Gastronomy in East Belgium
East Belgium is the destination for those who know how to enjoy a good meal. High quality products are the basis of tasty regional cuisine and an impressive gastronomic scene with the very highest standards. Whether it's a country inn or a gourmet restaurant, talented chefs refine traditional dishes and raise them to a high culinary level. The magic word is "terroir" cuisine, which stands for the combination of regional specialities with typical East Belgian recipes.
Trout from the crystal-clear streams of the Ardennes are a classic ingredient in the regional cuisine. In autumn, the game season begins, with pheasant, deer and wild boar. Ardennes ham is a must among the regional products, and a visit to a smokehouse is definitely a must-do.
Anyone visiting East Belgium will soon get the opportunity to convince themselves of the quality of the local beers. The brewers' secret is to make the 'barley juice' with spring water and in a copper kettle. The best known specialities include Belgian waffles and rice cakes, made according to special recipes. And of course, tasty Belgian chips too.
A special tip for your culinary discovery of the region are gourmet tours. These walks, which can be fairly short or a bit longer depending on the participants' wishes and offers on hand, are interrupted in the most pleasant way possible by the option of stopping off for refreshments and/or meals in a variety of restaurants.
