Brussels Bites: Waffles, Chocolate, and Beer

  • Waffles

When it comes to waffles, Belgians take them seriously. Forget the syrup-drenched versions you might find elsewhere. In Brussels, waffles are street food—lightly crisp, golden, and served with minimal toppings.

The two main types you need to know about are :

  1. Brussels Waffle : Fluffier, lighter, and made from yeast-leavened batter. Deeper pockets make it perfect for holding toppings like powdered sugar, fruit, whipped cream, or chocolate.

  2. Liege Waffle : More doughy, with caramelized chunks of sugar in the batter. These dense, chewy waffles have golden pockets of melted sweetness baked right in.

Top Waffle Spot : Maison Dandoy at Galeries Royales Saint Hubert is an artisanal waffle haven. Their all-natural ingredients create waffles that’ll make your senses twinkle and dance!

  • Chocolate

Belgium is synonymous with heavenly chocolate. Skip the ordinary and indulge in rich, velvety pralines, truffles, and ganaches.

For a divine experience, explore :

  1. Aux Gaufres de Bruxelles : A must-visit for chocolate lovers.

  2. Be Waffle, Mokafé, and The Sister Café : More delightful spots to satisfy your cocoa cravings.

  • Beer

Belgium’s beer culture is legendary. From lambics to Trappist ales, there’s a brew for every palate.

Don’t miss:

  1. Delirium Café: With over 2,000 beers, it’s a beer lover’s paradise.

  2. Cantillon Brewery: Taste traditional lambic and gueuze beers.

  3. Westvleteren XII: The elusive Holy Grail of beers, available in select places.
