Bruges Foodie Tour

OVERVIEW

Follow a gourmet guide through the historical heart of Bruges and sample foods that best reflect the cuisine. UNESCO declared Bruges a World Heritage site for its medieval and Gothic architecture so the setting is extraordinarily atmospheric. Even so, the focus will be on food, especially snacks favored by the locals. You will enjoy a thick Belgian waffle and sample a selection of Belgian chocolates, which are exceptionally rich due to their high cocoa content and pure cocoa butter. You will also get to taste Brugge Old Cheese which has a distinctive flavor and aroma. A refreshing Brugse Zot beer and crispy fries – a side dish often cooked in beef tallow – round out the tastings. All your snacks will be enjoyed on the go as you continue your tour. Afterwards, you can independently explore Bruges.
