Belgian Waffles

Belgium is famous for its waffles, and there are two main types: Brussels and Liège. Brussels waffles are light, airy, and rectangular with deep pockets, often served with powdered sugar, whipped cream, or fruit. Liège waffles are denser and sweeter, with caramelised sugar baked into them, giving them a distinct crunch.

Moules-Frites

Moules-Frites, or mussels and fries, is a classic Belgian dish. Fresh mussels are steamed in a variety of broths, often with white wine, shallots, and parsley, and served with crispy golden fries on the side. It’s a hearty and flavorful meal that perfectly showcases Belgium’s love of seafood.

Stoemp

Stoemp is a traditional Belgian comfort food, made by mashing potatoes with other vegetables like carrots, leeks, or Brussels sprouts. It’s often flavoured with butter and cream and served as a side dish with sausages, bacon, or meat. This hearty dish is especially popular during the colder months.

Belgian Chocolate

Belgium is world-renowned for its high-quality chocolate, known for its smooth texture and rich flavours. Belgian chocolates like Godiva, Neuhaus, and Leonidas are globally recognized. Pralines, filled chocolates with a variety of creams, nuts, and fruit fillings, are a particularly popular Belgian creation.

Steak Tartare

Steak Tartare, or "Filet Américain" as it’s known in Belgium, is raw minced beef mixed with seasonings like onions, capers, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard. It’s usually served with fries, salad, or bread, and garnished with a raw egg yolk. This dish is a staple in Belgian brasseries.
