The Flemish eat out a lot and are rather particular when it comes to gastronomy especially in regards to quality and inventiveness. If a restaurant, old or new, isn't quite 'cutting the mustard' it's out of business. Flanders is a melting pot of cultures and this is clearly represented in the variety of cuisines available. There are more than 2000 restaurants in Brussels alone, so it would be difficult to name them all. But suffice it to say that whether you're in the mood for traditional local cuisine or international fare, we've got it covered. For sure you will never get hungry during your visit. |
