Gaufre De Bruxelles - (Brussels, Belgium)

 The Belgian Gaufre waffles are copied all over the world.   The locals however might argue it’s not the best waffle representative.  That gong goes to the Liege Waffle variety,  which is made from a proper risen dough and not a poured liquid batter. 


 

Bruxelles Central Train Station -
I like the font!

 

Jupiler Beer -
The biggest selling beer in Belgium.  It reminds me of Stella Artois beer -  both are characterless and commercialized for sales volume.  With so many great beers steeped in history within Belgium,  I don’t see the point of drinking this either.  Except to test it’s freshness here..   Yawn.

 

 

Front Counter -
They are smacked in the middle of the most busy area in the city.  
I did wonder if I ventured into a tourist trap.

 

 

 

‘Square Shaped’  Gaufre Waffle, 
served with Icing Sugar,  Strawberries,  Vanilla Ice Cream & Speculoos Spread -
The most typical way to serve a Bruxelles style waffle.  The waffle batter was decent but quite airy soft,  wasn’t very crispy but still enjoyable.     It was the fresh fruits on top and the Speculoos cookie spread that made it really likable.   A really nice combination but the waffle base was a little underbaked if you ask me.  ~  7.5/10

Brussels is a beautiful city.
It’s also very touristy,  hate it or love it
