1. The Belgian Cuberdon

First, we have a traditional Belgian treat that every good tourist tries when visiting Belgium. The cuberdon is made of sugar, gum arabic, and fruity flavors, the most popular being raspberry among more than 30 flavors. Inside this cone-shaped candy is a very sweet, gelatinous liquid that makes the cuberdon even more delicious. From now on, be sure to try reputable, high-quality cuberdons to fully experience the sweetness of these delights.

2. Belgian Speculoos

Also, don't forget to try another traditional treat, speculoos . This is a cinnamon-flavored biscuit that is mostly enjoyed during the Feast of Saint Nicholas (December 6th). Its traditional shape is Saint Nicholas, but today it comes in all shapes and sizes. This biscuit has become popular in other foods such as ice cream, spreads, tiramisu, and many more. You'll find it almost everywhere, including cafes and restaurants, to accompany your coffee.

3. Belgian Chocolate, a product not to be missed

A delight you're probably already familiar with is Belgian chocolate . You'll never have had so much trouble choosing which chocolates you want as in Brussels. With over 2000 chocolate shops in Belgium, you'll leave with a suitcase full of chocolate (if you don't eat it all before you go, of course). The most renowned Belgian chocolate brand is Neuhaus, also famous for inventing praline chocolate, another traditional treat from this wonderful country. If you love chocolate, don't hesitate to visit the NEHAUS Outlet store or the LEONIAS Outlet in Brussels.

4. Belgian beer

And yes, unsurprisingly, beer does contain sugar. So we've added it to our list of sweets to try in Brussels. During your visit to Belgium, stop by one of the many cafes and enjoy a delicious, cold beer from one of the world's most diverse beer collections. Blonde, amber, brown, white, or fruity—take your pick, and you won't be disappointed. Some of the most popular places to enjoy a good Belgian beer include Delirium Café, Moeder Lambic Fontainas, Bier Circus, and many more. Don't miss our article on where to buy beer in Brussels, which tells you all about the best spots. If you don't feel like buying beer in a shop, you can also have it delivered to your home.

5. Brussels waffles

Finally, don't leave Brussels without trying a real Brussels waffle . It's a large, rectangular waffle served warm and can be topped with whipped cream, powdered sugar, strawberries, or anything else you like. No ingredient is off-limits with this delicious waffle; cover it with whatever you want and it will be even better. Don't confuse it with the Liège waffle, which is round! If you'd like to grab a waffle to go, be sure to check out the new waffle-to-go spot in the Bois de la Cambre park.

Hoping that you will have the chance to taste all these dishes during your walk in Brussels, you will not regret it!
