The most delicious waffles I’ve ever had. The best spot for Liege waffles in Brussels. I love their chocolate waffles! The chocolate is inserted into the waffle and gives a little crunch which I really love it! They are made upon order; warm crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

Chez Leon
