There’s nothing like a good meal for a convivial family moment. But what about concocting something together in a culinary workshop? It’s an original plan for Father’s Day! Not only will you learn how to make something while having fun, but you’ll also enjoy a delicious meal! Several locations in Brussels offer such workshops. You can do it as a couple, or with the kids! What’s more, you can choose from all kinds of culinary specialties. For example, pastries, Korean specialties or homemade ravioli! Take a look at La cuisine de Flore, where professional chefs will show you all their secrets, or Sasasa, which offers a wide variety of international choices. Get cooking!
