Perfect Provenance

Food - and beer - play an important role in Belgian life and the country boasts both well-known traditional recipes and world-class beers. Say Brussels and certain dishes spring quickly to mind - mussels and frites for one - but Belgian cuisine offers much more and there's certainly no reason not to eat good food!

For an introduction to traditional Belgian cuisine and the influence of foreign foods, see the INFOrmation Page on Foods of Belgium. If you like to cook for yourself you can be sure to find your regional, seasonal specialities at the local food markets. To find out when and where, you can refer to the page on Markets in Brussels.

Like to eat out in one of the region's many wonderful restaurants? Craving Indian? Sushi? Classic French? AngloINFO can help you discover where to go to find the flavours you want. In the Food & Drink category of The AngloFILE, AngloINFO's local directory of English-speaking businesses, you'll find listed suppliers of local and international ingredients, local restaurants, bars and pubs.

And you certainly won't go thirsty in Brussels. Belgium's beer makers have been producing the beverage since the Middle Ages. To help understand the over 450 varieties of Belgian beer, see Wines & Beers of Belgium.

If you'd prefer to sit back and browse through glossy pictures of perfect platters, have a look at the selection of titles in the Food & Drink section of the Bookshop.

Finally, the AngloINFO Local Discussions is an excellent place to share recommendations of local restaurants and food suppliers.

Smakelijk eten! and Bon appétit!
