Afterwards, we took a quick jaunt over to Squirrel Hill for a midday snack at Waffallonia. Specializing in Belgian waffles, specifically the sugary Liege waffle, we hoped to re-capture a little of the waffle magic from our Euro trip to Brussels this summer.
I had a waffle called Namur (apparently a city, but made me think of Namor the Sub-Mariner) with Nutella and banana slices ($4.50), while DB~ got a waffle with Nutella and whipped cream ($4.50).
The waffles are sugary and very good. Unlike the waffles your parents made when you were growing up, the mix is not a liquidy mix, but rather a dough that is put on the waffle maker and then pressed hot. The toppings are generous, but I found them to be a touch overpriced for the size -- they are slightly bigger than a man's hand.
Waffallonia is a great place to get a snack, like we did, as they aren't filling enough for a full meal. They also have ice cream there, which wasn't appealing on a 20 degree day, but something to keep in mind for a return visit in the summer.
