Food in Brussels is mostly local. You may not find too many multi-cuisine restaurants, but the local cuisine is worth exploring.  Experience the Belgian Café culture, and do taste the famous Belgian Beer. Brussels is also famous for its Waffles. You may find it all around the city. Make sure to try the famous Godiva chocolates. This Belgian chocolate is famous all around the world. As far as shopping is concerned, it’s neither too good nor too bad. We would suggest you spend more time in exploring the city.
