Three things to eat in Belgium

Belgium is a great place to go on holiday due to its diverse cities, fascinating history, and famous beer, plus there are also some amazing things to eat in Belgium that just aren’t the same elsewhere.

Here we share three things to eat in Belgium that are so delicious they may even inspire you to take a trip in the near future.

Belgian waffles

You may be able to get waffles in many different countries, but the ones you find in Belgium boast deeper pockets which makes them perfect for holding your favourite toppings, especially syrup! They have a light and crispy texture rather than being dense and stodgy, and they can be eaten for breakfast, dessert, or as a snack!

You will find waffles in many Belgian eateries, and there are also shops that specialise in waffles that you can take away and enjoy on the go, sometimes you can even find skinny versions on sticks covered in chocolate.

Carbonnade

Carbonnade is a rich, dense beef stew that is different to stews you will find in France as it is made with Belgian beer rather than wine. As well as meat and beer, carbonnade is made with onions, bay leaves, thyme, and mustard. Some people also add mushrooms or enjoy the stew with spiced bread. There are very few meals that you will find which are as hearty and warming as this.

Chocolate

Belgian chocolate is known as being some of the best chocolate in the world, and this sweet treat plays a very important part in the country’s heritage.

You will find chocolate shops scattered all over Belgium where you can discover a number of different flavours and designs, all of which make lovely souvenirs or make a great gift for yourself. You will especially love Belgian chocolate if you prefer a less creamy option with a high cocoa content.
