2 February
La Chandeleur
In early February, Belgian homes gather around thin golden crêpes and a cup of coffee.
How we draw on it in Jeddah: We echo that warmth at our morning table.
Belgium at DREAM
From the heart of the Belgian season
Belgian customs around coffee and sweets through the year. A cultural view, not a menu.
Spring
Spring chocolate eggs
In spring, Belgian chocolatiers’ windows fill with moulded, hand-decorated chocolate eggs.
How we draw on it in Jeddah: We take from it the care of moulding and shine.
Summer
The kermesse
At summer kermesses you find croustillons: golden fried dough balls dusted with icing sugar.
How we draw on it in Jeddah: That spirit of sharing meets Jeddah’s hospitality.
6 December
Saint Nicholas
On 6 December, Belgian children look forward to speculoos, chocolate and tangerines.
How we draw on it in Jeddah: Hence the place of speculoos on our menu.
