The Embassy of Belgium will organise the first Belgian week in Nairobi from February 17 to February 21.
What would you think of if people ask you about Belgium? Right, its famous chocolates, its fine cuisine and its varied music scene. During the Belgian week in Nairobi these three aspects in which Belgium excels will be presented to the Nairobi public by the arrival of the talented Belgian chef Olivier Bruckner (L’Olivier, Namur), the renowned Belgian chocolatier (Chocolates Gerbaud, Brussels) and last but not least, the best Belgian jazz band Jef Neve Trio.
