First, we have a traditionally Belgian treat that every good tourist tastes when visiting Belgium. the cuberdon consists of sugar, gum arabic and very 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 tastier. Make sure, from now on, to taste well-known and good quality cuberdons to live the full sweet experience of these wonders.

Also, don't forget to try another traditional dish, the spéculoos. This is a cinnamon-flavored cookie that is eaten, mostly, during the feast of Saint Nicholas (December 6). Its traditional form is in Saint-Nicholas but we find all forms today. This cookie has become popular in other foods such as ice cream, spreadable butter, tiramisu and many more. You will find it almost everywhere, including brasseries and restaurants, to accompany your coffee.$

3. Belgian Chocolate, a product not to be missed

With more than 2000 chocolate shops in Belgium, you will leave with a suitcase full of chocolate (if you don't eat them before your departure of course). The most famous brand of Belgian chocolate is Neuhaus, also famous for having invented chocolate praline, another traditional delicacy of this wonderful country. If you like chocolate do not hesitate to visit the NEHAUS Outlet store, Or LEONIAS outlet in Brussels.

4. Belgian beer

Finally, do not leave Brussels without taste a real Brussels waffle. It is a large rectangular waffle that is served hot and can be accompanied by Chantilly cream, impalpable sugar, strawberries or other. No ingredient will work with this delicious waffle, top it with whatever you want and it will taste even better. Do not confuse it with the Liégeoise waffle, which is rather round! If you want to eat a waffle to go, don't miss the new address to eat waffles to take away in the Bois de la Cambre.
