What to Do in Brussels? Eat, Drink, Be Happy, Brussels, Belgium

The capital of Belgium AND of Europe! Known as the political center of Europe, but we found Brussels has a fantastic sense of humor, and some of the best food and drink you’ll find anywhere. If you’re planning a visit, let us show you what to do in Brussels..

The city is famous for beer, waffles, and chocolate and more. Here’s some recommendations that will have you loosening your belt in no time..

In the “City of Beer” there’s no shortage of incredible breweries, pubs, and shops offering an amazing selection of bubbly goodness.. Our favorite? Just southwest of the city center lies the famously wonderful Cantillon Brewery. Take a tour through this brewery/ Gueuze (a style of beer) Museum and enjoy a glass of the good stuff when you finish.

Brussels has you covered from breakfast to desert with their world-famous foods. Head to Vitalgaufre northeast of the city center for some authenticly yummy Belgium waffles. Next, find Maison Antoine for the best frites (aka French fries) you’ve ever had. Not to be outdone, grab a table at ‘Probably the most Brussels restaurant of the world”, Chez Leon, for some mouth watering local mussels. Did we mention chocolate?? We did.. Finish up your Brussels food tour with a visit to Neuhaus Chocolatier, inventor of the praline! The only worry is which chocolate to choose! Really one of our favorite foodie days ever. ......
