As an ambassador for Belgium, chocolate appears adorned in all its glory in the shop windows of the craftsmen of chocolate-making. Lined up like trophies, the famous 'pralines' can be found in every display window. Master chocolate-makers have also ventured into more exotic ranges.
Finally, to just melt with pleasure, go to the area around the Grand-Place and try 'spéculoos', traditional, light, crispy biscuits, there.
On this gourmet trail, real connoisseurs will also be able to take a break or two wherever our famous beer is to be found. Brown, blond, special or fruity, it's everywhere and, like chocolate, is prepared and enjoyed with great expertise.
