F&B Time


If you can’t snag a reservation at one of the trendy pop up restaurants in Brussels, try Belga QueenThe foie gras with Belgian chocolate was to die for. I mean, really? Foie gras and chocolate? Together? Heaven.

And speaking of chocolate, you can’t visit Brussels without indulging in three things: Chocolate. Beer. Frittes. For a gluttonous day, walk the streets of the old town and sample the chocolates at the plethora of chocolate shoppes: Leonidas, Neuhas, Mary, and Galler are just a few of your options.  The Galler “Cat Tongues” are quite popular. 




Then go on a fritte adventure. Every local has their own idea of who has the “perfect frittes”—we asked.  I enjoyed Fritland…and be sure to ask for the secret sauce—Andalusian Sauce. It’s kinnda like the Animal Style at In N Out. It’s not on the menu, but most people seem to “know” about it. And be sure to wash it down with a favorite local beer, Jupiler.
