They’re beloved in Belgium, but TasteAtlas ranks them among the worst: here are 24 Belgian specialties in the crosshairs!

Eel in green sauce currently holds the lowest score on the TasteAtlas ranking, with 2.8/5. This Flemish specialty consists of eel served with a green sauce generously flavored with herbs, including parsley, spinach, mint, tarragon, and dill. It’s a dish traditionally served hot, with bread or fries.

The famous Dinant couque comes in second place with a score of 2.9/5. This sweet specialty isn’t really like your typical cookie: made simply from wheat flour and honey, it has a reputation for being extremely hard. So it’s best to break it into pieces and let it melt in your mouth rather than trying to bite into it whole!

Cougnou, a brioche traditionally associated with the holiday season, scores 3.1 out of 5. Native to Hainaut, this brioche can be made with raisins, chocolate chips, or pearl sugar and is recognizable by its shape, which resembles a swaddled baby. In Belgium, it’s often enjoyed with a cup of hot chocolate during the Christmas season.

This small tart, originally from Lier in the province of Antwerp, also scores 3.1/5. The Liers vlaaike consists of a thin crust filled with a creamy mixture made from breadcrumbs, syrup, milk, and flour, flavored with spices such as cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Its recipe is said to be over 300 years old.

In fifth place is a relatively unknown specialty from Liège: cûtès peûres di Lidge, or cooked pears from Liège, rated 3.2/5. The pears are slowly cooked in a sweet syrup flavored with cinnamon, made specifically with Liège syrup. They can be enjoyed hot or cold, perhaps accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

A staple at Belgian fry shops, the frikandel scores 3.3/5. This skinless sausage, fried and then served with various sauces, is also very popular in the Netherlands—so much so that its exact origin remains a subject of debate. In Belgium, it’s commonly found in the “frikandel speciaal” version, topped with mayonnaise, curry ketchup, and onions.

Another must-try at Belgian fry shops: the Bicky Burger, also rated 3.3/5. This burger consists of a fried steak patty, pickles, fried onions, and various sauces, all served in a sesame seed bun. Despite its status as a true institution of Belgian fast food, it doesn’t seem to have fully won over TasteAtlas users.

Originating in Charleroi, the “vitoulet” is a meatball made primarily with pork or veal, bread, milk, eggs, shallots, and parsley. It’s usually browned in butter before being served with potatoes or a salad. Not to be confused with the “boulet à la liégeoise,” which is larger and served with a sauce.

Kramiek, or cramique in French, is a brioche-style bread generously studded with raisins. Soft and slightly sweet, it’s traditionally enjoyed for breakfast or as an afternoon snack, simply with butter or jam. Yet it scores only 3.3/5 in the TasteAtlas ranking.

This Flemish leek soup scores 3.4/5. It typically combines leeks and potatoes in a broth, sometimes enriched with beef bones to make it a particularly hearty dish. A comforting classic of Belgian cuisine that has also made its way onto this list.
