House of waffles — Restaurant in Bruges

Damn these waffles are to die for! There’s something special about eating a Belgian waffle in Belgium 🧇🤤 and these waffles are extra special! There are 2 types of waffles to choose from, the Brussels waffle (fluffy as hell and a bit bigger) or the Liége waffle (which is smaller and sweeter), and then there are a multitude of amazing combinations and toppings as well. We went for breakfast and I tried the Classico on a Brussels waffle, which came with rich vanilla ice cream, whipped cream and a heavenly dark chocolate sauce. My partner had the banana bonanza and it was loaded with fresh banana, also with the whipped cream and chocolate sauce. These waffles were almost melt in your mouth good. They came out hot and very quickly, and our server (shout out Yusri!) was super friendly and helpful! Felt very welcome here. Got there right when it opened at 10:30 and there was no wait, but the place filled up fast 😋 They have a beautiful terrace for nice days, and the interior is hip and cool, a great vibe. They also have a selection of savoury waffles that really pop and I can’t wait to try. Heading back there tomorrow for breakfast, and I’ve got my eye on the buffalo mozzarella balsamic waffle this time! The prices are a little high, but being in a tourist town it’s understandable, and you can’t beat the quality of the food and service. 10/10 would recommend.

Edit: went back today for the savoury waffles. Oh. My. God. They are on a whole ‘nother level. We had the Norwegian style with a generous portion of smoked salmon, and the Italian style with a HUGE portion of buffalo mozzarella. Shout out to Vic in the kitchen, the man is a genius with a waffle iron. Again the service was amazing, everything came out beautifully presented and hot. The absolute best way to start your...

tl;dr: prrrretty good, and a nice departure from cliché sweet waffles. Very creative menu and decor. I would have rated it 4.5 stars but since that isn’t possible it gets 5. Would return many times 😀

We had many a sweet waffle in Belgium so this was already pretty interesting even before eating. I cannot for the life of me remember if I had breakfast before I ate lunch here, but the meals are portioned well enough that I could have a salty waffle and a sweet one. I really like that more than huge portions, as it allows you to taste more things without feeling absolutely dreadful afterwards.

I got a simple BLT for my salty dish. The bacon was just right, neither rubbery nor too crunchy, with just the right amount of lettuce and tomato, topped by an egg. Cream cheese ties the thing well. I had trouble picking because there are many interesting options so take your time.

I then went for the banana bonanza, with a Liege waffle instead of Brussels. Nothing special to mention, other than the chocolate sauce was quite good. The whipped cream balances the flavors, but to be honest I don’t care much for whipped cream.

Their coffee happens to be somehow pretty good, even better than some specialty coffee shop we went to (which was way too strong for my taste).

Service was fast even though the place was packed. I guess basing dishes around fast-to-make waffles is a good idea for fast service. I really have nothing bad to say...

Смачне місце для бранчу .

Інтер'єр закладу приємний, а що неприємно ,це що через великий потік людей, які хочуть потрапити у заклад, вас трохи пожвавлюють розплатитися та покинути заклад 😆( культурно, але все ж)

Вафлі дуже смачні і " легкі" ,і якщо дощовий день, приємніше насолоджуватися їх смаком за столиком в кафе ,аніж на вулиці ;)

Waffles are here literally at every corner and their aroma is tempting to taste them 😋 📍Belgium, everywhere

УКР⤵️⚠️

There exists in several varieties, but the most popular are 2 traditional waffels, Brussels and Liège waffels.

Brussels - rectangular, less sweet and large. Due to the use of large amounts of protein, they are light and have a lush structure.

Lieges wafels have an oval shape and are baked with pieces of caramelized sugar, due to which they become hard and crunchy. And they are very sweet.

Brussels waffles are served warm, sprinkled with powdered sugar, cream and or ice-cream , Liege waffles can be served both hot and cold. Many options for waffles exist to add into such as hot chocolate, ice cream, fresh cream, fruit ....and only in Brussels cafes there will be a possibility to eat salty fillings, the so-called lunch waffles, it can be a variety of combinations of cheese, avocado, salmon, chicken ..... However, we can eat them as well in Bruges.

Where to taste? Order waffles only where they are prepared and baked in front of you, and not just "heated up".

It is sold from street stalls, baked in small cafés or confectioneries and surely included in the menu of restaurants.

I will end the story with the words of locals: "All people should have their own little joys that allow everyone to be happy at least for a while and our waffles are made for this."

Well, it is not a coincidence that Brussels waffles are called the most exquisite of democratic dishes Enjoy! 🥞🍓☕ ▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎ Вафлі тут буквально на кожному кроці і їх аромат спокушає скоштувати😋 📍Бельгія, повсюду

В цій країні традиційними є 2 різновидностей " брюссельські і льєжські.

Брюсельські - прямокутної форми ,менш солодкі і великі . За рахунок використання великої кількості білків вони легкі і мають пишну структуру.

Льєзькі мають овальну форму і запікаються зі шматочками карамелізованого цукру, за рахунок чого стають твердими та хрумкими. А ще вони дуже солодкі.

Брюссельські вафлі 🧇подаються теплими, присипаними цукровою пудрою, льєжські вафлі🧇 - можуть подаватися і в гарячому, і в холодному вигляді. До обох варіантів вафель вам запропонують безліч добавок : гарячий шоколад , морозиво, крем фреш ,фрукти.... і лише до брюсельських солоні начинки ,так звані ланч-вафлі, це можуть бути різноманітні комбінації сиру,авокадо, лосось, курятина.....

Де скоштувати ? Замовляйте вафлі лише там ,де їх готують при вас , а не " розігрівають уже готовий виріб.

Популярну насолоду можна знайти буквально на кожному кроці. Її продають з вуличних лотків, готують у маленьких кафе та кондитерських та обов'язково включають у меню ресторанів.

Завершу розповідь словами місцевих: " У всіх людей мають бути свої маленькі радощі, що дозволяють кожному хоча б ненадовго ставати щасливими і наші вафлі створені для цього " Що ж, не випадково брюссельські вафлі називають найвишуканішим із демократичних страв😍🧇 Смачного...
