The ultimate guide to Christmas food

Dear gourmet friends,

Christmas is the season when our taste buds are awakened to sweet and savoury pleasures, when every mouthful is an invitation to indulge and when Christmas meals with family and friends become real celebrations. 

Whether you're a true epicurean or a lover of good things, this non-exhaustive guide to the must-haves on our Christmas tables is made for you.

1. Savoury delights: 

• The traditional foie gras and its accompaniments (confits, gingerbread…) to be found, for example, at Comtesse Saveurs or Epicery & Co.
• Seafood from Brasserie Guillaume
• A selection of Italian charcuterie from Galli Galli 
• A platter of mature cheeses from some of the world's finest cheesemakers at Kaempff-Kohler
• And plenty of other tasty ideas for your festive menu to discover at l'Epicerie

2. Let's talk sweets: 

• Don't forget the boxemännchen for Saint-Nicolas, to be found at Fischer
• Bite into Christmas biscuits (Stollen or gingerbread) from Oberweis.
• The traditional bûche from Namur or an ice-cream version from Bargello
• And last but not least, chocolates and pralines from Passion Chocolat or Jeff de Bruges as gifts or to keep for yourself.

And to accompany your menu, head over to Vinoteca, where they'll guide you through the perfect food and wine pairing.
