Bruges waffles are often served hot with pearl sugar that caramelizes on the griddle, giving each bite a crackling sweetness and a uniquely crisp texture.

Bruges is famed for artisan chocolatiers who still handcraft pralines, and you can watch chocolate sculptures being made in shop windows that look like edible art.

Speculoos is a spiced shortbread traditionally baked for St. Nicholas, its caramelized brown sugar and warm spices make it the perfect cookie to dunk in coffee.

Belgians claim moules-frites as their national dish, and in Bruges you can try mussels steamed in beer with a side of perfectly crisp fries.

Stoofvlees is a slow-cooked Flemish beef stew made with dark beer and mustard. The beer breaks down the meat until it becomes melt-in-your-mouth tender.

Belgian fries are traditionally fried twice for a golden, crunchy exterior and a fluffy interior, and you will often eat them from a paper cone with a dollop of mayo.

Belgian beer culture includes hundreds of styles and distinctive glassware, many breweries trace recipes back centuries and monks still brew some of the most sought-after Trappist ales.

Jenever is the juniper-flavored spirit that predates gin, in Bruges locals sometimes drink it neat then follow it with a small beer as a ritual called a kopstoot.

Hot chocolate in Bruges is often closer to melted chocolate than to cocoa, rich and thick enough to be eaten with a spoon and enjoyed in cosy cafés alongside a fresh waffle.
