The ambience of this location really makes it special. I was really looking for a Hallmark movie themed experience and starting here was perfect. My waffle was scrumptious and a great start to the day. Highly recommend.

The reviews of Maison Dandoy are mixed and while I wanted to like it, I thought it was just okay…read more I enjoyed their front room the most where they sold cookies, crackers, chocolate, totes, and gifts. 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.

While walking around the area in search of gifts for family, we stumbled upon this cozy and classy…read morelittle tea shop. The tea shop appears to be family owned and both the wife and husband were extremely kind and helpful. The wife helped us pick tea, speaking a little English, and was very encouraging towards our own attempts at French. In addition to buying tea to go, we also had a cup on the spot. The tea was great and the environment was warm and relaxing, with jazz music playing in the background. Lastly, the store has a nice selection of different Belgian sweets (chocolate, cookies, etc.) from other businesses if tea is, well, not your cup of tea. Overall, this tea house is an amazing gem nestled in a rather busy and occasionally touristy area that should not be missed.

It should have been 5 stars for me especially that I have been here for quite a few times and even…read moreordered dozens of dozens of cupcakes for my birthday! Unfortunately today, my 5 stars lost 3 of them due to : - overly priced cupcake and drinks (15€ for two cappuccino and 2 cupcakes not even served at our table) - the rudeness of the server & his lack of hospitality that changed right after his boss arrived (server is the skinny little guy) - urged us to order because someone was waiting behind us Common guys you're selling cupcakes which should bring happiness for the tummy and smile for the face of the customers !!! P.S. The owners (two ladies) were far more cheerful and enjoying serving their customers. Please re-educate your staff !!! We went on Saturday the 9th of December around 3pm.

I went back yesterday, and the music was very loud, not the kind of music you play in a place where people eat, drink coffee, or work. I couldn't eat inside, so I ate outside. The food was not what I had ordered. Please ask for all the ingredients when you order your food. The fruit in my order was frozen, and I couldn't eat it. I asked someone who was working there if they could microwave it. The person laughed (or appeared to laugh) and told me it was supposed to be like that. I said I couldn't eat it like this and that I didn't want to waste food. She did not respond. I was left with my food and had to throw it away. The staff does not make you feel welcome and talks back in an unfriendly way.

A nice person saw three hungry looking ladies and was so kind to take us in, even the the restaurant was about to close. I took the chicken while the others took the goat meat and let me tell you! Everything that an African restaurant should be in my opinion: classy, super tasty. They had this powder pepper that uplifted the meal without being too strong. To this day I'm looking for that pepper. The waiter completely accommodated us. The kitchen is open so we saw how our food was being made. The meats were melting in our mouths. So well seasoned! I loved the presentation! You could see that they put thought into it and it just appealed to my visual mind. Honestly, you can't do wrong with this restaurant. Did I mention the interior? It's everything my interior design loving self loves!

We ordered the Classic Brussels waffle and the Simply Brussels waffle. After the first bite, it was easy to see why this place is so popular. I've never had a waffle this light, crispy, and airy before. I loved the Classic, topped with rich chocolate sauce and a scoop of ice cream. My friend went with the Simply, topped with cinnamon crumbles and a scoop of ice cream. What impressed me the most was the texture. Every bite was the perfect combination of warm waffle, rich chocolate, and cold ice cream. Even until the very last bite, the waffle stayed light and crispy without becoming soggy. That's not something you find very often, and it made the experience even more memorable. Yum! :p

I tend to like the lighter crispy style waffle so I really liked the brussels style waffle. I wouldn't recommend putting too many wet toppings on the brussels waffle since it gets soggy pretty quick. Lieges waffle has sugar in the dough so it is a bit sweet and the dough almost tastes like a croissant dough. They made our waffle to order, piping hot and fresh. Pay extra for seating but there's some standing tables outside.
