Traditional Sweet Dishes
Belgian waffles
Brussels waffles are light, rectangular and crisp, originally popularized at 19th-century fairs, and their airy texture comes from beaten egg whites and yeast.
Speculoos
Speculoos are spiced biscuits traditionally baked for Saint Nicholas' feast, and their ornate shapes come from carved wooden molds used for centuries.
Chocolate pralines
Brussels invented the filled chocolate praline in 1912 when Jean Neuhaus II replaced hard centers with soft ganaches, creating a giftable candy that launched Belgium's luxury chocolate reputation.
Traditional Savory Dishes
Moules-frites
Moules-frites pairs steaming pots of white wine or herb-scented mussels with crisp Belgian fries, a combination so beloved it is often called Belgium's unofficial national dish.
Stoemp
Stoemp is a rustic Belgian mash of potatoes and seasonal vegetables, once peasant fare that became a comfort-food staple and a perfect vehicle for local sausages.
Carbonnade flamande
Carbonnade flamande is a slow-cooked beef stew braised in dark Belgian beer with brown sugar and mustard, the beer both tenderizes the meat and gives the dish its signature sweet-bitter depth.
Traditional Beverages
Beer
Belgium's beer culture includes hundreds of unique styles and Trappist ales brewed in monasteries, so distinctive that UNESCO declared Belgian beer culture an Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2016.
Jenever
Jenever, the juniper-flavored spirit from the Low Countries, is the direct ancestor of gin, and Belgians often drink it neat from small tulip-shaped glasses in a ritual called a kopstoot when paired with beer.
Hot chocolate
Brussels hot chocolate is famously thick and luxurious, made from melted Belgian chocolate rather than powder, a tradition that dates back to the 17th century when cocoa arrived in Europe.

Skip restaurants right off the Grand Place, walk two blocks into St Catherine for better prices and seafood that locals go to.
Overrated in spots, tourist traps near the main square, but neighborhoods beyond gave us the best little discoveries.
Pretty safe at night, locals were helpful, beer selection blew my mind. Expect crowds around the Grand Place though.
Gray weather but cozy cafes made up for it, perfect for long coffee breaks and sampling fries between museums.
Buy a STIB 24 or 48 hour pass at the metro station, unlimited trams and buses are way cheaper than single tickets.
