Hi. I want to discover more local food beyond fries, waffles, and chocolate - since I have lived here for a month now
leuven_dev_newbieWhat are the best foods to taste in Belgium?

garden_teacher_70Most people say you must try moules-frites or chocolate, but it depends on the mood ! For a real meal, mussels are great from July to April and you should also try carbonnade flamande because they cook the beef in dark Belgian beer. There is also the vol-au-vent which is delicious with fries or biscuits. For sweets, you have the light Brussels waffle or the more chewy Liège waffle 😋

leuven_student_lifeStill learning the names of everything in French !! It is so hard
BelgianDreamingPersonally, I like the Brussels waffles or even pancakes more than those dense Liège ones. They are much lighter for a breakfast in Gent. Thanks
super_belgium2U cant forget the sandwich Martino which is a super unique thing you only find here
belgium_vibesmussels with fries is a total staple for me - i eat it all the time. It is a classic for a reason
sunnyside_belgium2Delicious. Carbonnade flamande is also a highly recommended dish if u like stews
