Lizzie’s is one of the best spots in Bruges to sit down and enjoy your Belgian waffle with a delicious hot chocolate. Each spot has their niche, and here it’s that the waffles are the size of your head! Prepare to share (or roll your way out of the cafe) as these light and crispy waffles take over your plate. They’re not the cheapest, but that’s just due to how giant it is, so opt for toppings that you and your fellow waffle-taster will enjoy and ask for two forks to go with it. You may have a queue for a few minutes before being seated, but it’s worth it for waffles that are cooked fresh while you wait.
