what are the 6 different waffles in belgium

Belgium is best known for two main waffle styles: Brussels waffles and Liège waffles.

The two main Belgian waffles

  • Brussels waffle : light, airy, rectangular, and usually served with toppings like powdered sugar, whipped cream, fruit, or chocolate.
  • Liège waffle : denser, sweeter, and caramelized from pearl sugar, with a more irregular shape and a rich, chewy texture.

Why people say “6”

Some online lists stretch the idea and group regional or specialty waffles into broader “types,” but the most commonly recognized Belgian waffle categories are still Brussels and Liège. One source also mentions local variants such as Binche or Dunkerque-style waffles, but those are regional specialties rather than the standard “Belgian waffle” duo.

Quick note

If you meant the six regional waffle names sometimes listed in blogs or forum posts, the naming is not standardized, so different sources count them differently.
