Although Belgium food is influenced by cuisine from neighbouring countries like Netherlands and France, there’s a variety of different regional tastes that you simply must try. In the southern Walloon region, which boasts of French influences, Belgian restaurants will serve moules-frites, or mussels with fries, a juicy and delicious dish.
Of course, most places to eat in Belgium will serve fries, which they claim to be a Belgian invention and not French. Other Belgium food that deserves a mention is the Waterzooi, a delicious stew made with chicken or fish, along with vegetables, egg and cream.
Also, while this might be up for debate, some of the most popular food in Belgium are the waffles in Liege which owe their caramelised rich taste to the use of pearl sugar. If you have a sweet tooth, you will love Speculaas, the crunchy caramel filled cookies while it would be hard to ignore the creamy Belgian chocolates, pralines included. Here are some Belgian restaurants that you must visit during your trip.
