WAF WAF, the counter for generous, affordable waffles, in the 9th arrondissement

Since 2021, WAF WAF, the waffle bar located just a two-minute walk from the Liège metro station in the 9th arrondissement, has been serving waffles from Chanita and Florent, a Parisian couple who have opened a veritable temple to the Liège waffle. So, come here for a truly comforting snack, a quick and healthy lunch or at any time of the day, when a little hunger strikes.

On the menu, you'll find savoury Liège waffles, with a choice of dough bases (garlic butter, dill or "flavours of the South"), then a choice of chicken, salmon, vegetables, artichoke tapenade... To form the four permanent recipes on the menu: Chicken, Salmon, Vegetarian and Parma Ham. Depending on the mood of the chefs, ephemeral recipes are also proposed, like the one with pastrami at the moment, for example! All recipes are homemade, and the waffles are made on site, every day.

On the sweet side, Chanita and Florent are equally inventive, offering a choice of bases: a waffle base with pearl sugar (the inimitable Liège waffle), frangipane-style or apple-cinnamon, which you are then free to spice up with as many toppings as you like. Purists will take their Liège waffle plain, while gourmands will ask for it topped with Nutella, melted chocolate, caramel or praline, topped with little toppings (almonds, smarties, scoop of ice cream, fruit, marshmallow...).

The good news is that WAF WAF is a particularly affordable address, perfect for small budgets: expect to pay between €9 and €12.5 for menus, including a savory and sweet waffle (as well as a drink for the €12.50 menu). For a savory waffle alone, count from €7 to €7.50. For sweet waffles, prices start at €3 for the plain pearl sugar waffle, and vary according to the toppings you add (between €0.50 and €2.5 per topping, depending on the one chosen). In summer, WAF WAF is perfect for a quick lunch in the sun on the small terrace, while in winter, the place has a few seats inside, which are also very appreciated. We love the generosity of the recipes, the gourmet Liège waffles that put Belgian waffles to shame, the quick service and the 5-star welcome. A great address to try out in the 9th arrondissement!
