Food is more than just sustenance; it’s an expression of togetherness and joy. Likewise, Belgium is not just a country—it’s a feeling of home wrapped in tradition and love. Belgian food brings a feeling of warmth that goes beyond the plate. Every dish tells a story, and every gathering creates a memory, especially during the festive season. The best time to enjoy Belgian cuisine starts in November, when the festivities begin.
And you know what could be the best thing to do during these festive seasons? Yes, you’re almost there! It’s having the best Belgian food and enjoying drinks and desserts. Then Taste of Belgium is the answer!
In this blog, we’ll explore the festive flavors of Belgian holiday traditions and how Taste of Belgium brings them to your table.
Belgian Holiday Breakfasts: Waffles, Pastries & More
The festive mornings in Belgium often begin with a table full of comforting favorites, setting a joyful tone for the day ahead. At Taste of Belgium, our brunch favorites are perfect for holiday celebrations. Whether you’re serving a group of five or fifteen, Belgian cuisine knows how to make everyone feel at home.
Our original Liège Waffle is rich, buttery, and just the right amount of sweet. It’s the perfect way to kick off a festive day. If you’re looking for a little extra cheer, our Waffle & Fruit offers a refreshing, colorful start, and the S’more Waffle brings all the warm, cozy flavors of winter in every bite.
Our Chicken & Waffles is always a crowd pleaser, combining crispy fried chicken with the sweet crunch of Liège Waffles. Of course, no brunch is complete without a side of golden Belgian Frites, a perfect holiday staple with crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
Belgian breakfasts are never rushed. They often include flaky pastries, freshly baked breads, and plenty of coffee. It’s not just about filling up — it’s about savoring the time together, something we truly believe in at Taste of Belgium.
Festive Belgian Brunches and Family Gatherings
In Belgium, brunch isn’t just a meal — it’s a tradition, especially during the holidays. Big family gatherings often spill into the afternoon, and brunch becomes a joyful, laid-back affair. At Taste of Belgium, we honor this proudly with our Liège Waffle, which captures the authentic spirit of a Belgian holiday breakfast.
Our Not-a-burrito, packed with housemade chorizo, scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, and flavorful spices, is perfect with a savory twist for holidays. For guests who want a little bit of everything, the McWaffle is a classic holiday treat that combines eggs, bacon, and Ohio Maple syrup inside our renowned Liège waffle!
If you’re planning a bigger spread, dishes like our hearty omelettes and Quiche Lorraine are wonderful crowd-pleasers. And for family-style sharing, you can’t go wrong with a fresh Fruit Plate or a tray of our Classic Breakfast Sandwiches. Taste of Belgium doesn’t stop with just these. Check out our menu.
Beyond waffles, Belgian breakfasts during the holidays are often filled with fresh pastries, buttery croissants, and warm breads, creating a spread that invites lingering conversations and second helpings.
Traditional Belgian Holiday Dinners: Hearty Comforts
When it’s time for a holiday dinner, Belgians bring out the rich, comforting dishes we all dream about this time of year. We do the same at Taste of Belgium, and our winter menu is full of dishes that feel like a warm hug after a chilly day. Plan a Belgian-themed dinner party.
One of our favorites is the Carbonnades Poutine — a hearty blend of frites topped with tender beef stew and melty cheese curds. Our Steak & Frites is another classic you’ll find on many Belgian tables during the holidays, served perfectly cooked with a side of crispy, golden fries.
We also make sure that everyone has something delicious to enjoy. For our vegetarian guests, options like the Garden Salad, Harvest Salad, and Buddha Bowl are fresh, colorful, and full of seasonal flavors.
Sweet Endings: Belgian Holiday Desserts
No matter how full you feel after a Belgian holiday meal, there’s always room for dessert — it’s practically a rule! Sweet treats are a huge part of Belgian holiday traditions, from pastries and chocolate to beautiful fruit-topped waffles.
At Taste of Belgium, we love turning our Liège waffles into decadent desserts. Top them with berries, cream, or chocolate sauce, and you’ve got a festive finale that everyone will rave about. Our Toasted S’more Waffle, with its gooey marshmallow, rich chocolate, and crispy graham cracker bites, is especially popular during winter gatherings.
Sharing desserts is part of the fun — passing plates around the table, sneaking a second bite, laughing over a hot coffee or cocoa. It’s these little moments that make the holidays feel magical. Trust us — that second (or third) helping is totally worth it.
Toasting the Season: Belgian Drinks for the Holidays
What’s a holiday celebration without a festive drink in hand? In Belgium, and here at Taste of Belgium, raising a glass together is a key part of the festivities.
We offer a full lineup of festive drinks to help you celebrate. Try the refreshing Belgian Mule or the herby Basil Smash from our drink menu. For something a little more indulgent, the Espresso Martini or a sparkling Bellini is just the thing. And if you can’t decide, our Mimosa Flight lets you sample a few different flavors!
Of course, we also have great options for guests who prefer non-alcoholic drinks. Our Wildest Dreams and Beach Vibes mocktails are full of bright, fresh flavors. And nothing beats a mug of hot chocolate or a strong Belgian coffee on a cold day.
And let’s not forget — Belgian beers are legendary for a reason. Nothing brings people together quite like clinking glasses over great Belgian cuisine and cold beer. Here’s a look at how seriously Belgium takes its beer.
