Belgian waffle · Bruges
Two distinct waffles: the light, crisp rectangular Brussels waffle dusted with sugar, and the dense, chewy Liège waffle studded with caramelised pearl sugar. Both sold from Bruges windows to eat on the move.
The two Belgian waffles are separate traditions. The Brussels waffle is a light, yeast-raised batter waffle, crisp and rectangular, served warm with icing sugar. The Liège waffle comes from a brioche-style dough enriched with chunks of pearl sugar that caramelise on the iron into a dense, sweet bite. Both are sold across Bruges, from takeaway windows like Chez Albert and Lizzie's Wafels to sit-down tearooms, and they are eaten plain as often as loaded.
