Moules-frites / Mosselen-friet: mussels cooked or steamed with onions and celery served with fries. The recipe has often been referred to as the country's national dish[3] but is also popular in the
neighboring Nord region of France.
Carbonade flamande / Stoverij: a Belgian beef stew, similar to the French Beef Bourguignon, but made with beer instead of red wine. Served with bread or fries and mustard. Usually accompanied by a
beer. This is also considered one of the national dishes, along with moules-frites.
Waterzooi: a rich stew and soup of chicken or fish, vegetables, cream and eggs, usually associated with the town of Ghent.

Kip met frieten en appelmoes / Poulet-frites-compote (chicken, fries and apple sauce).
Konijn in geuze / Lapin à la gueuze: rabbit in gueuze, which is a spontaneously fermented beer from the area around Brussels.
Filet américain: Very finely minced ground beef eaten raw and cold. It is spread on a sandwich or bread with and sometimes topped with a sauce, usually with Sauce américaine, and served with fries.
When served as a dinner, it is mixed with onions and capers like steak tartare, but it retains the name américain.

wine.
