BELGIAN CUISINE
Belgian cuisine is renowned and there are many prestigious and highly-ranked restaurants in Belgium.
Belgian chocolate and beer are particularly famous and widely sold.
We invite you to visit Godiva, Marcolini, Neuhaus and many others chocolate houses.
There are over 500 varieties of beer and Belgium houses the biggest brewery in the world “ Inbev”.
One of the legendary beers is Trappist beer, traditionally made by monks. Each abbey's beer is served in its own glass and only seven breweries (six of these are Belgian) are allowed to brew Trappist beer.
