Whenever I think of Belgium, I recall digging into a dish of mussels while seated on a sunny square in Brussels, in the shadow of a lacy medieval spire. My waiter bragged, “In Belgium, we eat as much as the Germans and as fine as the French.”
Wedged between Germany, France, and the Netherlands, Belgium often gets lost in the mix. But this overlooked country rewards visitors with some of Europe’s finest cuisine, including its best beer, creamiest chocolates, and tastiest french fries.
