Brussels will bring you a huge diversity of meal types, but we strongly recommend to get out of the centre of Brussels to discover the best places where you can eat! Please, do not stay stuck in those restaurants next to the Grand-Place (Manneken Pis etc), as these will cost you a lot and you won't eat anything specific.

If you have the chance to eat typical belgian food, I would recommend to you the following: Asperagus a la Flamande, Moules Frites, Carbonnade Flamande, Boulettes sauce Liégeoise, Waterzooi and Stoemp!
