Capoue

Being in brussels, it's a sin not to have belgian waffles! Was guided to this place specifically for their waffles =) Always great to have a local knowing where to go. Always helps when it's a she who likes food too!

Chaperon Rouge - Glace Vanille-Fraise, Coulis de Framboise
And so I opted for the chaperon rouge. Glace vanille-fraise, coulis de framboise. Also translates into strawberry and vanilla icecream with raspberry sauce. The belgian waffle is more crispy and larger than the liege waffles, and I can definitely see why!

Brasilia - Glace Vanille-Moka, Sauce Caramel, Nougatine
My friend orders the brasilia consisting of glace vanille-moka, sauce caramel and nougatine. Vanilla and mocha icecream, covered in caramel with roasted nuts and honey. If only I could be here longer, I'd so be willing to sample all the different combinations of toppings!

Capoue
Unfortunately after all the eating, was unable to continue trying their other desserts. With such a wonderful selection of dessert cakes in the fridge, was a disappointment I couldn't have more!

Waffles... definitely can't say no to them, and definitely can't get enough of them! For sure I'd keep eating and eating. And why not when they're this good.

Fritland

Another thing not to miss in brussels is their frites! What makes their frites so special in belgium? It starts with bintje potatoes which are then double fried. Deep fried once, allowed to cool... and then deep fried again.

Fritland
With only a little shop front, it was still packed the whole time. Guess the locals can't get enough of it either.

Frites
 And the famous frites! Doesn't look anything special, but you can sure taste the difference.

Mitraillette and Carrero
The mitraillette and carrero. The mitraillette literally translates to submachine gun. This is a smaller version of a baguette filled with fried meat and frites! I don't remember exactly what the carrero was (I had the luxury of just sitting back while my friend ordered), but it was some more deep fried goodness of meat. And just another little random note, the can's are only 330ml.

I'm sure this isn't the only place you can find this, but anywhere you go... it's something not to miss!
