Other highlights include a dish called Carbonade Flamande (meat cooked in Trappist Dubbel beer with spices), Kip Archiduc with fries (roasted chicken with fresh and flambé mushroom sauce), both for R$55.00.

A new feature will be the waffle (in Flemish wafel, in French gaufre), which consists of a dough of flour, milk, and eggs roasted on a gridded iron plate. Belgian waffles tend to be larger and softer. Generally, they are covered only with icing sugar, but these will come with special versions, starting at R$15,00.

And to go along with all this, a variety of Belgian-style handcrafted beer, such as Trappist Single, Witbier and Belgian Pale, among others.

Belgian beers are regarded as the best in the world and many brands are already internationally famous, known here as Delirium, but the prominence among Belgian beers is the famous Belgian Lambic, typical of the Lembeke region in Brussels, which is genuinely unique due to its spontaneous fermentation.
