You will enjoy six food stops with delicious belgian food during this tour.

• A platter of local cuts and cheeses, right in front of the cathedral in open air. Unbeknownst to most Belgium is a fantastic cheese country, as you’ll discover.
• The most popular starter in Belgium is probably the schrimp croquette, which will be your second discovery.
• Third we stop for a taste of our national dish: Stoofvlees. Our local version of beef stew that combines great with our beers.
• Time to move on to the sweets. Next stop are some amazing belgian chocolates. You’ll discover flavour combinations you would have never expected to work.
• Of course a belgian food tour would not be complete without a delicious belgian waffle.
• Finally we’ll end the tour with our local treats, the Antwerp hands, which link back to the legend of Brabo.

Drinks are not included in the tour, but we offer a drinks-package for those who want to discover more.

• A local champagne beer. This is a beer that gets a second fermentation in the bottle with the ‘methode champagnoise’, so there will be a hint of champagne in the aroma of the beer.
• The local city beer: Bolleke. When people in Belgium think of a Bolleke, they automatically think of Antwerp. Made by the oldest brewery in the city and named after its iconic glass.
• A local liquor with 32 herbs and spices, originally designed as medication. So not only does it taste great, it’s also good for you.

This drinks-package is available for €12 per person and can easily be added during reservation.

If you don’t book the drinks package we recommend bringing a bottle of water yourself which you can fill at water fountains throughout the city.

The tour start at beer shop Abbey nr 8, Handschoenmarkt 8 in Antwerp.
