Brussels Food Tour: From Fries to Praline, Self-Guided App Tour

Brussels starts with salt and ends with cocoa. The walk opens at the seafood counter on Rue Sainte-Catherine, where people eat shrimp croquettes and oysters standing at the window, then takes its fries double-fried at a proper fritkot. Maison Dandoy has been pressing speculoos moulds since 1829, and in the Galerie de la Reine, Neuhaus filled the first chocolate shell in 1912, in a shop that started out as a pharmacy. It finishes on the Grand Sablon with Wittamer and Marcolini. Twelve stops, about 2.2 km. How it works This is a self-guided digital walking tour in the StepQuests mobile app. There is no live guide.
