Belgian Beginnings
Our story began in the charming town of Bruges, Belgium, where Pierre Vandamme grew up relishing old-world cuisine. When he met fellow Belgian Philippe Wyffels in Salt Lake City, Utah, the two reminisced about the flavors of their youth. They set out to recreate the authentic Liège waffle of their memories, and then began sharing their delicious rediscovery at the local farmers market. It was an instant success! Soon they added more Belgian specialties to the menu and opened their first restaurant location in downtown Salt Lake City. Today, Bruges Waffles & Frites operates multiple locations in Utah, and is offering franchise territories throughout the western U.S.
