Allez garçon! Watch the waiters race at Brussels' Parc du Cinquantenaire and you'll never complain about slow service again. Armed with a tray bearing a bottle of liquor and three full glasses, the perfectly poised waiters head for the finishing line.
This two-day event takes over the park with markets, concerts, brass bands and wine-tasting marquees, but it's undoubtedly the waiters' race that draws the huge crowds every year.
While the main waiters' race is only open to professionals, there is another for amateurs with a strong sense of balance, so get practising!
