Belgium is famous for its waffles, fries, moules-frites (mussels with fries), Belgian chocolate, and world-class beer. Traditional dishes like stoofvlees (Flemish beef stew) and waterzooi (a creamy chicken or fish stew) are also worth tasting. Visit a local brasserie or a small chocolate shop for an authentic food experience.
