La Gaufrerie — Restaurant in Paris

Very disappointing experience. I came in to what was a kinda cozy atmosphere. I was seated, but no physical menus were available so I had to stare at the blackboard before I could order. I saw the "MnM and chocolate praline" waffle which seemed like an odd dish, but I figured if it's on the menu it must work and I like to try new things. What I got was laughable.

It was just a very regular waffle with some candy sprinkled in the dough and on top after cooking. What's bad about that is that when a candy is cooked it loses basically all its flavor, it's not meant to be cooked. It was just a slightly more soggy waffle, that was also burned on its underside. The candy on top didn't add much to it either. The whipped cream I got on the side felt disappointing too, like it came straight from a canister.

I also ordered a hot chocolate to drink, since it was cold outside, but it didn't do me much good. It didn't taste of any chocolate and came to me fairly lukewarm. Considering what I got was a simple hot chocolate and a regular waffle it took quite a bit to make it out of the kitchen. I finished eating it faster than I recieved it.

Maybe I just happened to choose the worst options on their menu, but if they don't work then they shouldn't be...

We had the pleasure of discovering La Gaufrerie for the very first time during the Christmas holidays, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! This charming Parisian gem took us on an extraordinary culinary journey, with waffles like we’ve never seen them before. From sweet to savory, each dish was a masterpiece—beautifully presented, creatively imagined, and absolutely delicious. What truly sets La Gaufrerie apart is its unique take on the classic waffle. The savory options were inventive and full of flavor, while the sweet selections were nothing short of heavenly. Every bite was a delightful surprise, blending traditional comfort with gourmet flair. The service deserves special mention—friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. The staff made us feel welcome and taken care of from the moment we walked in. This is without a doubt a place worth recommending. Whether you’re a local or just visiting Paris, make sure to stop by La Gaufrerie. We’re already looking forward to returning on...

Simple concept: sweet or savory waffles that are quite a bit out of the ordinary. Different waffle batters depending on your choice and so many different original ideas that work with waffling just bafflingly well! I particularly enjoyed "la montagnarde" for my first ever Raclette Waffel: a pure cheesy success, greatly recommending it forward.

I wish they would offer brunching options more often during the week and I would definitely advise booking a little ahead of time, but this was definitely a highlight and an highly original take on traditional...
