As for the Belgian chocolatiers, they offer products of unrivalled quality and flavour with a well-established world famous reputation. Waffles, spéculoos biscuits, cuberdon candies... Belgium has much to offer food lovers, not to mention its famous chips! Belgium is also the country with the most Michelin-starred restaurants per km² in the world.

Modern and trend-setting, Belgians love beauty. Fashion, furniture and room accessories, Belgian designers adore mixing genres and muddying the waters by tearing down borders! Internationally recognised, Belgian artists have long infiltrated the stores on the smartest avenues of capital cities the world over.
