4 Best Brussels Food & Cooking Tours 2022

The best part of our Brussels trip

I am so glad I decided to book this tour for me and my best friend, we learnt all the best things about Brussels and so much more about chocolate! Without this tour we would have wondered around naively and fallen into tourist traps whereas we learnt about the best places to eat and shop so we could really get the best out of Brussels

5 stars.

I had a good time because the group was only 5 people and lasted only a couple of hours. Just right. And delicious waffles.

The tour was utterly fantastic. Belgian chocolate is so good because they use cocoa butter instead of palm oil. It mostly comes from its African colony, the Belgian Congo but the best is made using cacao beans from Ghana and Madagascar. Our walk took us for tastings at 6 of THE most exclusive chocolate boutiques in Brussels – almost all chocolate here is made by hand. The shops we visited were all fabulous and the quality increased from the beginning to the end of the tour. We also passed some important cultural attractions like the Manneken-Pis (small statue of a boy taking a pee – no one seems to know the legend behind it but tourists flock there to take photos) City Gates, the elegant Royal Galleries of St Hubert (the first shopping arcade in Europe built in mid-19th century) and some comic-art wall murals along the way and there was a 1 hour hands-on workshop at the half way point – our creations were beautifully wrapped and presented to us at the end of the walk.

Fantastic tour that hits all the highlights of Brussels!

This tour is the perfect combination of food, fun, and facts. Not only was our guide knowledgable about the history of the city, he was acutely aware of the current hits and misses in terms of food, culture, and shopping. He smoothly guided us through historical highlights and was spot-on with his food, beverage, and chocolatier guidance. This tour is packed with eats and drinks. All 5 of the ladies in our group were so full that we skipped dinner that night. And we were happy to do so because the food we ate on the tour was so fantastic. We got insights in to how to navigate the streets of Brussels like a local and it made us all excited to continue exploring on our own. You'll want to come back to Brussels for more. At least our group does! If you like history and you like to eat and drink, you won't be disappointed with this tour!

Our review is a clear 5 of the tour! Lara (hope I spelled it right) was an amazing guide which made the tour amazing! Some feedback:

1. It could help to for example have a flag at the starting point to make it more clear where the meeting point is.

2. The tour felt very personal and not something Lara "had" to do. It felt like she really wanted to do this for us which made it more interesting.

3. Lara was really knowledgeable and could answer every question asked. She is really the right person for the job!

This was easily the highlight of our trip! Keep up the good work and thank Lara from us!

We were taking a break from Paris and took the train to Brussels for a day. We decided to do the food tour which included mussels, cheese, beer, waffles and chocolate. Our tour guide was amazing! We walked about the main square, stopping in various shops and restaurants. She did an excellent job showing us the city and giving us the scoop on the local life and also where to avoid. She recommended a restaurant for dinner that night, which was incredible.
It was a great way to spend one day in Brussels.
Tip - don't each lunch before the 1P meet. You will get plenty of food and drink over the 4 hour tour.

The guide, Avo, was fantastic. His knowledge of the city and his knowledge of chocolate and its history could not be beat. I appreciated hearing what a true Chocolatier is and hearing that there are mainstream companies in Brussels that have not tried to improve upon their chocolate over the years. I was only in Brussels for the day and wouldn't have been able to see and know everything Avo showed us on my own. The chocolate tasting exceeded my expectations and the workshop was very fun. I highly recommend the Global Enterprises chocolate workshop and tasting tour.

Beer tour

We booked ooked for Belgian Beer and Food Pairing but due to a mix up in the booking we didn't get to go on it. We were given option to go on Beer tour instead and we are pleased we did it.
Sebastien was a great tour guide, absolutely into everything beer (when not working as a barman he does the tours) and very knowledgable about beer and Brussels. We went to some great little bars which although near the Grand Place are not tourist traps!
Wonderful beers, great group of people on the tour, super bars and in a thoroughly enjoyable beer tour. Well worth doing!

Excellent tour

Gorgeous food, interesting history, and a gracious tour guide--no one could ask for more. We thoroughly enjoyed this small group tour with Avo. The first part of the tour was a brief history of Brussels followed by a visit to a small, historic bar where we enjoyed lambic beer. Next up a bit more sightseeing followed by a lovely, and very large, lunch. Then more sightseeing mingled with chocolate tasting, waffles, and more chocolate. The tour is a delightful way to be introduced to Brussels and Brussels cuisine. Highly recommend!

Knowledgable your guide and great food

We really struggled to find a food tour in Brussels (apart from just beer and chocolate!), this tour was recommended via a blog & I'm so glad we found it.

Our guide Avo was so knowledgeable about the history of Brussels & obviously enjoyed taking tours. Our tour even over ran and he was very relaxed about the additional time he gave up for us (mostly due to food service times). I would highly recommend this tour, it was so interesting, we ate lots and it gave us great ideas for the rest of our stay.

Thanks Avo!

Great Tour

This tour was amazing, our guide Daniel was very knowledgeable & went out of his way to make sure we were not disappointed even though our tour was done in the rain. The food was a fantastic full sit down meal, you won't need to eat beforehand. The only thing I would say is this is more a sight & meal tour with a small tasting of chocolate & beer, so if you are looking for more of this you may be disappointed. I would highly recommend this tour.

My boyfriend and i chose this tour and we both loved it! Especially the mussels and fries dish ( typical Belgian dish) was spot on and even better than we expected. There were also other couples joining the tour, so i would highly recommend this tour if you travel with your beloved ones, you will definitely enjoy it to the fullest.
I am really glad we made this choice

I went on the tour guided by Mark (I believe) and it was amazing...literally one of my favorite experiences ever. He was super funny and informative and the bragging rights won by eating so many high quality chocolates makes the memory even better. 5 star rating! Would love to go on one of his beer tours one day!
