We were leaping for joy when we stumbled upon this spot! The smells of delicious waffles and chocolate waft throughout the entire town and it's wildly tempting. After trying several waffles around town, this spot stood out. They use oat flour, coconut sugar, and other natural, local ingredients. The waffles are also in a lacy pattern, resembling the lace-making that the city is so known for. Everything on the menu is also DF and GF. They have a seasonal menu and we tried... + Crispy Cacao Waffle: oat waffle with whipped cream, strawberries, pomegranate seeds, cacao nibs, flower petals + Bruges Fall Waffle: oat waffle with organic almond yogurt, apple fries, almond butter, waffle crumble, cinnamon, flower petals + Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop: also GF/DF and put on a handmade waffle cone We can't wait to try more because everything has been amazing. They also have a healthy drink selection and you can even order a plain waffle or build your own. I love having this healthier option, especially with having a toddler. It's also in a great spot - right on the canal, with great people watching (boat tours, horse carts, tourists, etc). Next door is also one of our favorite local restaurants - Fritbar. You can board a boat tour across the street too. PS: There is a little back patio where you can enjoy your food while watching the boats!
This waffle place is very cute and charming. The staff was very helpful in describing the menu. Those factors helped me up this rating. The whipped cream was ok. The waffle itself was very lackluster. I did take into account I am from the USA and might not be accustomed to an authentic waffle. I just didn't care for the taste. Maybe strawberries would have helped. However, I did not want to dress up the waffle so much that I could not actually taste it. They are in a great location which is in the center of Brugges, Belgium.
As you are walking through the canals towards the market square, you'll likely spot this bustling, playful waffle shop next to a bridge. Here they make their waffles with an oat based dough and shape uniquely in a lace-like shape hence the "Bruge Waffle". Their carefully crafted waffles are gluten free and with this health conscious approach comes a pricier product. They have their set menu of waffle types which include various toppings at €8.50. If you want a simple waffle, the "Otto on the Go" for €3.50 with the option to add various toppings (build your own) is the way to go. The *Crispy Cacao* I ordered with choice toppings of whipped cream, strawberries, pomegranate, cacao nibs and a sprinkling of flower garnish was quite the pretty snack plus a definite lighter version than the Brussels and Liege waffle counterparts. There is seating inside but I was much drawn by the outdoor scenery content to consume my delightful, crispy and warm waffle standing instead. A pretty waffle it was which was tasty and clean, a change from the traditional and not necessarily a weird one.
I was so excited to try an authentic Belgian waffle. There are a variety of toppings you can add like fruit, whipped cream, etc. I wanted just whipped cream so I could taste the waffle more. Well, this waffle was not what I expected. It is hard to describe the flavor. Maybe bitter. No sugar at all. I don't know. The whipped cream was just ok. I am from the USA so maybe not used to the authentic experience. I hardly ever eat a waffle even at home. The staff was real nice and the store was very inviting.
Located just across St. Joseph's Hospital. This little waffle Café features such beautiful Belgian waffles there are shaped in these little floral patterns and top with various items. We ordered one waffle which was topped with ice cream, as well as some other chocolatey toppings, and another, which was topped with whip cream, strawberries, and pomegranate seeds. Both waffles were super yummy. I would definitely recommend - the vibes here were super cute. Also, on another note, there was no bathroom here.
Gluten free- Yes, Everything. Dairy/Casein free- Most of the menu One of the most depressing things when traveling is walking by all of the delicious food that you know that you can look at, but not eat. Being a celiac with additional odd ball allergies that most of the population will never have to ever worry about makes safely eating while travel some time like trying to find a needle submerged in concrete. So it was beyond shocking to find a dedicated Gluten free place to eat. Highlights: +Everything is Gluten Free! +A majority of the items are Dairy/Casein Free, the use Oat milk + This will not break your budget! Yes, some may find it more than the many other waffle shops, but for GFCF, this is amazing! + The owners were very friendly and were happy to answer my questions +Easy to find. It is near the Saint Johns Hospital and under the tower of the Church of Our Lady. + You had to get it to go, though luckily there were a few benches outside to sit at enjoy your treat. Tip: + If you are accident prone when it comes to spilling food on yourself, make sure to get extra napkins.
Amazing waffles! This is our third time to Brugge and this place by far has the best waffles. My wife had the Gone Nuts waffle and I had the strawberry, chocolate and cream waffle...they were amazing and gluten free (which I found out later)! We talked to the owner and he uses oat flour and oat milk This place is a must for all "Waffler's" when in Bruges!
Very good waffles here. The waffle design is also cool but they were not the best ones in town. I think it's because of the dough they use. Can't remember what was inside the dough but this place is a "healthier option" to the other waffle places in town. The only problem is that when I'm on vacation the last thing I want is something healthy, lol.
Upscale, healthy, vegan Belgian waffles, if you're ever wondering if that exists. I did indeed feel less guilty eating this than I would with a regular Belgian waffle, but in the end, I prefer to have a regular powdered sugar, chocolate-drizzled, whipped-creamed Belgian waffle off of a waffle stand, any day. I had the Crispy Cacao, which came with fresh strawberries, rose petals, pomegranate, raw cacao nibs, strawberries & honey cream on an oat waffle. The presentation was pretty but it was very expensive (€7-8) for just an Instagram-pretty waffle that was pretty dull-tasting beyond the exotic-sounding toppings. It may have been the lack of oil because it was pretty dry, or the lack of syrup, but it felt like a waffle that I could easily just throw the ingredients into a waffle maker, minus the oil and sugar. If you've never had a healthy Belgian waffle and want to see what it's like having one, I would recommend checking this place maybe at least once, for the sheer curiosity.
First time in Belgium and I knew I obviously had to get a waffle! A group of us were walking around and recognized this place from TikTok and decided to try it. The menu consists of their waffle creations and a build-your-own option. We didn't notice until after we ordered that all the waffles are gluten-free, dairy-free, and plant-based. Honestly, if I had knew that before coming here I would have chosen a different waffle place. Service was good and the workers spoke some English. There isn't much space inside to eat your waffles there, but it is clean. All the waffles are prepared freshly right in front of you and served made to order. I will note these are definitely a more expensive option, each waffle is about €10 and they aren't huge. I ended up ordering the Chocolate Lady waffle which included a waffle with dark chocolate sauce, vanilla ice cream, cocoa nibs, and roasted buckwheat. Waffles came out about 10 minutes after ordering. While this may seem like a longer wait, there was a large group of us and only one worker making the waffles. The waffles itself were very flaky and not heavy at all. After hearing that they were "diet friendly" waffles, in understood why. Honestly, the waffle didn't have a ton of flavor. The rich chocolate sauce atop with the ice cream saved it in my opinion. While they were lighter than maybe a traditional Belgian waffle, I don't think this is anywhere close to a traditional Belgian waffle. I appreciated the presentation and better ingredients, but I was a little disappointed. I enjoyed my waffle here, but if you are seeking an authentic Belgian waffle, look elsewhere. This is an excellent spot for people with dietary restrictions though. These waffles are also much pricier than ones you'll find in the area and they are not very filling. I loved the presentation, the toppings, and the overall aesthetic of the eatery, but the waffle fell very short. This is, unfortunately, an example of a "TikTok tourist trap" place. If you are dairy or gluten sensitive, check this place out! If not, I would look somewhere else. Chocolate Lady Waffle 5/10 read more
Delicious!! Our first waffle in Belgium and it did not disappoint! I love the clean ingredients and the waffle was perfect and fresh! There was a bit of a line but it was definitely worth it. There isn't much seating but the small back patio allows for a pretty view of the bridge and canal. Would definitely recommend!! read more
Fun stop in Bruges! The waffles were pretty good a little undercooked for my liking, but the toppings were so fun and even finding a vegan waffle I had to stop in. They take a while to make and seating is limited, but the views of the canal are worth the stop alone. A fun sweet treat! read more

Not my favorite waffle place I went in Bruges but still good. Waffles had a different taste (I think because they are gluten free) and kinda tasted like banana bread. Nice view on the back patio read more

Almost speechless. So good. This is not your average white flour waffle, the blend of flours used are so flavorful and delicious. They're made fresh for you and come out very warm. Had breakfast here 3 days in a row on our visit. read more

I'm pretty sure Otto is a vegan Waffle House. The food was very good and I actually felt healthy eating it! I would say I prefer the sweet style waffles, but it's a good change of pace. read more
