Experience for Your Tastebuds

Experience for Your Tastebuds

The sign on the door said, "Unusual, Exotic, Delicious". Sounded good to us, so on one evening during our stay in Barcelona, decided to try the Belgious cafe next door to our rental apartment for dessert. The apartment owner had recommended it to us, and everytime we'd passed it, the smell of waffles with Nutella lingered in the air. Earlier in the afternoon, we'd stopped in to check out the menu, and when we returned later that night we were in for a tastebud treat! There was a list of waffles or crepes with sweet toppings (fruit, marmalade, Nutella...) and salty toppings (cheeses, onion cream spread, salsa...), lots of fun fruit drinks and chocolates...

...then there was the gelato.

Flavors that were so strange, that we had to taste-test many of them. The cashier was super nice and so generous with the samples and recommendations of their 50 flavors. Here is a small list of the unusual varieties (all handmade in small batches there in town):
* Lavender
* Violet
* Spinach & Bacon
* Curry
* Red Wine
* Anise & Mint
* Açai
* Black Olive
* Baileys(R) Irish Creme
* Gin & Tonic

After tasting most of these (minus the bacon one as we're vegetarian), and then some - we ended up settling on combinations of the Anise & Mint together with a chunky dark chocolate fondant, and a pistachio (which was so fresh, it was entirely brown) and a 70% cocoa.

This is a must-stop for anyone who enjoys a sweet treat! With a unique, modern atmosphere, good prices, friendly service, fresh ingredients, and outstanding taste - Belgious is an experience for your tastebuds!
