When we asked people living in Belgium about good local restaurants, they mentioned...

"We regularly go to Asian restaurants, "Confucius" and if we want to eat a real pizza, we go to "Paolo's idea" near the Schuman square," remarked another expat who made the move to Brussels, Belgium.

"One of Belgium's most beloved restaurants is Comme Chez Soi, located in Brussels. This two-Michelin-starred restaurant is known for its exquisite French cuisine, with dishes like roasted pigeon and veal sweetbreads. The restaurant also has an extensive wine list, making it a great spot for a romantic dinner. Another popular restaurant in Belgium is Sea Grill, located in Brussels. This seafood restaurant is renowned for its fresh seafood dishes, such as lobster, oysters, and mussels. The restaurant also has an impressive wine list, making it a great spot for a special occasion. In Antwerp, the restaurant 't Zilte is a favorite among locals. This restaurant specializes in Belgian cuisine, with dishes like mussels and fries, and a variety of Belgian beers. The restaurant also has a cozy atmosphere, making it a great spot for a casual dinner. Finally, in Ghent, the restaurant De Karmeliet is a must-visit. This restaurant is known for its creative and modern take on Belgian cuisine, with dishes like rabbit terrine and beef tartare. The restaurant also has an extensive wine list, making it a great spot for a special occasion," explained one expat living in Belgium.
