Brussels Cuisine
Even though Belgium is popular for its snacks, sweets and chocolates, it also an exquisite cuisine with dishes influenced by places like Germany, France and the Netherlands. Some dishes you are sure to come across include, waterzooi, a fish or chicken soup made with eggs and butter, which originated in Ghent and used to be the favourite dish of the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V.
There’s also stoverij or carbonnades flamandes, a beef casserole that is usually served with frites for dipping. In the summer, during mussel season, you should try the unofficial national dish, moules-frites, of fleshy North Sea mussels, traditionally cooked in vegetable and beer or white wine.
