While foodies flock to Paris and London, those in the know are sneaking off to the Benelux. Did you know that Belgium has a total of 139 stars at the Michelin Guide 2019, which makes the country one of the most Michelin-starred tables in the world?

Belgium is still too much identified with waffles, chocolate, fries & beer. But Flanders Kitchen Rebels, a collective of young creative chefs, & Generation W, the guardians of Wallonia’s gastronomy, will prove you there is so much more to discover! In the Netherlands too, a new generation of talented chefs recently opened their restaurants working with the best ingredients within their region, from their own local producers and farmers. Tempted?
