The two kinds of waffle
Two recipes, two personalities. The same love for Belgian tradition.
The Liège waffle
Generous, soft and full of character.
Its secret lies in the dough and in its most special ingredient: authentic Belgian pearl sugar, made from white beet, also known as sugar beet.
As it bakes, the sugar caramelizes and gives the Liège waffle its unique flavor and texture.
Rich, generous and delicious on its own, it could be compared to a Belgian sweet bread.
A specialty to enjoy just as it is.
The Brussels waffle
Bigger, yet surprisingly lighter.
Its delicate, airy texture recalls the lightness of puff pastry.
Unlike the Liège waffle, its flavor is neutral, not sweet.
That's why it pairs with both sweet and savory toppings.
A true delicacy that suits every taste.
Much more than a waffle
Breakfast and savory dishes
Waffles aren't always sweet.
With its neutral flavor and delicate texture, the Brussels waffle is also perfect for savory dishes.
Brussels waffle with scrambled eggs and smoked salmon, original breakfasts and other combinations to discover a new way to enjoy this Belgian specialty.
Because a waffle can also be part of a delicious breakfast or brunch.
The story behind our waffles
Some ingredients tell far more than a recipe.
For us, one of them is sugar.
In Belgium, beet sugar is part of a long tradition. And for our family, this story holds a very special meaning.
For seven generations, our family has been linked to the world of sugar.
It all starts with a beet
In Mexico, the beet (betabel) is well known. But few people know there is another variety: the white beet, also called sugar beet.
This plant gives us the sugar that makes up an essential part of the Liège waffle's personality.
Our authentic Belgian pearl sugar, made from beet sugar, withstands heat and caramelizes as it bakes. These little crystals create the distinctive flavor and the delicious caramelized crust that make the Liège waffle unique.
More than a recipe
For us, making a Liège waffle isn't simply about following a Belgian recipe.
It's about carrying on a story.
A story of family, tradition and ingredients that have been part of our lives for generations.
That's why behind every waffle we make at Wafflessence de Paul, there is a small bond between Belgium and Mexico.
From our family to your table

At our restaurant, we share the flavors of Belgium through our waffles and specialties.
