The waffle of Brussels is the typical waffle you can find out in other countries, it is made through a liquid paste that is placed in a waffle maker and while it cooks, gets the shape we are used to. While the waffle of Liège is more like a cookie and it's considered the most authentic!

2. Here everyone loves beer - and you will love it as well!

Did you know that there's a law in Belgium that regulates the composition of the chocolate? That means, in this country there's no such thing as bad chocolate!

And did you know that from 1993 until nowadays, every year in Brussels there's an event exclusively dedicated to chocolate and in which new flavors are presented to the public. It's called Le Salon du Chocolat and it happens in February.
