I found some amazing food that I&#8217;d go back to on a regular basis on future trips to Brussels. Most of everything is in the Grand Place area.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scheltema.be\/\">Scheletema<\/a> has been around since 1972. They serve high quality food. Try their steak (filet mignon). Try their tuna. They have awesome scallops for a starter. Their menus can also be relatively good value for money.<\/p>\n<p>Brussels is famous for &#8220;<em>moules et frites<\/em>&#8221; (mussels &#038; fries). Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chezleon.be\/index.asp?intro\">Chez Leon<\/a>. Its always crowded, has been around since 1893, and they have excellent mussels. Their Leon beer isn&#8217;t too bad either.<\/p>\n<p>Want beer? Check out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.deliriumcafe.be\/\">Delirium Cafe<\/a>. Its in the Guinness Book of Records for holding over 2,000 beers in stock. Their tap beers are awesome too. I&#8217;ve quite enjoyed Barbar. <\/p>\n<p>Waffles are available everywhere. For tradition, visit <em>Le Funambule Waffles<\/em>, which is near to <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Manneken_Pis\">Manneken Pis<\/a>. They&#8217;ve been around since 18xx. <\/p>\n<p>Fries are also everywhere, be sure to try out many of the sauces.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon\" href=\"mailto:?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20Food%20in%20Brussels&body=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bytebot.net%2Fblog%2Farchives%2F2012%2F02%2F12%2Ffood-in-brussels&share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email a link to a friend\" data-email-share-error-title=\"Do you have email set up?\" data-email-share-error-text=\"If you&#039;re having problems sharing via email, you might not have email set up for your browser.
