We're missing Brussels already - but thought we'd take the opportunity to share some of our favourite places....
 |
| First stop: Cantillon Brewery to sample this year's Zwanze, a wild
Brussels stout. Not as sour as expected, but it's still there...with a
stouty sweetness as the base flavour. Very drinkable. |
 |
Only available to drink at the brewery, this Cantillon made with Carignan grapes was an unexpected (and delicious) surprise - we couldn't resist and weren't disappointed - the Carignan adds an earthiness and hints at terroir.
|
 |
| We finally made it to the Horta Museum - well worth a visit. |
 |
This year's star find - an amazing pastelaria in the centre of Brussels - took us straight back to Lisbon, but with some amazing flavour twists - our favourites were the lime/pine nut/honey, speculoos and lemon varieties.
|
 |
| Oh, and they do takeout too... |
 |
| No matter how many places we try, Fritland is still our favourite - there's a reason the queues are so long! |
 |
| Love him or hate him, you can't avoid the Mannekin Pis |
 |
Not the best photo but the only one I have from our final evening in our favourite Brussels restaurant Wine Bar Sablon des Marolles, which has a great wine selection including the above, a great example of a natural wine.
 |
| A first for us and we've yet to try this, but it'll be our first taste of Belgian wine...watch this space for a report back! |
