About this experience

During this workshop, you’ll prepare traditional Belgian waffle dough, cook it, and then decorate your waffles with cream, chocolate, and seasonal fruits. No previous cooking experience is necessary, and kids are warmly welcome.

After a short introduction, we’ll go through the recipe, split into teams, and start cooking. We provide everything: all ingredients, cooking gear, waffle irons, a demonstration, and assistance.

Feel free to make the craziest topping combinations and take pictures! Every participant will receive a complimentary drink to enjoy with his/her waffles.

If you eat over 9 waffles during the workshop, you will become our new champion!! The record has been standing for a while and we are looking for someone to beat it!!!
