Eating and Drinking

Belgium surprises gastronomic lovers with its diverse and carefully prepared dishes. The menus at restaurants are often inspired by French cuisine but also have Flemish influences, or a combination of both, and of course international cuisine. Even though chips are well known everywhere in the world, they are wonderful in Belgium and don’t taste so good anywhere else. They are served with a large variety of sauces and you will find kiosks selling them on street corners. The reputation of Belgian chocolates reached beyond national boundaries long ago. And don’t forget the beer! In Belgium there are hundreds of different beers and each region has its own speciality.
