Several months ago we had waffles at a restaurant called Blonde, just behind the Company Gardens in Cape Town. The waffles that we had that night were undeniably the best that I'd ever (ever) tasted. I tried typing a sentence to describe how awesome they were, but I just can't seem to come up with something to adequately convey how great they really were.
Subsequent to our visit to Blonde, we were told that Den Anker sells great waffles - so, we naturally headed over there to give theirs a whirl. Unfortunately, even though they were pretty good (and a definite second-place contender) the waffles that we had at Blonde significantly outclassed any waffle we've ever had - including those at Den Anker.
Do you know who sells "the best" waffles? If so, and as long as you don't say Milky Lane, please do leave a comment on this post.
Blonde closed down for a little while - but I believe that they'll be opening again... in which case, you know where to find me. ;)

I’m curious about how people get high enough to write on the walls. Some must have to climb onto the counters.
Just hold your memory of the perfect waffle in your mind. No need to go looking for it again.

Although not in Cape Town, but The Waffle House in Ramsgate on the KZN South Coast hands down!

Hi Paul, you might be interested to know that Belgian Waffles are on now on the menu at Cafe Beluga (Blonde’s sister restaurant). I haven’t tried them yet, but I plan to!

Glen, thanks for the tip – never been to Ramsgate actually.
Helen, I may just owe you big-time. Thanks for the head’s up!

Im rather surprised that the Belgian waffles at the Neighbourgoods Market in Salt River has not been mentioned, as I have tried all above mentioned places and I have to say the Biscuit mill is still the best. I’m french, but the bruxelles waffles they make at the Biscuit Mill is better than most I have tasted.

Hi,
I have started a company called ”One More” importing and selling Belgian waffles. Not the type that we Belgians heat up but the ones that you eat as a snack, lunch or delicious with a cup of coffee. Please visit my website http://www.onemorewaffle.co.za or contact me.

If you truly love waffles you have to make a turn in Muizenberg at The Boardroom, Andre the owner really knows how to make Belgium Waffles as perfect as it comes… you can also buy some to take home and freeze if you want to!!! Honestly a can’t miss experience.
