5 great ideas for a successful Valentine's Day 2021 in Brussels 

Valentine's Day is just a few days away, and one thing is for sure: this year the feeling is quite different. No restaurants, no evenings ending in bars , no trips to the cinema, all because of the pandemic. But the health situation won't stop us from celebrating the holiday of love in the magnificent city of Brussels in style. Indeed, the Belgian capital has plenty to offer couples who want to spend a unique moment on February 14th and sweep their loved one off their feet.

1 – Have a starred chef’s dinner delivered to your home 

This year, although we won't be able to visit our four favorite Brussels restaurants , why not treat yourself to an exceptional dinner at home? Takeaway is more popular than ever, so why not indulge in a meal from a renowned chef like Laurence and Lionel Rigolet of Comme Chez Soi, who are offering an exquisite Valentine's Day menu featuring both land and sea? For those with a more adventurous budget , Chalet de la Forêt is also offering a special Valentine's Day menu this year that will tantalize your taste buds.

2 – A romantic walk to rediscover the city 

Brussels is a magnificent city that deserves to be explored at leisure, getting lost in its charming streets on a beautiful winter afternoon. The city also boasts numerous beautiful parks, like these five shown here . Don't hesitate to enjoy a hot drink with your loved one and stroll hand in hand to appreciate the charm of Brussels.

3 – A tea party in town to share a romantic waffle 

To keep the good vibes going, after an invigorating walk, what could be better than a waffle to recharge your batteries! A waffle in Brussels shared by two is definitely a must for a special moment together. We all have our preferences: with chocolate, cinnamon, fruit—anything is possible when you're looking for the perfect waffle . Find our 2020 waffle selection here to help you choose.

4 – A nice assortment of the best chocolates in Brussels 

Valentine's Day means chocolate! What better place than Brussels to treat your loved one to delicious chocolates? The city is full of little shops offering them, and if you're unsure where to start, here are our tips for finding the perfect one . A box of chocolates is always a wonderful and comforting gift, and as Jacques Brel said, nothing beats chocolates because flowers are perishable.

5 – Evening beer, fries and a good Belgian movie

Our lifestyle has changed this past year, but our desire for simple things remains, and Valentine's Day is the perfect opportunity to spend quality time with your loved one without overdoing it. So why not spend the evening watching a good Belgian film like Man Bites Dog (1992) by Rémy Belvaux, starring Benoît Poelvoorde, for guaranteed thrills, or Dikkenek (2006) by Olivier Van Hoofstadt for plenty of laughs? The only thing missing will be some good Belgian beers! If you'd like to have them delivered, we recommend trying Brewksel: find out more here!
