I’m belgian too. Kim is correct about the breakfast. Breaky at home, most people would also put cheese or ham on the bread.

As for the price of the waffles with 2 drinks, I think 9 euro is quite reasonable. The drinks itself would be around 5 euro’s? That leaves about 4 euro’s for the waffle, which is quite reasonable. Don’t forget you are also in the centre of the city, in a touristic part (I know the shop of the photo) which makes everything a bit pricier.

There are many different types of waffles. The one in the picture is called the Brussels waffle (in Dutch/Flemish that is: Brusselse wafel). The dough is made with yeast, which makes it so light. It is eaten with icing sugar or with whipped cream or even icecream.
At most belgian trainstations, for instance, you can buy another type of waffle, the Luikse wafel, which is a much denser waffle with little chunks of sugar in it. Very nice too.

I’m belgian and can safely say that in fact nobody eats waffles for breakfast :D

Its something you eat at either 11 o clock or 4 in the afternoon.

Belgian breakfasts are very similar to the French ones: croissant or donut-like treats with an espresso to go ;)

If you eat breakfast at home, it usually consists of bread and jam or chocolate paste, with juice or coffee or good old cereal. Belgians almost never eat heated foods in the morning…

Hope you like the answer !
