A Belgian Dinner at CDL!

This week, the girls gathered for a Belgian-themed dinner at CDL, transforming the dining hall into a little corner of Brussels.

The evening began with Belgium’s most iconic dish: moules-frites. Steaming bowls of mussels in a savory broth were paired with golden fries — crispy on the outside, fluffy inside — a combination that quickly became the highlight of the table.

Next came chicory gratin with Edam. The creamy béchamel and melted cheese softened the chicory’s natural bitterness, turning it into a comforting and surprisingly popular dish. To balance the richness, the cooks served braised Swiss chard, tender and earthy, adding a rustic note to the menu.

The meal ended on the sweetest note: warm Belgian waffles crowned with whipped cream and colorful jams. Strawberry, apricot, and berry preserves made every bite feel festive and indulgent.

More than just a dinner, it was a celebration of flavors and togetherness. At Collège du Léman, Belgium came alive for one evening — and the girls enjoyed every moment! 🇧🇪
