One of the most striking benefits of living in a cosmopolitan city like Brussels (let's remember that more than 180 nationalities cross paths every day in the city's corridors!) is that, regardless of your gastronomic inclinations, you will always find a top-notch chef in the city ready to cook up the dish that suddenly tickles your fancy, no matter its geographical origin.

Allow us to sift through your next gastro-exotic destination.
Let's say, considering the time of year, we find ourselves at a crossroads—summer vacations still lingering in our minds, winter rapidly approaching, and next week's weather forecast signaling another step towards our rendezvous with snow.
How about dining in the sun instead?
So, let's start this Wednesday, embarking on a gastronomic and sun-drenched escapade each day—4 destinations, 4 dishes that will comfort you, keeping you snug in total comfort at an excellent restaurant.
Have you thought about it? When we start talking about dishes that warm the body, traditional and oh-so-flavorful... this Wednesday evening, you're heading southeast of Agadir, to the Souss region, where the iconic Moroccan dish, the Tajine, was invented!
It's very easy to close your eyes and imagine the landscapes of the Moroccan Atlas; the Tajine is one of those dishes that is so gentle and flavorful.
For this first dinner, we propose, according to your choice because they are all truly excellent:

TAJINE, MOROCCO

On Wednesday, we'll be in the Kingdom of Morocco; on Thursday, we're off to Italy to savor THE most comforting and delicious recipe in the world—the Lasagna!
The king of the Two Sicilies, Francis II, was nicknamed the Lasagna King due to his passion for this dish. It seems like many deserve this title, given the immense enthusiasm for this truly homely dish, perfect for a winter evening!

LASAGNA, ITALY

Friday night, spice and sombreros, cactus and tequila—a culinary escapade whisks us away to Mexico. In just a few spins of the wheels, barely enough time to watch the rain fall from the comfort of a taxi, settle into a genuine Mexican restaurant and savor one of their traditional dishes, the Chili con Carne! You must have a penchant for spicy dishes; the red beans are there to temper the fiery sensations. A dish that I absolutely love!

CHILI CON CARNE, MEXICO

The final dinner of this sun-drenched gastronomic escapade in Brussels, with three dishes already spotlighted to warm our winter evenings, concludes in France, specifically in Savoie.
I'll grant you that Savoie may not be a "sun destination," but when it comes to dishes that warm the body, it's the perfect destination... You've guessed it – we're talking about Savoyard fondue, an essential recipe for the snowy season. Follow the guide!

FONDUE SAVOYARDE, FRANCE
