More food day trips in Brussels

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 ★ 4.6

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.

Leuven ★ 4.4

Leuven from Brussels is the beer-hall day trip. Oude Markt's row of cafes is called the longest bar in Europe, Stella Artois is brewed in town and the city's medieval colleges run through the centre.

Mechelen ★ 4.3

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.
