Pollux

Liège


Facing Liège's cathedral, Pollux is the city's classic choice for gaufres liégeoises – waffles freshly made while you wait.

For just 50 centimes extra, the 'fourrée' version has three inserted sticks of chocolate that melt indulgently inside the still-hot waffle. They also do sandwiches, ice creams and frozen yoghurt.
