Outside Funambule in Brussels

Brussels’ best waffle joints

Whether your heart belongs to Brussels – big, light and crispy, or Liège – soft, sweet and dense, at least one waffle is an essential part of any trip to Brussels.

Even better, try a few different toppings for the full experience. Opt for classic chocolate and cream, go for healthy with berries, or push the boat out with all three. Our local taster selflessly puts the very best of them to the test.

    Toppings are over the top – vertiginously heaped fresh strawberries or bananas, chocolate sauce and whipped cream – so tuck in fast to avoid spillages.
