]]> If you’re planning a summer holiday around Europe, you must make a stop in Belgium. Not only is Belgium famous for its funny statues and historical significance, but it is home to many culinary treats that will make your tastebuds dance! Keep reading for a few things you must eat on your trip to Belgium.

Waffles

No matter where you eat them, Belgium waffles are called Belgian Waffles for a reason! They are a staple in Belgium, and wherever you go in Belgium, you can almost always find a store selling waffles. The waffles are traditionally served plain, as they are simply delicious on their own, but many stores also sell them with an abundance of toppings such as fruit and chocolate! The waffles are truly decadent no matter how you eat them.

Chocolate

Belgium is home to many amazing chocolatiers and chocolate shops that make some of the best chocolate in the world. We recommend trying all the chocolate you can get your hands on! The best chocolate brands are often argued about throughout Belgium, but a lot of locals enjoy Mary Chocolates in Brussels.

Belgian Fries

This is a twist on the regular “French Fries,” except Belgium claims them as their own. They are a very popular street food all across Belgium, and are served with a variety of sauces to choose from. Vegetarians beware though, as these fries are often fried in lard, so be sure to ask for a vegetarian version, as some places also offer it!
