La Goffre: Belgian Waffles on Ibn Gvirol (Tel Aviv, Israel)

La Goffre serves Belgian waffles at night, August nights bring out sweet seekers.

On hot August evenings Tel Avivians fill Iben Gvirol sidewalks. Cafes line up Iben Gvirol from Arlozorov to Ha'cheshmonaim. When the evening air cools down from mid day highs in the 90s°F to the mid 70s°, the sidewalks starts to fill up with couples and groups. Just across from Gan Ha'ir at 84 Iben Gvirol is La Goffre a small cafe-restaurant. The specialty here is Belgian waffles with a dozen sweet toppings (syrups, chocolates, fruit, ice cream and whipped cream). On the sidewalk wicker tables give an informal feeling, sometimes you just need a comfortable place you do not need to dress for. Ten tables are outside and six tables inside. On warm evenings when the traffic along the street slows down outside tables fill up first. So if you have a few friends who want to come out and enjoy something sweet and a cold drink (beer on tap and in bottles is served here) - come to the La Goffre.
