Mechelen from Brussels is the small-city day. The Mechelen cuckoo chicken is the protected local breed; modern Flemish bistros run around the cathedral square and the Dijle riverside.

Tournai ★ 4.2

Tournai from Brussels is the Walloon farmhouse-cooking day. The Romanesque cathedral, the Grand Place brasseries, the Tournaisis goat-cheese tradition and the proximity to the French border.

Ghent ★ 4.7

Ghent is the closest food day-trip from Brussels: medieval city centre, the canal-side cuberdon vendors, Veggie Thursday-leading restaurants and a craft-beer scene that runs into Saint-Jacobs.

Bruges ★ 4.5

Bruges from Brussels is the medieval-day food trip: canal-side pubs, De Halve Maan brewery on Walplein, Flemish stew with chips at every brown cafe, and a chocolate map nearly as deep as the capital's.

Antwerp from Brussels is the design-and-fine-dining day. The Jane two-star, the natural-wine bars of Sint-Andries, the diamond-quarter Hasidic food map and the busy port-city brunch scene.
