Wake up to Viking Breath (roast garlic, brie and onion waffle) at the Commercial Drive branch of this Scandinavian waffle house. Do you like chocolate or seasonal fruit baked into your waffle? No problem. Gluten-free and vegan-friendly varieties are on the menu, too. Eat in or watch for the bright red food truck.
One could claim that the waffle at this north Victoria Drive diner is simply a vehicle for toppings — from peanut butter to ginger spread, apple pie filling to poached egg to smoked salmon. And it’s true that this Belgian staple forms the basis of almost everything on the menu here. But the waffle itself is nothing to gloss over. Available in five varieties — Liege, Belgian (or Brussels), Vaffler (the classic Norwegian snack), gluten free or vegan/gluten free — each is light, crisp and golden. Enhanced by delicious toppings, sure, but also (Scan)delicious on its own.
