This summer I experienced my first time in Belgium. I am not a newcomer, however, to Belgian chocolate. Our first evening there after arriving we took a walk, first to see the “peeing girl” (peeing boy will come later) and then to the Grand Place. Lots of restaurants, bars, and chocolate shops, and their doors, on the way!
Belgian beers are primarily ales with a heavy emphasis on malts and a lot of fruity yeast flavors.
Belgian chocolate is famous for its high cocoa content. It is a favorite of dark-chocolate lovers, such as myself.
Thursday Doors is a weekly feature allowing door lovers to come together to admire and share their favorite door photos from around the world. Feel free to join in on the fun by creating your own Thursday Doors post and then sharing it, between Thursday morning and Saturday noon (North American Eastern Time), on the linky list at Norm 2.0’s blog.

Never been to Belgium, other than flying over it. Only had Belgian chocolate once and it was probably when I was flying over the country. I love dark chocolate.

Me too! Milk chocolate I can take or leave, but dark is awesome!

I know, right! I don’t love beer in general, but I did enjoy some in Belgium, and the chocolate . . .

Yum! Chocolate is worth traveling for all on it’s own. 🙂 Did you share a pic of the peeing girl or did I just miss it? Not that I am all that keen to see it, but it has my curiosity up now!

Not a fan of ales because I like both dark beer and dark chocolate. 🙂 The second half of your title would be for me. Good finds. I didn’t realize there was a peeing girl. I just remember thinking how weird the Manneken Pis was such a big deal. 🙂

The peeing girl is relatively new. She’s only been there since 1985. The peeing boy is much older. But I agree with you—both are kind of weird!

That arched doorway pic is postcard worthy 🙂 Lucky you on the chocolate!

That one’s actually from Germany but it’s nice for the theme. Thanks!

Nice shots. I’ll take the chocolate more than the beer but I’ll happily try both if I ever get to Belgium 🙂

I’m glad the title is beer AND chocolate, because I couldn’t decide if you had used ‘or’ for those two. I do think the bar doors are nicer, but they’re all good.

Great photos! I hope you had time to eat all the chocolate and all the fries 🙂
