Authentic Regional Food and Beer

Belgium is known for so much more than its distinctive chocolate, and fresh waffles. Fresh salmon and cod are also local favorites, and with a brewing tradition dating back to 1836, there’s no shortage of refreshing brew in the region. In the Netherlands, bitterballen (beef croquettes) are a local specialty, as are stroopwafels (a thin waffled wafer sandwich filled with caramel or syrup and served warm), and street fries. Or try a couple of our onboard recipes below.
