🦪 Must-try delicacies: fresh mussels
On-the-spot feeling: The most surprising thing about this trip to Brussels is that the mussels are really fresh, whether you order a pot in some restaurants, or just try the nearby snacks, the real ingredients are not fishy at all. I recommend you to find authentic restaurants around the city center (near Grand Place), especially mussels with french fries (Moules-Frites), very good! I'll reminisce immediately after eating it. It's worth a try!
