What you'll do

Keen for a waffle from the backstreets of Brussels? We promise it’s not as dodgy as it sounds.

You’ll join one of our food-crazy local Brussels hosts who can’t wait to take you on a culinary journey of their city that’ll have you sampling all things authentically Belgian like a Flemish stew cooked in Belgian beer, delightful chocolate, and fluffy waffles and fries.

No - not French fries, but Belgian frites. (Word to the wise - never, ever, under any circumstances mention French fries).

 

You’ll be able to tell the difference after a bite or two.

With just 3 hours for your own all you can eat, it’s up to you and your host whether you sample from local family-owned brasseries, ambient taverns, artisanal chocolate shops, or hole-in-the-wall restaurants that serve real Belgian food with a passion.

Or all of them!

And of course, you’ll pick up some street food along the way too, since it would be a crime to miss out on Belgian waffles while you’re in town.

Reviews

    Salvatore was very friendly and accommodating to our very hungry teenager. He modified the tour on the spot to show us sites we had not already seen and to make sure our daughter got to sample the local chocolate, frites and waffles. Very well trained guide - particularly regarding the local history and culture. He also has a great sense of humor.

    We had a great time on this intimate and personalized food tour. Our tour guide Michael was very cool and knowledgeable about the foods we'd be trying and origin stories. He also had great conversation about life in the city as well and how things are there for the people. We traveled with a 1 and 5 year old at the time and he was very friendly/accommodating with them. We also had a couple of food restrictions that he worked with the restaurants and shops we went to ahead of time to ensure all would be well. It was a good time and definitely worth the price.

    Michaël Martin was a fantastic guide! We tasted a lot of local cuisine and learned a lot about Brussels in a short time. Would recommend this tour for anyone especially those with only a short time in the city!

    Ricardo was terrific! Every single stop was tasty and delicious and accompanied by fun historical and architectural facts. He took us to parts of the city we might not have discovered on our own. Very highly recommend! Thanks City Unscripted!
