Food in Brussels
When you're in Brussels, it's impossible not to try Brussels sprouts. It's not for nothing that this vegetable is named after the Belgian capital! Tourist reviews also recommend the baked chicory, asparagus and parsnips, as well as the Liège salad of string beans, ham, and potatoes.
Meat lovers won't be disappointed. Brussels restaurants offer rabbit in honey sauce, pheasant medallions, pork baked in a berry sauce, lobster with truffles, and roast lamb.
National cuisine
And, of course, while on vacation in Brussels, you should try the famous Liège waffles and real Belgian beer. The local hoppy beverage is famous for its specific "Belgian flavor," which is achieved thanks to a special method of fermentation in barrels.
The best beers in Belgium are Brussels Goyse and Trappist Beer. They can be ordered in almost any pub, but the best places are the famous Cantillon brewery in the Anderlecht district, founded more than a century ago, or Les Brasseurs de la Grand Place in the city center.
