Culinary treats and Belgian Beer

The love of food and flavour is in a Fleming’s blood, and good taste is rooted in our DNA. In Flanders, food lovers taste flavors and dishes they can't find anywhere else, thanks to the variety in local products.

We are living the good life. We are proud of our fries, beer and chocolate. Small-scale microbreweries are emerging, young chefs are innovating in the kitchen with zero waste, experimenting with local ingredients and chocolatiers are redefining the classic praline. Expertise and know-how are passed down from from generation to generation. That’s what keeps our culinary heritage alive.

Flanders is the place to be for the epicurean. Take a look in the Bistronomie guide for a collection of the best no-nonsense restaurants in Belgium. Or find all restaurants by city on Resto.be.
