What you'll do
Join one of our Local Foodie's who will take you on a culinary journey of the city. Try authentic Belgian food like a Flemish stew cooked in Belgian beer and Belgian frites - don’t ever mention French fries! Sample from local family owned brasseries or hole in the wall restaurants that serve real Belgian food. Pick up some street eats on the way too, since it would be a crime to miss out on Belgian waffles. Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.

There are also traditional pain sucrés to taste at Maison Dandoy; think gingerbread made with honey and spices and filled with pearl sugar, ginger, apples or fruits. This bakery is still making Belgian sweet pastries to their great-great-great grandfather’s recipes - they’re just that good!

You could visit artisanal maisons du chocolat and quirky chocolate boutiques where chefs are getting creative with their truffle flavors - Laurent Gerbaud offers flavors ranging from olive oil to ginger and even curry - or you could keep to the classic, impossibly creamy pralines which Belgium is so famous for. Or perhaps you’d prefer a fresh waffle dusted with sugar at a quirky cafe with tables spilling out onto the sidewalk?
