What Belgian waffle is
Deep-pocketed waffle with sugar, cream or fruit.
Belgian waffle is listed as a dish in the Belgium guide, where the index tags it vegetarian and familiar flavours. The index uses those labels to make an unfamiliar menu legible. What it cannot tell you is how this particular kitchen seasons, fries or plates the dish, so leave room to ask.
Where to find Belgian waffle
Belgian waffle is listed as nationwide rather than tied to one city, so it is a safe thing to look for wherever you land in Belgium. Markets and casual counters are the best value; the sit-down restaurant version is usually larger and more expensive.
