Plunge into Belgium's two greatest obsessions — world-class chocolate and complex Trappist ales — guided by artisan producers in the cobblestoned Sablon and Îlot Sacré quarters. The ultimate edible souvenir of Brussels.
What to expect
Your private guide leads you through the marble-floored Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert to Maison Dandoy for a legendary Brussels waffle warm from the iron, then into the Sablon antiques quarter to a master chocolatier for a hands-on praline tasting workshop. The afternoon pivots to beer at the legendary Delirium Café near the Grand Place, where your guide navigates a curated flight of Trappist and Lambic ales with expert pairing notes. Leave with recipes, producers' cards, and a very happy palate.
Good to know
All within walking distance of the Grand Place — no transport needed. Praline workshop at Maison Dandoy can be pre-booked separately (EUR 30 pp approx). Delirium Café opens from noon. Allow 3–4 hours; ideal for a half-day port call. Excellent option to combine with the Grand Place walking tour in the morning.
