Belgium was the very first country in Europe that I visited when I began my Travel Bucket List so it has a very special place in my heart. Check out everything I ate and drank while there and let me know if you’re convinced to visit!
BEER
I loved this particular beer (BarBar) that I tried at a bar in Belgium!
When I think of Belgium, I think of chocolate AND beer so on #InternationalBeerDay I shared a couple of my favorite beers from around the world including this particular beer (BarBar) from Belgium!
Belgium was definitely my favorite place to drink beer and I attribute this to the fact that I made an awesome new friend who taught me all about drinking in Belgium. We even had a drink-off (Mexico vs Belgium). I really thought that years of drinking Tequila would help me in drinking beer…and surprise…IT TOTALLY DID (lol).
We had so many different kinds of beer in Belgium that I still have a hard time keeping track of what we tried, but I will say that ALL of the beer that we tried, was super high in alcohol content. Which took some getting used to. I tried everything from special holiday beer to classics to beers that come in specific contraptions needed to enjoy the full flavor. Here are just a few of my faves:
Pauwel Kwak
Here’s the beer that required a special contraption to drink it. The beer was very good and I felt like a total BAMF drinking this beer haha.
BELGIAN WAFFLE
One of the best waffles I’ve ever tasted in my life was in Belgium! Belgian waffles are without a doubt, the most delicious breakfast/lunch/dinner/snack food in the world. I of course had to add chocolate!
I also tried the speculoos waffle with fresh cream and nutella from La Gaufre in the Brussels Christmas Market. Speculoos is a spiced short crust that kind of reminds me of gingerbread. It was so rich and delicious!
HOT WINE
One of my favorite parts about Christmas Markets was the hot wine for sale! It was SOOOO good, plus they come in cute little souvenir mugs and it’s a great way to stay warm!
