About this spot
Step into the historic Sainte-Catherine arcade for thick, golden waffles that are distinctly different from the light Belgian street variety served elsewhere. The kitchen specializes in traditional recipes using real butter and eggs to create a dense, caramelized texture that holds up perfectly against your toppings. This is where locals gather to debate whether chocolate or fruit is the superior pairing before diving into their order.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the 'gaufre au chocolat' with extra whipped cream if you want a decadent dessert experience.
- Bring cash as some arcade stalls in this historic building may not accept card payments for small orders.
- Save room for the savory meat and potato waffle option if you prefer a lighter meal than the classic sweet version.
