Gluten free Belgian waffles from VeganWaf!
Hey everyone, Chloe G. here again with another gluten-free travel guide! This time, we’re taking a short but sweet day trip to beautiful Belgium. From the heart of the city center to hidden gems, I’ve got you covered with celiac-safe eats that are sure to make your taste buds sing. Ready? Let’s explore Belgium, gluten-free style!
Start Your Day at Cappuccino Brussels
First things first, you need a hearty breakfast to fuel your Belgian adventure. Head to Cappuccino Brussels, a cozy spot offering some fantastic gluten-free options. You can enjoy safe omelets, fried eggs, a selection of cheeses, fresh fruit, and even salads. Whether you’re in the mood for a traditional breakfast or something light and fresh, Cappuccino Brussels has just what you need to start your day right.
Sweet Treats at Agora Food Hall
No trip to Belgium is complete without indulging in some Belgian waffles, and Agora Food Hall is the place to be! Here, you’ll find VeganWaf, a 100% gluten-free, lactose-free, and vegan Belgian waffle stand. Their waffles are fluffy, warm, and absolutely delicious. Made right in front of you, they’re perfect with a variety of toppings like salted caramel, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and fresh strawberries. Trust me, these waffles are a dream come true for any gluten-free foodie.
Dinner at Les Rendez Vous
As you continue exploring the city center, you’ll eventually need to grab some dinner. I didn’t find a ton of gluten-free dinner options in Belgium, but Les Rendez Vous is a reliable spot for a safe and satisfying meal. Their Greek or Caesar salads (sans croutons) are fresh and delicious, and while it might not be as exciting as other European gluten-free eats, it’s a great option when you’re in a pinch. Sometimes a good, celiac-safe salad is all you need to keep you going.
Snack Time: Keep Exploring!
While Belgium might not have as many dedicated gluten-free spots as some other European countries, it’s still possible to find safe and tasty options. Keep your eyes peeled for fresh fruit stands and small cafes that offer simple, naturally gluten-free snacks. Fresh fruit, nuts, and even some packaged snacks from local grocery stores can be great options to keep you energized as you explore.
So, there you have it—a quick yet delightful gluten-free day trip to Belgium. From warm waffles at VeganWaf to fresh salads at Les Rendez Vous, you’re sure to find some delicious celiac-safe eats to enjoy. Remember, traveling with celiac disease doesn’t have to be stressful—with a little planning and some insider tips, you can have a fantastic and worry-free foodie adventure.
Until next time, happy gluten-free travels!
Stay gluten-free, Chloe G. 🌍✨
