Where to Find Vegan Waffles in Brussels
Belgium is located in a significant geographic area and has been influenced by many different cultures. Today, it is not uncommon to meet individuals that speak French, German, or Dutch, depending on which part of the country you visit. More importantly this influence has played a role in the cuisine in Brussels from its waffles to its fries!
The 1958 Brussels World Fair (Expo 58) II showcased some of the best technological advancements at the time. It must have been a sight to behold with some of the world’s greatest minds showcasing their talents. The Soviet Union even displayed a replica of Sputnik, I can only imagine the scandal that must have caused.
But what’s really important is that Expo 58 also introduced a dish made from leavened batter, cooked between two hot plates with a distinct pattern, called a waffle. Today, the waffle has 12 different varieties across Belgium.
It may sound cliche, “Did you eat waffles in Brussels,” but I ask you, do you go to Rome without eating pizza? Do you travel to Germany and not taste the pretzel? The answer is, absolutely not!
The waffle, which I found scattered across Brussels, and was my favorite part of Brussels, but finding a vegan waffle in Brussels takes a little more effort. Check out these two spots for the best vegan waffles in Brussels And, if you need more vegan eats, check out this vegan guide to Brussels!
