What is a Caf\u00e9 Li\u00e9geois?
\n<\/span><\/h2>\n

Caf\u00e9 li\u00e9geois<\/strong> is a recipe halfway between a drink<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0 and a dessert<\/strong> wih a coffee<\/a> base. This preparation is also a variant of the Viennese coffee or the Italian affogato<\/a>, which also contain coffee<\/strong> and ice cream<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What is the difference between a caf\u00e9 li\u00e9geois and a caf\u00e9 viennois?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

The difference between a Li\u00e8ge coffee<\/strong> and a Viennese coffee lies in the temperature at which the drink is served. A caf\u00e9 viennois is served hot, whereas a caf\u00e9 li\u00e9geois is considered an iced coffee<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As with the Viennese hot chocolate,<\/strong> the Li\u00e8ge hot chocolate<\/strong> exists when coffee is replaced with chocolate during preparation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Origins of Caf\u00e9 Li\u00e9geois \u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

The name “caf\u00e9 li\u00e9geois<\/strong>” suggests a Belgian speciality from the city of Li\u00e8ge, but this is not the case. The drink has its origins in the battle of the Li\u00e8ge forts in Belgium, where Li\u00e8ge’s heroic resistance earned them a Legion of Honour from France during the First World War.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The term “caf\u00e9 li\u00e9geois<\/strong>” was invented by the French<\/strong> to describe a speciality from Vienna in Austria: the Viennese coffee. The recipe was renamed by the French because Vienna was an enemy city at the time. Eventually, the people of Li\u00e8ge changed its recipe slightly to justify the new name, and today you’ll find both terms used in caf\u00e9s and restaurants.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\r\n
