Four Waffles, Zero Wrong Choices: Den Anker’s Belgian Dessert Offering

At Den Anker, dessert is not an afterthought. It’s a proper Belgian moment.

Set against the backdrop of the V&A Waterfront, the restaurant leans into its roots with a waffle offering that’s simple, classic, and exactly what you want after a good meal.

Crisp on the outside, soft in the centre, each waffle arrives warm and ready to be dressed up.

  • The Vanille Waffle (R40/R65) keeps things clean and familiar, paired with vanilla ice cream that melts just enough to coat every bite. For something richer, the Chocolate Waffle (R45/R70) delivers a generous pour of chocolate sauce, leaning fully into indulgence without overcomplicating it.
  • The Speculoos Waffle (R45/R70) adds a Belgian twist, combining caramel-flavoured ice cream with the signature spiced biscuit for a deeper, slightly nostalgic flavour. And for those after something lighter, the Waffle à la Fraise (R50/R80) balances sweetness with fresh strawberries, cream, and vanilla ice cream.

Each option is available in half or full portions, which makes it easy to share—or not.

Good ingredients, proper technique, and no need to reinvent something that already works. It fits the setting too: relaxed, a little indulgent, and easy to enjoy while taking in the harbour views. For anyone wandering the Waterfront and looking for a dessert that feels both classic and satisfying, Den Anker’s waffles make a strong case for stopping in and staying a little longer.
