Best Belgian waffles in Brussels

Belgian waffles are not one dish but two distinct regional specialties available in Brussels. The Brussels waffle is rectangular and light with deep pockets and usually dusted with sugar. The Liège waffle is oval and dense featuring chunks of pearl sugar that caramelize. Order a Gaufre de Bruxelles for lightness or a Gaufre de Liège for a sweet crunch. Visitors should avoid stands smothered in toppings which ruin the texture of the dough.
