About

“Glorious Food and Wine is an excellent foodie blog run by three 2 Brussels locals. Click on the restaurant tab for a page linking to all of their restaurant reviews, including a handy ‘top 5′ (read the rest)“

Living in Brussels for 10 11 12 years, I got to discover both its good and bad sides. Moving on from college parties, then cocktail parties and finger food (it was all about SATC) to proper dinner entertaining, I saw myself evolve in the kitchen without ignoring the one or the other kitchen disaster! We are dedicated gourmets, and here we share and write about our love of food and wine, as well as everything in between.

Read our stories in and about foodie life in Brussels. Consider this blog as your personal gourmet’s guide to Brussels. We is myself, Andreea, and my other half (and enthusiastic cook) Mark. Just the two of us, cooking up a storm. And spending way too much on going out.

We are by no means trained chefs, trained photographers, aspiring perhaps, but living the real life for now. Don’t be shy to comment (in English, French, Dutch, German … they don’t call us Eurocrats for nothing!). We really appreciate it when ‘you’ take the time to pass by, read Glorious Food and Wine. And of course, we love comments and feedback on our blogging life. We also do our best to reply to e-mails, questions, comments as soon as time permits, which usually is soon’ish. Promise!

Sometimes we get asked if we accept products (be it food and/ or cook books) for reviewing. By all means, yes we do. However we also reserve the right to point out to our readers that we are reviewing a received product. We reserve the right to post both positive and negative reviews. And we also reserve the right to not post a review.

What else would there be to say? We absolutely love to go out and Belgium is perhaps one of the countries with the highest number of restaurants per person so we have a lot of catching up, eating and sharing to do. Let us know your own restaurant experiences. Perhaps you have your own favorite restaurant? A suggestion? Another which we should avoid? Always fun to share.

And as always, there’s more to come. Right. Almost forgot. Yes, there is also the Belgian Beer …

We love what we do on this blog, and hope you will too. Drop by every now and then to check out our foodie experiences. And share yours. Alternatively, do not hesitate to get in touch directly andreeainbxl [at] hotmail [dot] com

    Hello,

    Question about your Blog

    I am writing in the hopes of opening up a communication channel with your blog (if you are interested).
    We are a blog and website that is frequently writing about topics that are beer and spirits related (usually from a label perspective).

    We are always looking for interesting content/posts to mention and link to on our blog and website. As such, if you post something you feel is very unique/interesting on your blog, please let me know via return email.
    We are happy to give it a mention on our blog and send a link to it your way.

    We are serious about quality content and I think that our content generation is creative and high quality (ie. we don’t blogspam).
    Here is a link to something that we did recently that has generated a lot of interested:
    http://etiquettesystems.com/beer_labels.html

    I look forward to hearing from you.

    Regards,

    Dear Glorious,

    I love your site! However, I don’t see much in it about wine. I’ve been in the wine business in the U.S. for over thirty years, and have published columns on wine and food for over twenty.

    I’ve recently started my own blog — http://www.randycaparoso.blogspot.com — but seem to have no luck attracting readers other than my own relatives. Would you be interested in including my stories on wine and food on Glorious Food and Wine?

    Please let me know.

    Thanks!

    May I propose the following food blog from French-Canada http://banlieusardises.com/
    It used to be my reference but now that I found you I might spend more time here…

    Anyways, I think it should be worth adding to your blog list…
