Sea girl 23 Posted November 23, 2017 #4 Share Posted November 23, 2017 The waffles in the Lido are Belgian.They are a good size and have lots of nooks and crannies for syrup(I prefer the fruit sauces they have,though.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Hlitner Posted November 23, 2017 #5 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Yes, they do have them in both places but you might need to use some strategy to avoid waffles that are like hockey pucks. In the MDR, by the time a waffle gets from the galley to the table is is likely going to be luke warm (or cold). In the lido buffet, they will sometimes cook waffles and then toss them into a bin on a steam table...and these often suck. However, in the lido you can simple ask the waffle cook to make you fresh waffles (or get ones as they take them off the waffle iron). When fresh and hot they are quite good.

CruiserBruce Posted November 23, 2017 #6 Share Posted November 23, 2017 In the Lido, just ask for fresh waffles. You may have to wait about 3 minutes. Done this on many HAL ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted November 23, 2017 #7 Share Posted November 23, 2017 If you are in a Neptune Suite or the Pinnacle Suite, and eat in the Pinnacle Grill for breakfast -- they arrive cold there as well. I tried them a couple of times and then just gave up. In the Lido I just ask the man making them to make me a fresh, hot one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never order them in the MDR anymore. Freshly made in the Lido is the way to go. They are delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkacruiser Posted November 27, 2017 #11 Share Posted November 27, 2017 In the Lido Restaurant, a fresh made waffle with a warm fruit compote is delicious! I prefer the warm Peach Compote, but the other compotes are also delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinykygal Posted November 27, 2017 #15 Share Posted November 27, 2017 They will be hotter in the dining room....and you won't have to search for butter or syrup! In the Lido,on HAL, waffles made on the spot so always hot. Crepes as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drowelf Posted November 27, 2017 #17 Share Posted November 27, 2017 You can get them fresh from the griddle in the Lido and the syrup and other toppings are right at hand. Yep, the Lido is the way. I often run up after our breakfast is delivered on port days, to get a couple of nice fresh hot ones to go along with the stuff we ordered.

You really don't have to search for butter and syrup. They are right there near the pancakes and waffles or just ask a crew member if you don't see them. Why do you always bring this up...makes no sense. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knittinggirl Posted November 27, 2017 #20 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I tried them both in the MDR and the Lido. Lido's better. In the Lido, they have a daily waffle special. They're usually on one side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcrcruiser Posted November 28, 2017 #23 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Will be sailing in Feb on Oosterdam & must try those waffles with fruit in the Lido . I can taste them already ,YUM !! :D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted November 28, 2017 #24 Share Posted November 28, 2017 They just put certain toppings on. Chocolate chips and whip cream today. Maybe strawberries and something else. Generally, those things are available every day, but they "feature" certain things on certain days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
