Belgian restaurants are built around a handful of national staples: mussels cooked in white wine or beer and served with fries, hearty stews like carbonnade flamande, and a beer list that's often as considered as the food menu. Mussels give the cuisine a genuine, everyday seafood angle rather than a novelty one.
Expect a pot of mussels as the centrepiece dish, thick-cut fries, rich stews, and a menu built to pair with Belgian beer rather than wine. Mussels are close to the signature dish of Belgian cooking, so seafood is central rather than incidental here even with only a small number of listings in our directory.

Almost always. Moules-frites, mussels with fries, is the dish most closely associated with Belgian cooking and appears on nearly every Belgian menu, often in several sauce variations.
There's overlap in technique and some shared dishes, but Belgian cooking has its own identity built around mussels, fries, waffles, and a beer-led drinks list rather than a wine-led one.
