Brussels cuisine is definitely on par with that of France as long as you find the right restaurant… not to mention, the waffles, the chocolate and the beer. I spent most of my 3-day business trip to Brussels in meetings, but I did manage to sneak out every evening to sit in one of the ubiquitous beer gardens on the Grand Place and enjoy a beer. I also went to see the peeing statue (Manneken Pis), but I think I enjoyed the hot-off-the-press waffle that I bought next door much more than the statue. Both nights, I went a wonderful restaurant called Belga Queen. The first night, I ordered an amazing salad with local goat cheese and a beer reduction. The second night, I ordered a side of frites, but I can't say that I’d chose the Belgian fries over French Fries smothered in harissa sauce from L’As du Falafel in Paris. However, the Neuhaus chocolates that I picked up for Tyler and I to celebrate our anniversary definitely were some of the best milk chocolates that either or us has ever tasted.
