Eating Mussels in Brussels

Did you know a staple of Brussels cuisine from July until April is mussels with fries (everything is with fries and they give you mayonnaise to eat with it). This was my introduction to Brussels food late on Thursday night.

Mussels, fries, and oberbier.

I also took a late walk just around the area where I’m staying. Brussels is so much smaller than Paris it’s remarkable how much you can cover.

A typical street in Brussels looks kind of like Paris except without the people. It’s also really clean.

So far, I’ve enjoyed Brussels. It is similar to my experience in Paris but there are no crowds and there are a lot of beer options.
