Bites & Walks<br />

Belgium | The Award for Excellence in Culinary Experiences<br />

Antwerp is a city with a deep history, rich culture, and a proud culinary<br />

heritage. Often times the city can be overlooked for more known<br />

neighbours Brussels or Bruges. However, should you decide to traverse the<br />

city with Bites & Walks, it’s fair to say you’ll discover a glorious foodie<br />

capital.<br />

Starting life as a friendly food blog, Bites & Walks has grown to<br />

become one of Antwerp’s most exciting tour companies. Nina<br />

Laviana Martinez, the founder of Bites & Walks, has combined<br />

her passion for food with the love of her hometown to<br />

create an immersive experience for tourists and locals<br />

alike. Growing up with Spanish grandparents and as<br />

the daughter of a baker, food was always a central<br />

part of Nina’s life.<br />

The tours are ultimately built around Nina’s<br />

own experiences and knowledge of the<br />

city. There are two unique food tours to<br />

choose from.<br />

The first is a Historical Food Tour that takes<br />

you to the best neighbourhood spots to<br />

sample food. You’ll walk the quaint streets<br />

of the city, hear remarkable stories, learn<br />

about the Antwerp’s gastronomic heritage,<br />

experience life like a local, and pick up some<br />

great tips for the rest of your stay. The food<br />

is all locally sourced and handmade thus<br />

guaranteeing a truly authentic experience.<br />

The other option is a vegan food tour. Not to<br />

be stuck in the past, Antwerp is continually<br />

evolving as a city and now has a thriving<br />

vegan food scene. You can try out several<br />

vegan products, pick up tips, and discover<br />

vegan hotspots. Even if you aren’t vegan<br />

this tour is a truly delightful experience.<br />
