unofficial national meal, which consists of mussels and fries.

However, there is enough of other cuisine to sample. Speculoos, a spiced biscuit with cinnamon and ginger, and cuberdon, a sweet and sticky cone-shaped confection, are on the sweeter end of the scale. Stoverij, a dark beer-braised beef stew, and waterzooi, a creamy chicken stew, are two savory options. Cubes of sharp cheese dipped in mustard are a truly addictive way to fill up while enjoying a few beers as a bar snack.

So go ahead and start with the Belgian cuisine you're familiar with, but don't miss out on all the amazing Belgian delicacies you didn't know existed!
