Waffles
Belgium is a country with a rich history, beautiful architecture, and charming folklore, but arguably the best traditional Belgian food is the waffle. Satisfy your sweet tooth at one of Belgium's waffle hot spots. The Brussels waffle, introduced at the 1958 Brussels World Fair, is the ancestor of the American Belgian waffle. But they're not quite the same, with the Belgian capital offering a variety of delicious waffles, often covered in strawberries and cream or chocolate.
Waffles with whipped cream or chocolate and strawberries
Layered waffles, sometimes called lukken in Belgium, mean lucky. In some parts of Brussels, waffles are not traditionally square, but are a doughy treat called Liège waffles. The recipe, also based on yeast, is kneaded with sugar to create a crispy, caramelized coating on the top. Pollux is a cafe next to Place de la Cathédrale that serves delicious waffles, often adding melted chocolate mixed into the dough, giving the waffles a wonderful flavor.
