Maintains all memories of a few memorable scenes of meals, food and feast in the great works of the seventh art.

The kitchen is also a vector of Exchange and also allows to gather around a table, sharing a true moment of conviviality. It is the result of several meetings and allows to remember stories that we met. The gastronomy is therefore a fabulous - the best - the Ambassador of culture, of a nation.As Minister of tourism, I am pleased that this initiative is it carried out in Brussels and, therefore, it should be in a straight line in my desire to make Brussels the second capital of the 500 million citizens of our continent. It is therefore appropriate that each visitor can find in our city of the elements of their cultural identity, but also of other cultures.Brussels is composed by numerous communities of European and extra European. This diversity is a richness that we derive most benefit.We feed the desire to combine the two images that Brussels intends to project outward: a capital of Europe (and its 500 million Europeans) and the other one is an gastronomic identity multiple city and assertive.Brussels should be a place where it is possible to discover the extraordinary cultural and gastronomic richness of our continent. It should be the place of exchanges and discoveries of other cultures while defending its specificity and its identity.The best way to discover the other, his neighbor and 'a little' escape is probably to share a good movie and a good meal ! Very good meeting, good appetite! And good flavors for these 4 days gastro-cultural discoveries. Your eyes and your taste buds will wake up.All the practical information on www.amourfood.be
