My favourite food tour of Brussels is also the best and most popular tour which is the Hungry Mary’s Famous Beer and Chocolate Tour in Brussels which has over 1200 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ reviews!

Ranked as #1 among all the Brussels food tours Hungry Mary also claims itself to be ‘The Best Beer Tour’ in the whole world. That’s a pretty tall claim but I would say, the team totally lives up to it! 

When booking a tour, no matter what tour it is, I think it’s best to go with the tried and tested option.

No one wants to book a tour with no reviews, right?

And Hungry Mary’s Famous Beer and Chocolate Tour in Brussels has definitely passed the test of thousands of travellers before you, with over 1000 positive reviews.

You get to try 12 different chocolate samplings, which sounds like a lot, but trust me, you’ll wish you could eat chocolate all day. I tried a lot of different chocolates during my time in Brussels, but nothing came close to the samples on this tour. They’re delicious!

The tour is well-tailored for beer lovers too. Your guide will take you to the best pubs in Brussels where you get to enjoy a minimum of six beer tastings which include beer brands such as Lambics, Triple Blonds, Belgian IPAs, Abbey beers and more- the best Brussels has to offer!

Also included are a variety of Belgian dishes prepared from a variety of cured meats. Belgium is famous for its cuisine, and after this tour, you will completely understand why.

And don’t worry, the tour accommodates vegetarians and vegans too. Vegetarians can opt for this tour and binge on the very tasty freshly made Belgian cheese and the very famous Belgian fries too.

Just make sure to let your guide know about your dietary specifications in advance.

The tour lasts for 4-5 hours and by the end, you will have tasted 20 mouth-wateringly good Belgian specialities.

Hungry Mary’s Famous Beer and Chocolate Tour in Brussels is for people who wish to savour all of the different tastes which Brussels has to offer and learn more about each of them along the way.

2. Brussels Chocolate Beer Waffle and Belgian Whiskey All-in-One (Small Group) Tour

⭐RATING: 5 out of 5 Stars (440+ reviews) | ⌛ TOUR LENGTH: 5.5 hours |
🧇 TASTINGS: 12 chocolate, 6 beers and more | 🇧🇪 BOOK NOW

Another of the best Brussels food tours is the Brussels Chocolate Beer Waffle and Belgian Whiskey All-in-One (Small Group) Tour which also has an impressive 5-star rating after over 400 reviews!

This tour is for you serious binge eaters out there. Yes, I’m speaking to you. How do endless samplings of some iconic Belgian delicacies sound to you?

If you ask me, it will make this experience the highlight of your trip to Brussels and beyond.

Brussels Chocolate Beer Waffle and Belgian Whiskey All-in-One (Small Group) Tour includes twelve chocolate samples and six generous beer samples too, including the extremely exclusive Westvleteren XII. 

If beer isn’t your thing, then fear not, as you can taste some authentic Belgian whisky. Trust me, you’ll want to make sure you eat the free samples before having some whisky ;).

What I love most about this tour is that they are pros at tailoring the experience to meet the needs and interests of the tour participants. While a completely customised itinerary won’t happen, they might add an extra stop or two if it is relevant to questions asked by the group.

And if that’s not enough, at the end of your food tour, you’ll be given a Belgian waffle topped with chocolate and fruit. Personally, waffles are one of my favourite reasons to visit Brussels!

By the way, for most of these tours, if you wish to buy some chocolates, you get 10% off at selected chocolatiers as part of the group tour.  

Note that Brussels Chocolate Beer Waffle and Belgian Whiskey All-in-One (Small Group) Tour is one of the longest Brussels food tours as it lasts over spanning over 5 hours.

But as the saying goes, time flies when you’re having fun.

And if you’re not having fun enjoying some tasty Belgian treats…what are you doing??!!

Though I don’t think it’s possible to book the Brussels Chocolate Beer Waffle and Belgian Whiskey All-in-One (Small Group) Tour and not have fun- it’s an amazing tour.

3. Brussels Walking and Tasting Tour

⭐RATING: 5 out of 5 Stars (520+ reviews) | ⌛ TOUR LENGTH: 2-3 hours |

For a shorter tour, take the Brussels Walking and Tasting Tour which combines learning about Brussels while enjoying the cuisine. Again, it’s very highly rated with over 500 overwhelmingly positive reviews!

With hundreds of different tour options for food tours in Brussels, it can be hard to pick the right one for you. Even after I’ve put together a list of the best ones.

But if a tour is a Tripadvisor Experience 2023 Winner and has countless glowing 5-star reviews, you know you can’t miss out on this incredible food tour.

Brussels Walking and Tasting Tour is for everyone: the foodie, the tourist and even the native Belgian.

This tour is all about appreciating the local food, art, culture and architecture of Brussels. You get a feel of present-day Brussels as well as getting to know how it was back in the medieval days. All of this while sampling some tasty food.

The tour’s route covers some major landmarks situated in the historic district of Brussels. You visit the Grand Place, Mont des Arts, and get to see the beloved statue of Manneken Pis, which is a major symbol for the Brussels residents.

Those who have chosen for this tour, vouch for it. And after taking the tour, you will too.

4. Brussels Chocolate Walking Tour and Workshop

⭐RATING: 4.5 out of 5 Stars (700+ reviews) | ⌛ TOUR LENGTH: 3.5 hours |
🧇 TASTINGS: Chocolates, Pastries & make your own chocolate | 🇧🇪 BOOK NOW

If you fancy a chocolate tour which goes above and beyond, ending with a chocolate workshop where you get to create your very own delicious Belgian chocolate, you’ll be interested in learning a bit more about the Brussels Chocolate Walking Tour and Workshop.

Brussels Chocolate Walking Tour and Workshop gets a big thumbs up from me for its overall format- who doesn’t want to learn about chocolate, taste chocolate and then get to make your own chocolate?!

During your time in the workshop, you shall be taught how to make lots of different varieties of chocolates and pralines. The best bit? You get to take the chocolate home with you too! That was definitely my favourite perk haha.

In terms of the walking aspect of the tour, the guides know the city inside out and as a result, lead you to the best chocolatiers in the city. This tour is known to visit some hidden spots within Brussels’ historic district too.

The tour is in English and lasts for about 3 hours and 30 minutes. In my opinion, it’s one of the best choices if you are a family with kids. Kids love getting hands-on, and they love chocolate, so why not combine the two?

By the end of the tour, your whole family will have had a ton of fun, especially when you get to learn about the secret recipe of the rich Belgian chocolates that you learn about.

To quote the above review, it will be one of your favourite experiences in all of Belgium, and you will get to taste the best chocolate in the world.

If this sounds good to you, then book the Brussels Chocolate Walking Tour and Workshop as spaces are limited due to the workshop section.

It takes the term “chocolate expert” to a literal definition. No one knows chocolate better than her!
