a taste of belgium in SLC

bruges waffles has been a longtime favorite 

of mine ever since it was a little cart at

the salt lake farmers market so many years

ago...now it's grown into a salt lake favorite,

with a cute tiny location downtown, a 

bigger sugarhouse store, a waffle bus,

and a new location coming to provo.

i've loved seeing such a great place grow

and have success! the owner pierre is the

greatest, and i remember going into the

downtown shop when i was a freshman in

college and asking him all about belgium

and the town of bruges since i was just

about to leave on a study abroad to europe.

i fell in love with belgium and had to come

straight back to bruges when i came home

at the end of the summer because i needed

those authentic waffles in my life!

since then, pierre's brother in law frederic 

and his wife hadewich have moved out to

salt lake city from belgium to help with the

store and be part of it -- how great is that?

what a supportive family to come over and 

join the fun! i can't blame them :)

^^ i had to go to bruges this visit with

my brother + dad, since we were the 

original discoverers of this place in our

family and we love it the most. we take

all the credit for sharing it with the rest

of our family and we've been here too 

many times to count! it's the best.

^^ even the drawings look delicious!

^^ first things first, the sugarhouse waffle.

i only have one word for this: heaven.

^^ i love that they bring the spirit of belgium to the store!

also, bruges was one of my favorite towns i've ever visited..

so i love the bruges theme even more!

^^ the torpedo waffle = a liege waffle filled with bars of

belgian chocolate. what!! talk about genius.

^^ the famous belgian frites...i remember being in 

belgium and trying the frites with all the different sauces

and thinking of fries completely differently...so much better!

^^ i was so surprised  at how much i LOVED 

this sandwich! i thought i would just go for

the classic sweet liege waffles, but this

italian sandwich was incredible. trust me.

bruges has now become a lunch spot in my

mind as well as a breakfast/treat spot!

the sandwiches are so fresh and so yummy, 

served on waffles. can't beat that!

^^ but, my favorite of them all for sure.

the cinnamon liege waffle with creme + fruit.

^^ thanks frederic for meeting us and

telling us so much that we didn't know

about one of our favorite places!

bruges is always at the top of my list

when i come in town, and it's the first

and best of the authentic liege waffles

in salt lake city. go here if you haven't!
