Tourism and Cuisines

   

Eating out is one of the great pleasures in life. It’s also one of the joys of travel. There’s nothing like a new city, new restaurants and new culinary experiences. For a city the size of Belfast the choice of places to eat is surprising. We offer everything from fine dining, brasseries and bistros to gastro pubs, cafes, coffee shops and some of the best fish & chips around. Have we whet your appetite? Good. Dig in! 

The standard of cooking in Belgian restaurants is high: some commentators say you can eat better here than in France – even though the style of cuisine is essentially French. The Belgians themselves have a highly developed nose for good food: they like it to be seasonal, based on good-quality ingredients, cooked with fine judgement, and good value for money – and they won’t stomach pretension. 

So all should be well and good in Brussels, except that the place is full of foreigners who don’t know any better. As a result, it is quite possible to eat badly here. So the best advice is: if in doubt, listen to what the Belgians recommend, and eat where the Belgians eat.  

Brussels’ cobbled alleyways, historic avenues and picturesque squares are home to some of the best dining spots in Europe. As the heart of the continent, the city takes full advantage of its location and status, bringing home a plethora of cuisines and signature dishes. While options abound.
