Note: Vitalgaufre is now called Galet Waffles. Although this is not the most famous or oldest Belgian Waffle in Brussels, but it was certainly one of the best we had. On the day we visited, they had pommel (apple), vanilla, speculous, chocolate, and original waffles. Plenty of toppings to choose from of course. The shape is irregular like a Liege waffle, but the waffle is quite light and fluffy, soft on the inside and crispy outside. All the waffles are freshly made and served warm b/c of constant demand, just delicious. We ate a lot of waffles while in Brussels, Ghent, Antwerp, etc. This was the best. read more

Vitalgaufre - Vailla, Apple & Cinnamon, and Speculous flavors - Desserts Near Me - Brussels, BRU

The best waffle in Belgium period. It was so so good that I had it twice in a day. In the morning I had the waffle with chocolate inside. This waffle, unlike all the others I had, has a more bread-like consistency and needs no toppings. In the evening I had the rasberry waffle, with rasberry sauce and whipped cream. Both were amazing, but the one I had in the morning was truly unbeatable. I can't describe how great it is so you'd simply have to try it for yourself. They also sold mini waffles they make fresh daily, so I bought that as well! read more

It's called the Galet now. Definitely loved their quick service but wish there was seating area. There usually is a line but the service is quick. Since it's outside, grabbed our waffles to go. It's clean and the preparation of the waffles is done in front of you. The waffles were AMAZING indeed. All the reviews are accurate. So fresh, so soft, just melts with every bite. We ordered with whipped creams which was good too. read more

CASH ONLY the reason why im giving this review is not based on the food at all as we did not get to sample it. the reason why I am giving this amount of stars is for the fact that the CASH ONLY is just a lazy and cheap move from them not to pay credit card taxes with their transactions, making an inconvenience to the customer like me who would have loved to try it out but did not have any euros exchanged. they are located at a epicenter of tourism so there is no excuse to not have a credit card machine to get a wider range of customers at the door. I am very disappointed and I hope they work on it and take cards in the future so everyone can experience their waffles. read more

What we tried: 1) Chocolate waffle 2) Plain normal waffle - recommended What we liked: Nice sticky Belgium waffle with nice doughy taste that feels a bit of raw sugary dough which was quite nice What we disliked: The waffle was sticky but not crispy. If the waffle is not freshly hot, don't get it. It's only nice when it's hot! The dough was not fluffy and airy enough for our taste. Some like it some not: It's sweet. It's melted sugar and pieces of sugar you can taste in combination of heavy butter. If you get the chocolate waffle, add chocolate to all this and you can imagine how guilty and dead you'll feel after :D read more

Vitalgaufre - Desserts Near Me - Brussels, BRU

I feel like this might be a super touristy place, or maybe I'm just a tourist and don't know what a good waffle is, but I thought Vitalgaufre was amazing. The best waffles I've had in my life. I didn't think Belgian waffles would live up to the hype but by gosh, DID they. I was actually so pleasantly surprised that I ended up coming here twice in the 5 days I was there. The waffles were sweet, fluffy on the inside, and crispy on the outside. I had the chocolate one and the plain one, and I thought the chocolate one was a bit too sweet, but the plain one was very good. They also asked if I wanted a little bit of whipped cream the first time, and I thought, a little bit of whipped cream? Why not? So I agreed, and got WAY more whipped cream than I bargained for. Take that how you will, but overall, the waffles here are wonderful. Definitely stop by Vitalgaufre! read more

These waffles are soooo tasty! Must stop by and taste these if you're in Brussels. It's a little mom and pop shop located pretty close to the grand place area. I ordered a waffle with chocolate sauce on it because we went late in the day and they were out of fruit. I was happy with just chocolate sauce. It was so tasty and I almost wanted to order one more. Must try! Also much cheaper than other waffle stands. read more

I heard about this place and decided I wanted to try it out for the liege waffles. I wasn't sure what to expect but when I arrived, it was in the middle of a shopping district and there was a line. It was a little confusing but you get in line around the corner where you order and you pay, receiving a "ticket." You take the ticket to the person and they'll get your order for you. There are several flavor choices: vanilla (original), apple, raspberry, chocolate (with sticks of chocolate running through it), and cinnamon. I may have missed one more. They're someone decently priced - not cheap but not expensive, either. They're a good size and placed in a bit of thick Vitalgaufre paper where you can hold and eat. As you hold it, bits of the waffle may stick to the paper a little, but that's to be expected. We purchased the apple-flavored one and it was warm with a bit of caramelization on the outside. It was perfectly apple-flavored - nothing over powering nor was it too sweet. This waffle has a more bread-like consistency and frankly needs no toppings (though they are offered). It's filling enough on its own. In the end, I'm not sure if I prefer the Belgian waffle or the liege waffle. I think it mainly depends on my mood at the time. However, I would definitely say that this waffle is delicious and good if you want something indulgent on the go. read more

Yoooo.... best. freaking. waffle. ever. I stopped by Leonidas in the morning to pick-up a box of chocolates and on my way back to my hotel I could smell this sweet aroma lingering in the air. They were just opening up shop and well, we couldn't leave Brussels without having a taste of Belgian waffles! There was no line and we had first dibs on everything. Now, I don't remember what happened exactly -- either we couldn't use our card or I left my cash in my luggage, but for some reason we only had enough coins for one waffle. "No biggie" I thought until I had a bite of that baby and it was so, so good that I could cry thinking about it. We just got the plain jane waffle with nothing on top and it was amazing! I can only imagine what the other flavors tasted like. We deeply regretted not getting more and definitely talked about it throughout the rest of our trip. Oh well, we'll just have to come back for more one day! read more

Here is the 3-1-1: Food: If you went to Maison Dandoy first, you will find that these waffles are not as airy, and it will be a disappointment. A little denser so sauces are highly recommended. Service: Since it was a walk up stand, it was quick as they had the waffles ready to go and just did a warm up. Ambiance: Right in the middle of the shopping strip en route to the square but clean, orderly and efficient. read more

Galet is the name of the waffle shop now. They must have gotten this new name and signage recently. Their Liège waffle is purely the best (after comparing with waffles from other Brussels cafes) because of their flavor, crisp outside, and chewy texture inside. They would be even more awesome if the sticky sugariness was decreased by 10%, as they currently are a bit too sweet. Galet became our go-to place for Liège waffles. I like them plain vanilla. Of course, don't buy a stale waffle but make sure they cook it fresh while you wait. A fresh waffle is the only way to go, to get the aroma, flavor, and texture that makes it famously good! read more

Epic ness. Their waffles are amazing. After one bite I was trying to plan out the rest of my trip to ensure I get more before I leave Brussels. I walked by it three times before trying it and there was always a line. Well worth it! read more

Best waffle I've had in my life! Chocolate Waffle 5/5 - Great quality chocolate (not those diluted sugary or milky types) oozing out from within the waffle. Crisp on the outside and softer on the inside. Rasberry Waffle 3/5 - Waffle is also of good quality, softer than the chocolate, and a pretty pink. However, too sweet/sugary for my liking. (I dont have a sweet tooth) read more

Vitalgaufre - Chocolate Waffle, Rasberry Waffle - Desserts Near Me - Brussels, BRU

I randomly found this place a year ago when I came to Brussels and was doing some shopping. Not knowing anything about Brussels, this was the first waffle that I had after arriving and it was SO GOOD. They gave me a fresh, hot chocolate one because they ran out of the original one that I wanted. I did a little more shopping and actually came back in hopes of having another waffle but they had already closed unfortunately. I came back to Brussels last week and again half stumbled upon and half searched for this place and was so happy to eat another waffle from here and even after having other much famed waffle places in Brussels this one is still my favorite. I love how they don't advertise to cover up the original flavor of the waffle with loads of whipped cream, fruit, or ice cream. read more

The best waffles in Brussels hands down. It's the Liege style (moist and fluffy inside and crispy ok outside), not Brussels style (rectangle that's more crispy). The texture was absolutely perfect, even though, like all other waffle places in the city, it's not really made to order and has been sitting there a few minutes. Highly recommend getting the plain/Vanilla. It's sweet enough with the batter and just a bit of crystallized sugar on the outside, so no need for other additions. Also, It is no longer cash only as an earlier reviewer seemed to have experienced. They do take credit card. read more

Perfect Belgian waffles. The plain waffle is great by itself. The outside is caramelized and the inside is warm and soft. The taste is out of this world. The waffle with the chocolate inside it is F@#$ing amazing. They prong the waffle with sticks of chocolate. By the time you start eating it, the chocolate is already melting into the waffle. F@#%ing amazing... read more

Vitalgaufre - Waffle with chocolate... - Desserts Near Me - Brussels, BRU

Vitalgaufre is by far the best Belgian Waffles as each of their waffles completely embodies and incapsulates every thought or dream of what REAL BELGIAN WAFFLES are supposed to taste like. There are many breakfast establishments all over the world that offers Belgian Waffles but the problem I've always run into was each so called Belgian Waffle tasted like every other waffle until I bit into the gooey, soft, luxurious sweetness that Vitalgaufre has perfected with their Authentic Belgian Waffles. They offer Vanilla, Raspberry, and Apple flavors and if you never had a Vitalgaufre Belgian Waffle start with Vanilla and work your way down to Raspberry and Apple. Nothing I repeat nothing compares to these Belgian Waffles and you'll be hard pressed to find anything close to what each waffle will do to all of your senses. Vitalgaufre Belgian Waffles alone justifies a trip to Brussels. They have only three franchises in the US but they don't taste the same in comparison to the original establishment. read more

When in Brussels, do as the Belgians do and eat a waffle, right? Unbelievably good! I'm not a huge waffle fan, but the apple waffle hot off the grill was slightly carmelized and crispy on the outside and warm and chewy on the inside. So. Very. Good. read more

Cheap, fast, delicious. Fresh Liege style waffles and cold drinks (sadly no coffee), sold out of a counter staffed by teenagers. Grab one (I think you should stick with "vanilla" and just enjoy the sugar) and stroll on your way to see the sights. This was the best street waffle of my trip, and zero line. read more

Oh man...I started at Maison Dandoy and then tried Vitalgaufre on my waffle tour, which was a mistake. The waffles are good, but I wouldn't say best in Brussels. I was drawn to the different varieties of waffles, prompting me to order a raspberry waffle. Unfortunately, the raspberries tasted artificial, ruining the waffle for me. Lesson learned: stick with the original. I noticed there were several families ordering and several happy children with mouths full of waffles. Perhaps this is the kid-friendly waffle takeaway? read more

The waffles here were fresh and delicious compared to the others we had seen in Brussels. You could smell them as you walked down the street, and they pulled them straight out of the waffle maker as your ordered them then added the chocolate in on the spot! read more

Vitalgaufre - chocolate waffle - Desserts Near Me - Brussels, BRU

There are many waffle stands throughout all of Brussels, and I thank Yelp for leading me to this one. There is no way I could have tried all the different stands within a short weekend, but I did try Dandoy vs. Vitalgaufre, and this place was hands down 100% better. My husband and I each had a plain waffle from here, I had apple, and he had vanilla. They were both amazing. the best waffles we have EVER had from a stand, and even Switzerland has a couple of waffle stands here and there. There is a reason this was one of the waffle stands that always had a long line. They are so good, that you don't want the toppings to take away from the flavor or perfect combination of crispiness and soft insides. read more

Very good waffles. Just grab and go street food. The apple filled waffle was delicious and best of all, not messy. The apple is in the middle, not topped. The waffle is served hot and a bit caramelized around the edges. Yummo!The girls here were quick and friendly. read more

Favorite waffles in Brussels. Simple with the flavor cooked inside and different from other waffle places in Brussels. Also, a good bargain.

Oh my 3 language country speaking gosh. price- cheap. $2.5 euro for a waffle quality- you can smell it from afar and it tastes so good!! We got chocolate and apple caramel. Chocolate was better because it's gooey. Quantity- handheld size Atmosphere- a big hole in the wall Staff- simpatique Get it and forget the rest read more

Wow! So tried a few of the other places that got rave reviews and then tried this place. This place is hands down the best! No need for toppings to smother the waffle flavor. All of them are good and if you get the chocolate it's actual chocolate bars they insert in the waffle and melt as you eat it!! They don't come cheap but are worth every cent! Starting at 2.45 for plain but all you need is one as they are very filling. And hey are easy to eat as you hold it with your hand unlike the ones stacked with toppings Nd make a mess when you eat them with a fork. read more

Melt in your mouth waffles! Tried the original with cholate stuffed inside and we also had the raspberry filled waffle the cholate was better but the raspberry was not too shabby read more

Tried the red raspberry (framboise) waffle, plain. Not only was it delicious and cooked perfectly ( nice crispy caramelization on both sides), but the raspberry flavor gave it an amazingly mouthwatering taste. read more

The fresh waffles are crispy. Ask for the ones that freshly came out of the waffle maker. They give tourists the old soggy ones.

After eating original Belgian waffles from the plethora of waffle stands around Grand Place, no Belgian waffle outside Belgium will ever be the same again. I just left a review for another waffle place near Vitalgaufre so I thought it would be fair to leave this place a stellar review as well. Very few things in life will feel as good as biting down warm, freshly-baked, authentic Belgian waffles from Vitalgaufre -- crispy on the outside yet soft on the inside. read more

AMAZING!! Best Belgian waffles! Original! Wish i had gotten another when i was there :[...

I had the Nutella with whipped cream gaufre. Simply exceptional.

even though undercooked like most liege waffles, this place was better than most. order at counter, they give yiu a ticket, pick up in the other line read more
