Chicken Waterzoois in Ramekins
Belgian Fries
Roasted Beef Marinated in beer with crispy potato tacos – each bite was an explosion of flavor. The meat was tender, the flavor notes merged well and it’s one of the best pairings with Belgian beer.
Croustillons with Whipped Cream & Speculoos Crumbs | Fruit Tart
Cherry Tomatoes stuffed with Shrimp Salad – every crunchy bite was a mouthful of different flavors. The tomatoes acidity was perfectly paired with the creamy shrimp salad
Haricot Beans with Hazelnut and Orange
Belgian-style Burger with Endive Slaw – another favorite, can be eaten in a bite or two which either way satiates your carb craving after a sip of Belgian beer
