Pegi Waffles

BEST RAVIOLIS EVER!! I’m a super fan of pastas and Pegi got that on point. I’ll definitely be going back to this place. There’s just little parking space in the area or better yet just grab a ride there

I love Pegi’s!! I love it so much I’m subscribed to the newsletter. I always order the plain Liege waffle. It’s a dough-based waffle, so when you bite into it it’s chewy, and you get bits of the pearl sugar. Perfection! Closest to waffles from Belgium as you can get while in the PHL. If you like the waffles in a Starbucks then you’re in luck as they (likely) source it from Pegi’s. They have frozen products you can buy so you can enjoy them at home. The caramel stroopwafels are my favorite, as well as the five-pack Liege waffles. This cafe is tucked away in Little Baguio, San Juan, so it’s not too crowded. Great for Sunday brunches.

If i want a quiet place with almost no one around, I go to this restaurant. The place is quaint with comfortable seating. However, sometimes the staff can be a little noisy.

I ordered the salmon entree. The fish was a tad overcooked but the accompanying herb sauce was perfect. I wish it wasn’t served with rice because it didn’t have any flavor at all and contributed nothing to the dish.

They have an interesting take on waffles. At first we thought they served Belgian waffles similar to the one you can get in Starbucks. But they actually have 2 kinds of waffles and you can have it as a dessert or as a savory dish. Their waffle desserts goes well with coffee. If you're looking for a snack place or dessert place, this will hit the spot.

I like the afternoon tea package for 190php. It comes with a pot of tea, 2 buttered scones with jam and clotted cream. I love their scones which are quite hard to fine.

I've passed by Pegi Waffles, I think, twice since I moved to Quezon City. To be honest, I had no idea about them: that they're actually the supplier of the Belgian waffles at Starbucks, which people have grown to love over the years. Whenever I'd see the place, it reminded me a little bit of another bakery cafe, I guess because of the blue and they're both, you know, the dainty and quaint types.

The interiors feels both cozy, comfortable and modern, appears polished without being intimidating. Especially loved the touches of gray and the striped pattern on the couches. It's like one of those hidden cafes that you discover where you can imagine yourself finding a perfect spot to spend an entire afternoon either to hangout with friends or to finish all the things you need to blog (well, in my case). I'm not sure if they have Wi-Fi though, I forgot to ask. There's ample lighting inside the cafe, and yes, Instagram-worthy.

And though it bears a breakfast staple (or dessert, whichever you prefer) on its name, Pegi Waffles serves so much more than that.

They were really generous as we were served appetizers and we were able to order our food of choice for main course. We were quite a big group that day so there was so much food. I was able to had a bite or two of practically everything that was served but I think I'll note here those that were standouts. We were in for a big treat!

The Scones made me feel like all dignified (LOLJK) but, seriously, it was really the best! It was soft, a tiny bit crumbly and tasted buttery on its own. The combination of the clotted cream and marmalade was a tickle to the palate! I absolutely recommend it. Best served with tea! The Tuna Melt is a runner-up. The generous filling of tuna chunks and the cheesy goodness made it my second favorite from the appetizers.

My top picks are: Salmon Lasagna. I've always preferred cream-based pasta than the oil and tomato ones. One mistake I've made is not to ask how huge each serving is, and was met with a huge platter that can stuff two to three people. I loved how there were hefty salmon meat with lots of flavor. The pasta was soft and the cream was a tad overwhelming, but everything still works for me. Wagyu Beef Salpicao. I think everyone agreed this is one of the best dishes we had that day. The beef was oh-so tender and packed with flavor. That right there is premium beef, both by its texture and taste. It was a really satisfying meal that I enjoyed. And lastly, the Chicken Ala Kiev. First time I've heard of this recipe (it was also a new entree on the menu) and was surprised by how it tasted. It looked like cordon bleu, but when you slice it, there's this oil/sauce that comes out adding more depth to the flavor of the chicken.

Pegi Waffles is synonymous to the best waffles in town and also so much more! I felt that the dishes they serve are well thought of and excellent in quality. I wouldn't mind spending extra for food as delicious as these. I highly recommend this place. I'm definitely getting another bag of scones and waffles next time! And if you're in San Juan, please do pay them a visit. You won't be sorry! :)
