I wasn't expecting much other than the aesthetic and unique fusion aspect, but it actually blew and exceeded my expectations. The cafe has an amazingly cozy atmosphere with spacious tables, and the menu has so many fantastic options I wish I could come back everyday to retry it. We decided to go for one savory and one sweet option (nordic waffle and biscoff), and both were out of the world. The bubble waffles were soft and pillowy, going well with the toppings we chose. The nordic waffles came with a generous portion of salmon (so fresh and tasty), avocados, and creme sauce. It tasted so healthy and refreshing. The biscoff waffles came with a generous dose of biscuit crumbs, ice cream, chocolate sauce, powdered sugar, and whipped cream - a perfect balance on the waffle. I would recommend this place to anyone coming to Antwerp!

I decided to order the Liege and Brussels Waffle to satisfy my sweet tooth. Now I did not realize there were two different types of waffles. The Liege waffle is shorter and chewier - with a caramelized sweet flavor. The Brussels is usually rectangular and is lighter and crispier. I ordered mine with a side of bananas and strawberries, caramel sauce and of course I had to get the vanilla ice cream. The team was attentive and friendly. Definitely glad I ended up here during my solo trip.

I learned this about most European restaurants the hard way after attempting to dine here two nights in a row on a very, VERY rumbly stomach. And I was desperate to have my first waffle in Belgium. So, I finally got to try this place out the morning I left and it was a nice last sit-down meal to remember the city by. I got the Wafel Désiré de Lille--a fresh, toasty, warm light waffle topped with coffee ice cream, fresh whipped cream with hazelnuts, all topped with powdered sugar--the perfect basic delicacies you could ever ask for on a waffle. This was my breakfast but it was the best meal I had in days and I was so satisfied at the end. The perfectly warm temperature of the waffle and its toastiness is very memorable, and honestly the best waffle I've ever had--and I'm not even exaggerating, after spending 6 days in Belgium, snacking on waffles on the go. It was around €8-9, which is not bad, and you do get great quality. Service was average, but wasn't bad. The waiter was no-frills but helpful with recommendations in the area during those nights where I missed the cut-off.

So far on my trip, I've had the chance to try waffles in Netherlands, but I really wanted to try an actual "Belgian" waffle. This cafe sits in the busy shopping area of Antwerp, bout 10-15 minutes walking distance from central station. When walking up I noticed the restaurant was really busy with people, which is a great sign. They have outside tables along with an inside dining area. Their menu features shakes, waffles, dutch pancakes, beignets, a few savory dishes and coffee drinks. I have no idea if they had a menu in English or not, I wasn't able to find one. My bad experience here started with service pretty much, the waitress here kind of rolled her eyes at me once she realized I didn't know any language except English (I'm sure my spanish was useless as well). After that encounter it was all downhill. I ordered their "Wafel desire de lille" thinking maybe this was their speciality waffle dish, cost about 8 euros and some change. The desire de lille was a liege waffle topped with ice cream, whipped cream and a dusting of nuts on top. Unfortunately I found the texture to be pretty bad, it wasn't crispy on top like it should have been and ended up being super soggy after the ice cream melted a bit. Taste wise it was just okay, I expected the ice cream to have a bit more flavor but it ended up being very bland. Very disappointed in both the waffle and the service here. My waitress made me feel like a total burden for some reason, even though she didn't really do much other than take my order which was just me pointing to an item on the menu. Someone else ended up bringing me my coffee and waffle. I understand the language barrier stuff, but I don't feel like that I should be treated like that. Anyways, the waffle wasn't good and service kinda sucked, not really a good time here. They also didn't have WiFi, the final nail in their 2 star review.

Since I was just hungry, I tried to look for a food stand and caught Waffles in the stall. They were very cheaper than other Waffle's price in Antwerpen. I decided to buy one. It was 6 Euro. The price was good, and the tastes was marvelous. Above all, it was so beautiful view that Grote Markt Square was surrounded by the monumental fountain and the magnificent buildings, Guild Houses, City Hall. The Grote Markt Square is probably best known for the beautiful houses of the Guilds which align the Square. Those buildings are relatively new. The original houses were destroyed in the fire of 1576. They rebuilt in Flemish Renaissance style, but were revamped again in the nineteenth century.

Since I had a hankering for gelato and made up my mind I wanted - nay - NEEDED it, I found this one pretty close by to the spot I picked for dinner. And yes, they DO take CC! (Sidenote: had no Euros since I didn't want to exchange and have a few leftover from my trip.) Honestly, I did not have high hopes or expectations because it is in a touristy spot, but they really impressed me. (Or maybe my standards for gelato is low since the US generally isn't great at it, haha ) I ordered a scoop of the mocha (note: the flavors are not listed in English, but you can kind of figure it out with common sense) on a Brussels waffle. It tasted super creamy and had a great punch of mocha flavor, and was not overly sweet. Balanced well with the crispy yet moist waffle. Would recommend if you're craving gelato!
