As a celiac, I was so glad that I was able to have a Belgian waffle while visiting Brussels…read more Service was quick and I watched the woman who took my order make my waffle in the iron. I got a plain waffle which was both automatically gluten-free and vegan. It was filling and stayed piping hot the entire time I walked around in the cold. It tasted nice without any toppings whatsoever. I'd definitely stop by again if I were in Brussels. Visited: December 2025

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.

We were able to buy beer at the bar, ate Indian, Vietnamese, Syrian, and Mediterranean during our visits. The Indian and Mediterranean were our favorites. They have burgers, tacos, sushi, bao buns, a dessert shop, and many more options. My dinner each night was around €16 including beer. It's not your typical fast food either. The food tastes great and is casual enough that you don't feel rushed.

If you prefer a more relaxed experience, I highly recommend visiting on a weekday--it's much more comfortable to walk around and explore the stalls. They offer free Wi-Fi, which is a nice plus. I really liked TOUKOUL. It was my first time trying Ethiopian and their Afro Bowl a good variety of color, textures, and flavors. It felt very blanked and delicious. Definitely worth visiting this spot in Brussels for a group or a quick, good meal!

He reminded us of a combination of Neil Fak (from The Bear) and Lazlow (from What We Do in the Shadows). He was coordinating the line, seating, and gave outstanding recommendations, as well as praise, when we picked our wine. We were quoted about 45 minutes to wait, as they don't take reservations. A two-top opened up inside and Julian was concerned that it would be too hot, so he made me go inside to check first. Thankfully, it was right by the open area leading to outside, so we took it and were seated in about 20 minutes, rather than 45. The place was packed the entire time we were there; its reputation certainly precedes it. Good energy and beautifully decorated with stunning art inside. Carbonades a la Biere (beef stew; 19.45 Euros) is their speciality and was delicious! So reasonably priced for the flavor and te size of the dish! After Julian mentioned that the lamb is the best dish on the menu, there was no question that I was ordering it. Jarret d'Agneau Roti (Roasted Lamb Shank; 27.35 Euros) was so very good! Full of Rosemary and so tender! As Julian was running by, I quickly asked him: "Tiramisu or Tarte Tatin?" No hesitation, he replied, "Tarte Tatin." I wasn't sure if he actually put the order in for us or not, but then it arrived at our table and it was delicious! Pear Tarte (8.65 Euros) with a side of ice cream. Not too sweet, with lovely spices in the pears. Cash only, always a line, but totally worth it!

The waffle was somehow gummy and oily at the same time, and it was served on a small board that - with the runny yolk situation and piled spinach - made an absolute mess on the table and ground beneath. Last, the avocado was massively brown and was served anyway - we didn't complain or send it back mostly because we had a time limit, but I was unpleasantly surprised at their standard of fare
