Food from my hometown: Antwerp

My favorite croque is Croque Hawaii. Croque originated in France and is a common snack in Belgian restaurants and tea rooms. It comes in many variations and the one I had Croque Hawaii is a toasted sandwich with ham, cheese and a slice of pineapple. Salad is usually served as a side. Croque is tasty and quick to make at home - Restaurant Big Apple, Antwerp

Delicious home-made lasagna - Restaurant Big Apple, Antwerp

Fancy a tray of Nachos with lots of Jalapeno pepper and melted cheese at the movies? UGC Cinema, Antwerp
