The wife and I have a long history with Méert. The first thing I ever had were the caramels. Then,…read moreduring my first visit to Lille, in France, home to one of the three Méert shops (the other being in Paris), I sampled their gaufres. Or rather, fell in love with their gaufres. The vanilla filling is to die for. We've taken visiting friends to Méert and bought more and more of their gaufres, but never had we actually eaten in. We decided, after seeing their luxurious looking tarts, that we had to try them. When we arrived, all the tables out front in the Galeries Royales Saint Hubert were full, as well as the small number of tables in the actual shop. We ordered our tarts and only had to wait about five minutes before a free table opened up and we were seated. We ordered the Tarte Yuzu and the Jardin D'Eden. You can read the description of both, and all the others, in the pictures I attached. We also ordered tea. I recommend smelling all the teas in the shop before you decide on which one to order, as they all sound delectable. The tartes were amazing. So we'll prepared. The Yuzu was both of our favorites, but the Jardin D'Eden, a pistachio confectionery, was in no way bad, we just preferred the Yuzu, mint and lemon confit, and the hazelnut crunchy layer. When we come been, and we definitely plan on coming back, we're going to get another Yuzu and try a different tarte for tarte number two for next time.

There's an option to pick a box or tin and fill it the cookies of your choice. The waffles themselves are something I can make at home and save the €15. I ordered the basic powdered sugar waffle, liege style. My husband ordered the Belgian style waffle which was topped with macerated strawberries and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Again, the waffle and strawberries weren't warm so it was like eating a dry stale cold waffle with cold strawberries and a scoop of ice cream. Disappointing to say the least. I'd pass on this place and stick with the street vendors where you can watch them make it in front of your eyes and served warm.

We wanted to pick up a couple little treats for Sunday and decided to see what they had. The shop was overflowing with goodies! There were so many different things to choose from, including tartes, eclairs, chocolate, croissants, and because it's Easter time, a bunch of chocolate eggs. We went with a Mango Yuzu tarte, as well as a Vanilla creme one with frangipane and caramel. The crunching suprise of discovering the chocolate shell on the mango Yuzu, to the utter deliciousness of the caramel in the vanilla cream one really blew us away. Not to mention the price point. Two delicious patisseries for less than 10€. Can't wait to go back!

Nicolas Arnaud delivers beautifully decorated, delightfully good and democratically priced…read morepastries, cakes and other sweet treats that stand out as some of the very best in town. A classically trained French pastry chef, he worked with some of Belgium's biggest names before opening shop in the fashionable Châtelain quarter of Brussels. If passing by, as I did the first time I came across this place, you'll be brought to a standstill when you glance upon the gorgeous creations showcased behind the large old-fashioned bay window. Don't be too surprised, Nicolas Arnaud is a regular at international competition and a master-crafter when it comes to decorating cakes. Inside you'll be greeted by the smell of fresh bakes and friendly advice from staff. It is a small display space but there is a lot to choose from with a continuous to and from the neighboring kitchen. I'd recommend you dig into an éclair au chocolat or other choux pastry. I'm also quite fond of their little biscuits and meringues, perfect for coffee dipping. Prices are of course a little higher than at your local bakery but still very reasonable when you consider what you get. For Christmas this year I ordered my 'Buche de Noel' from here and was happy to pay 33 euros for a 6 person 'Bûche Rubis' containing a light and delicate raspberry mousse, vanilla pannacotta, blackcurrent jelly and almond dacquoise. A fair price for something that looked and tasted as good as this. It was in a league of its own compared to similarly priced Bûche that I tried over the festive period. On a practical note it is also a good address for your own personalized cakes, be it for an anniversary, marriage, or other reception - both private and professional. A must try if you're looking for a special sweet treat.

The pastries look magical, glittering with different colors. Sits perfectly in with the surrounding architecture. The shop keeper was very nice and efficient.
