- Belgian Beer Adventure in Brussels, Belgium 🇧🇪
Renowned for some of the world's greatest beers we set out to experience the Belgian beer culture and it's foods.
We start off with the Frites or Belgian Fries, coupled with a RAW meat sandwich... and a Beer!
Later in the day we sample a meter long assortment of beers... and a Beer!!
Another great Belgian delicacy are Mussels and we look for the best Mussel Restaurant in Brussels... and a Beer!!!
And to end the day we stumble upon the most unusual and erotic Belgian waffles ever... and a Beer!!!!
If you enjoy adventure videos from the former Soviet Union and Central & Eastern Europe, then grab your vodka, some zakusky and join me as we spend the day in the Capital of Europe, in search of Great food and Great Beer.

hi Justin, an interesting walk around Brussels. I admire each person's individual approach and responding in all languages, respect my friend.
Hello my friend... I'm so glad you enjoyed my video! Thanks for watching 👍👌
Thanks for video. For me belgium is famous for hosting many of the deadly europe battles like waterloo..
Indeed you are right!!!
Funny story, I was once at waterloo station having a coffee, speaking to a random person (as I always do) and they honesty did not know that the station was named after a place in Belgium where the battel happened.
Thank you Tom for sharing some good history
Brussels it's thé best City for food ! I love belgium. It's m'y best country in Europe !
I agree… Brussels has amazing food and it’s a great experience! Thanks for watching👍👌
Encore une super vidéo. Merci! Tu parles français sans aucun accent, c'est dingue. Et quand tu parles en anglais je comprends. C'est fou!!
Salut Daniel et merci pour le compliment.
Honnêtement ça fait si longtemps que je voyage dans la région, que j'ai adapté mon accent anglais pour que les gens me comprennent plus facilement.
C'est pour cela que je reçois beaucoup de messages disant que je ne suis pas anglais.
Very interesting coverage !
Everything always looks so delicious in your vids mate...generating an extra appetite 😆 Have learned to better watch your videos while having my food.
Great watch as always 👍
Thank you Edgars for the great comment!
Next time send me a picture of your plate and the tv😂
Excellent.Real pro .All the best my Friend.
Thanks for watching my friend! 👍👌
It's always nice to see you interacting with people in their own language. The mussels they serve in Brussels are generally from Zeeland, from the Schelde, so it are Dutch mussels 😀
It's still prepared in a typical Belgian way, so they are Belgian mussels ;)
Hi Arjen,
Nice to see a message from you as always.
In holland I usually for the croquettes... but I will try the Holland Mussels next time for sure👍👌
I hope you are keeping well my friend and where are you currently travelling?
@@J.E.E Haha, kroket, yes, the Dutch fast food. For tourists who come in the summer, I recommend always the "Hollandse nieuwe maatjes" which you hold by their tail. I am currently with my car in Poland, great weather. When do we see you on the road with your Lada?
Welcome in my country Justin!
Hope you visit Flanders as well.
Greetings from a big fan of your work!
Thanks so much for the support and kind words my friend... I'm so glad you are enjoying my channel! 👍👌
0:38 Besame Mucho, but played in very unorthodox way ;)
1:55 Old Polish song "Drink brother drink" but music could be originated from somewhere else.
2:49 "The Danube Waves".
Street music is even better than street food ;)
I always try to use local guys playing street music in my videos. You cannot get more authentic that what you hear in the city when you are walking around it.
Thanks for watching my friend
I think you went lost, the mussels are less thanb100m from where you took the mojito😂
I also advise you the beer from pouchenelekelder in front of manneken pis and the frites of patatak next to bourse, the best in brussels, with nice terrasse and brussels beer on tap. Also enter the bourse it's wonderfull inside.
And then the tipical caricoles from a mobile stand, easy to find on the foire du midi.
thanks justin great video! today is my b.day hope to fly soon again to europe. the prices this times of the flight not so good but hope to fly in the winter have a nice day
Hi Shay and happy birthday to you... Until 120.👍👌😉🍺
Looking forward to your next trip over... Let's meet for sure.
Thank as always for you support my friend👌👍
@@J.E.E yes can't wait hope soon
Thanks Dear Justin
Thanks Justin for Brussels. Haven't seen so much when having been there myself
Привет Марина и спасибо за коментар.
Мне интересно... Вы откуда если не секрет?!?
@@J.E.E не секрет. Балхаш - Москва - Бангалор - Сидней (AU)
Well, my keyboard-fingers sync is slow today so hopefully I am second. Let's watch now :)
Too slow mate!
@@davidmalka1693 I know. I admit. :)
@@TWOLOVELYPEOPLETRAVEL 😂
Hello mate!
I hope you are all well!
Thanks for the support
For sure only way to travel and eat is buy local and enjoy what they recommend unless you know exactly what you want. Bravo! Nice video
Spoken like a true seasoned traveler.
Thanks mate👌👍
If you are on the grand palace square, the hotel de ville is on your left you walk down the street and you literarily walk into "a la becasse" where you can get test samples or you know a 75 cl jug of any of the belgian beers you can possibly want. great if you are with friends. plus not that expensive. Locals usually go there to drink a pint. Brings me back to when i had a chance encounter with some american military guys ( now my closest friends). In horrible french they asked for directions so i said " you can ask in english" and after a bit of talking ( and the fact that the royal library was closed i had to do some research there) I led them around brussels ( history tour, food, and of course beer). One of them got so drunk we had to have him sober up at my apartment. "i can hold my booze" hehe good times.
Yeah the brouckiere metro station is a big hub, its kind of like st pancreas but smaller but with the same dodgy people walking around. 100% agree, buy locally from small shops be it a mom and pop run beerhall, a pancake place, a regular shop and what have you. One suggestion: look up Steamboat. that is basically a baguette ( big one) with 3 large meat crockets stuffed in them along with belgian fries all the toppings you want and with whatever sauce you want ( mayo, bearnaise, pickles, and so on.). Make sure you have a great appetite though.
Address cafe restaurant a la becasse: Rue de Tabora 11, 1000 Brussels
Address where you can get a steamboat ( its litterarly 500 meters from a la becasse): it is called: Manneken Frites: Rue du Midi 30, 1000 Bruxelles. have great selection of different belgian dishes ( i love the frit special.. its with carbonade and a sweet n sour sauce with schredded unions)
It looks so nice there. I have never been there myself, but my husband just returned from a weekend in Belgium. Brought us some delicious chocolate.
My husband also got warned there by locals to park very carefully as it’s very common to get your car smashed and robbed if they see a foreign number plate. He met a friendly shop owner who let him and his friends park their car in front of his shop so he can keep an eye on it while they explore the centre.
Hi Ines,
If you get a chance to take the train and go across the do so. It is a fantastic place for a nice fun weekend.
Food is great the vibe is nice and the city is beautiful
I don't usually drive there, and honestly once you are there, you really dont need the car.
The chocolates are amazing, my favorite are the Leonidas ones but it is hard to find bad chocolate in Belgium so any of the brands is amazing.
Thank you Ines so much for watching
@@J.E.E Thanks for the suggestion. We are planning to go in September, hopefully. Going by car gives you an opportunity to see other places as well. We would go to Dunkirk from England first and then visit Bruges as well. If Brussels is the only destination, then the train makes much more sense, of course. 🙂 P.S. I’m writing this and enjoying my last piece of Belgian chocolate. 😀 It’s so good.
@@ines_uk that is so nice... Which brand was it?
Car is always more comfortable, but such a small country with a great train network... And now tickets are buy one get one free for adults.
Just giving info I have.
Enjoy Brussels and send me a photo from there.
@@J.E.E I’ll check the train tickets as well. Might be a good deal.
The chocolate I had was Cachet. Various types of dark chocolate. But I had also some hand made dark chocolate and it was also delicious.
I am Belgian, it s 6AM, I am hungry watching you eating fries, beer and americain
Thanks for watching my friend! 👍👌
LOLOLOL ...."Brazilian" - that shit cracked me up! Great vid!
😂Glad you enjoyed mate! Thanks for watching 👍👌
Thanks Justin, love Belgium, a beer tickers paradise ! Keep them coming mate
Thanks so much for watching Paul! 👍👌

Merci mon ami👌👍
It would take a lot of beer to listen to that music any longer
bro you know all the languages? 🤣just found your channel, great video!
Shumensko Pivo 👻 I'm a Bulgarian living in China. Drinking Belgian beer here too! Going to Belgium this summer 😎
Fantastic little city with some amazing beers I'm sure you're going to have a lot of fun👍👌
You keep finding us, bulgarians, all over the place, huh? Cheers, mate! God speed!
Kak si, dobre? :D
@@0xe849 благодаря, добре съм! Ти как си?
Hey Pavel,
I know mate, I sometimes wonder if there are any left in BG😂👍👌
@@J.E.E most capable of us are still here... serving our motherland with pride! Greetings!
@@J.E.E , we have a proverb in Bulgaria that said: Bulgaria is where there is even just one Bulgarian.
At minute 9:00 there are some Brazilians have a really great conversation behind him 😂
The potatoes ( papas, batatas)was born in América: Perú, Mexique and Southamerica but Europe adopted it. 3:58.mins isn't french fries potatoes. *That's wrong*
That's a fiat 500 bro..the y start make it from the 50's till 80 I believe.
Awesome French 👌 b.t.w
Great video merci!
Thank you mate for the clarification... cinqociento it is!!!
I like my languages and never miss a chance to practice😂
First
Thank you mate
Hey Justin, next time if you're coming back to Brussels, i'll show you the best beer's bar in town but of course no the touristics ;)
Would love to meet up for a beer if you're back in Riga soon? fellow brit. Love your channel
Hello mate,
I am back in Riga and it sounds like a great idea.
Message me on Instagram @justin_easterneurope
Next time come to Ghent in July you won't regret it.
Brussels is the second city in the world (after Dubai) with the most nationalities (180). Belgium has 400 breweries and around 1500 beers. The "Americain" is a preparation of raw beef that is eaten either in a sandwich or in a plate with belgian chips and salad. Another speciality is the tomato with grey shrimps. And don't forget the best pralines (small chocolates) in the world !
Hi Raffaelo,
Thank you my friend for the insight.
There are many wonderful things about Belgium and the food is for sure on the top of my list.
You are right about the chocolates, they are amazing.
Thank you for watching and commenting
bro, you're meeting Bulgarians everywhere , is this a coincidence haha
Tell me about it... are there any left in BG??😂
@@J.E.E not too many 😂😂
Let me know if you need any guide in this rich Belgium beer culture!
How much did you pay for that sampler of beer?
How many languages do you speak?and which?
Too many😂... keep watching to find out! 👍👌
Ahh Sante Proost, a yard of yumminess I remember drinking yards of beers at British Pubs in the US and Germany but out of yard glasses. Bass Ale or something German. I think my record was 5 yards maybe 6 or 7 I held the record in the Prince of wales pub in Atlanta Georgia in my age group. it was over 20 years ago in the 90's shit 25 or more. . All those Belgian flavors I'm not into beers with fruit flavor anymore there was a time in the early 90's i thought it was the best thing on earth. I would still drink a yard with you the same one and suffer through it and eat some raw minced meat spread on bread that is my favorite pork is better though my favorite in Germany. Yo mate, I'm thirsty going to go out and sit in the beergarden with my Expat long time Praguers. Come to Prague when this damnd heat goes away and most of the tourists. I'll take you over to some of my old stomping grounds that have changed very little since the 1970's very Soviet looking and the murals have either been ripped or fallen off the sides of those buildings. I have not been there in a while and i'm longing for a pub tour out there. My local villiage Letnoid Bar fly friends won't venture out there anymore they like it but its 30 to 40 minutes away by tram. Tell you the nam where you are here. Later Bra .....ohh I've never had a good Muschel in my life besides the smoked ones from Spain or Portugal out of a Tin. I've used them as catfish bait in the US
Hello mate,
That sound like a great plan and a great video lineup.
Lets do a pub crawl in Prague as I love Czech beers.
As for the tram ride, well dont worry, I have hopped on planes for less, so a 40 minute ride is cool.
25 years... man how time flies
P.s
I think I saw a video in italy with the same "genitalia" waffles lol
That was funny to see!!!
when are you coming over to Europe? The continent of amazing food?
Justin, with the amount you scoff, how are you not 400lbs and the size of a house?? This video made me so hungry lol.
🤣🤣🤣 I have a few tricks.... OEH (only eat half)
I always.leave about half my food on any plate I eat...
Seems to help.
A few subscribers started watchingy videos during dinner to avoid getting hungry🤣😥😥
All the best mate
Brussels is allright. I prefer Czech beer, though, as pilsner lagers are my favorite and Belgian beers always seem a bit heavy or overly hoppy to me. Belgium fries are great, especially with mayo...
Hi Steven,
I couldn't agree more, I also like lighter beers and the Mayo is hands down the best in the world👍👌
@@J.E.E then you should order season beer, between 4 and 5 ° but more hoppy and tasty.
The story of those is that in the field in the summer, when there were no fridge, they had to create a light, refreshing even if not really cold beer ( people used tu burry it next to the field) for the field workers.
Now there are many served cold, like saison dupont or saison de Bruxelles. In fact all breweries have their own saison
can you make a video about Burgas
I will mate!
pour les moules frites alors le mussel machin au marche au poissons , un truc assez récent qui a pas une bonne réputation, un truc à touristes quoi, non si vous voulez des bonnes moules à Bruxelles , c'est le Zinneke mais y'en a d'autres .
comment for scopes :)
14:40 Fiat 500 ;P
You are absolutely correct mate... The legendary cinqociento
@@J.E.E lol :D not cinq, just 500 other model :P
Beautiful video you making me hangrey jk
that is funny,,, a lot of my subscribers have told me they now watch my videos whilst having dinner, as they get hungry otherwise.😂
Fiat 500
Correct my friend
Belgium as an example of the end of civilization.
Scared of walking through the European union capital? Is it the KGB again? So much for basic human rights and freedoms! God save the queen!
Brussels has a lower crime rate than London and most cities in the UK...
Brussels is safe, but it is a little like Times Square in NY used to be... one block in the wrong direction and the contrast is vast!
@@J.E.E I still love your videos and I love you, too!
@@boriserikhman2350 Thanks you Boris for your engagement and supporting the channel
All the best my friend👍👌
Basic rule when in Belgium: always go to the Flemish cities (Antwerp, Ghent, Bruges, Leuven, Mechelen). Vastly more beautiful, cleaner and nicer than Brussels (or any other French-speaking town in Wallonia).
Walking around making people feel uncomfortable. You don't have great social manners dude.
Why you call yourself eastern Europe? East of Europe isn't considered European it doesn't belong to Europe, Slavic countries are not European, Europe starts with Austria being the first European country and then Switzerland ,Germany France Belgium the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Spain , Italy, Portugal,the United kingdom, republic of Ireland, Iceland, Finland Norway Denmark and Sweden.
That's Europe.
Wow so much effort in typing and that is the best you could come up with🤣🤣🤣
@@J.E.E i guess you're form America it's only natural for you not to know these basic geographic facts , you know what Americans are famous for around the globe,I can't type the word CZcams deletes it, but either way you need a geography teacher.
