Good day!

Belgian breakfasts are quite delightful! They often feature a spread of bread, pastries like croissants or pain au chocolat, accompanied by various spreads such as jam, honey, or chocolate spread. Cheese and cold cuts might also make an appearance.

For a more local touch, you could try a "pistolet" or "couque," which are bread rolls or sweet breakfast pastries. And of course, don't miss out on the famous Belgian waffles or pancakes, served with toppings like fruits, chocolate, or whipped cream – they're a morning treat you shouldn't skip!

Enjoy your Belgian breakfasts; they're a lovely way to kickstart your day!
