If you're ever in Belgium (on holiday or business), and you're feeling adventurous enough to roam…read moreoutside of Brussels, then the city of Mechelen hosts a wealth of food establishments, with Dame Blanche being closest to my own heart. Run by an Asian family (who speak some of the best Flemish that I've heard from non-Belgians), the food on offer here is simple yet sensational. Their special of apple strudel with ice cream and coffee for just 5 Euro isn't to be missed, and you'll want more when it's gone. Their broodjes met kipcurry (bread rolls with chicken curry) are mouth-watering, and like nothing you've tasted before. The interior is old-fashioned by today's standards (picture the tea rooms of the 70s and 80s and you'll have a fair idea of what to expect here), but it's a sure thing that you won't be disappointed when you visit. Fantastic!!

Our tower of tea treats were all displayed perfectly and described in detail. I don't know about tea - tea is gross, but they make one hell of cup of coffee. A five star high tea in a comfortable and welcoming environment. We hope to return with our family.

There were reserved signs on some tables when no one was in there. It didn't seem like it got busy either so not sure who those were reserved for. They don't have a ton of food options here but I will say they have the beat pies I ate in Maastricht. Even better than the bakeries we visited. Whoever made them has hands of gold. Come relax and have a tea/coffee and pie here. Sooo good and inexpensive.

I had a really nice experience here, they have a roof terrace which is kind of hidden but lovely to…read moresit on. I did not have tea but they have a very large tea selection on their menu. I had a good cappuccino and the savory waffle with pulled chicken and dressing. The waffle was kind of cold and the seasoning of the pulled chicken was not the best but overall it was still good and a nice experience. Something you would not be able to eat at every restaurant. I would like to emphasize that it is quite cheap for what you get. I also tried some of their cookies and they taste amazing. So can highly recommend coming here for tea and cookies!

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.

After lunch, we were craving something sweet, so we came here to try their hot chocolate. We…read moreordered three different flavors. The concept is very interesting, they serve the chocolate separately, and you add it to a cup of hot milk and stir it yourself. The first floor is a chocolate shop where you can browse and purchase a variety of chocolates, while the café is upstairs on the second floor. They also have outdoor seating if you prefer to enjoy your drink outside. The ambience is warm, cozy, and inviting, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a chocolate break. The service was a bit slow, but it was definitely worth the wait. Overall, the Costa Rica hot chocolate was our favorite. It was slightly sweet with a light creamy taste. The Hazelnut Praline was much too sweet for our liking, and the Ecuador wasn't as smooth as the Costa Rica. We enjoyed the Costa Rica chocolate so much that we ended up taking home four bags. It was the perfect souvenir and a delicious reminder of our visit. :)
