It's not a secret, Brussels is "the" place for "les plaisirs de la table"... 
Start by walking to the rue au Beurre ( butterstreet), a perfect name for a street with one the oldest biscuit shops of the city. Dandoy has his shops there since 1858, it's also there that were made until 1960 the biscuits in the back shop.
When you walk in you will directly smell the different spices used for the making of those cookies....You will find there famous Belgian biscuits such as the speculoos, the pain à la grecque, almond bread, marzipan...
An other nice experience for your senses is the Cantillon brewery it's a family owned brewery, the last handcrafted one still active in the middle of the city.

And as it's a museum you can also see the whole process of brewing. The brew Lambic, Geuze, Faro and kriek.
Personally my favourite one is the Geuze, it as a special taste as no other beer, different from what we taste usually. And the trend is now for Bio, the Geuze is also certified 100% organic...no excuses anymore you have to try it!
You could go directly to the brewery or buy it in a specialised shop of the city
