Experience Details

Join one of our Local Foodie's who will take you on a culinary journey of the city. Try authentic Belgian food like a Flemish stew cooked in Belgian beer and Belgian frites - don’t ever mention French fries! Sample from local family owned brasseries or hole in the wall restaurants that serve real Belgian food. Pick up some street eats on the way too, since it would be a crime to miss out on Belgian waffles.
