    Simply Dandoy & Latte w/ oat milk
    Rose Leah L.

    I just arrived in Brussels. I decided to try some famous Belgian waffles & a latte at Maison Dandoy. It was one of the places that was on my list before I arrived, and the hotel concierge at Pillows City Hotel also recommended it. I've never been a huge fan of waffles, but I am now!! The waffle itself is yummy. It's lightly crispy on the outside but very delicate & still soft inside. The Simply Dandoy waffle is amazingly delicious!! It is topped with Speculoos spread, Speculoos ice cream & crunchy crushed Speculoos. I also had a latte w/ oat milk, which was very good. It came with a cute little cube of brown sugar & a small Speculoos cookie.... Nice addition. The interior is very cute & nicely decorated. All of the servers are nice. I definitely want to come back next time I visit Brussels again, but I might also come back again within my 3 nights stay on this trip! There's so many delicious waffles joints I have yet to try though.

    Brussels waffle with chocolate and strawberries, americano
    Sonya H.

    Cute and delicious waffle shop! I visited Brussels for a quick weekend trip at the tail end of a longer European tour and almost forgot to get a Belgian waffle before heading back home. Thankfully, Maison Dandoy was there to save the day -- they're open quite early (including before my early flight), have a great spread of waffles and cookies (perfect for a last-minute souvenir or gift), and were able to give me my caffeine fix. It trends a bit expensive, but it's within reason for such a touristy part of town, and the variety of options, friendly service, and other conveniences make up for it. I got a classic Brussels waffle with chocolate sauce and marinated strawberries. The waffle was perfectly thin, light, and airy, with a slight crunch / crispness on the outside but the most delightfully fluffy center. The toppings certainly made it sweeter, but the waffle itself has a lovely subtle sweetness. The chocolate sauce was super rich and smooth -- to be expected from Brussels -- and I loved the pop of acidity from the strawberries, although they did amp up the waffle's sweetness quite a bit. I can't imagine this waffle in its typical form (also with vanilla ice cream) and how sweet that would be, but this was within a comfortable range for me, especially when paired with an americano. I'd definitely recommend sharing with someone; the waffles don't look large but definitely get to be a lot with how sweet they are and how rich some of the toppings are.

    What's not to love?! Great coffee and nice waffles with any level of extravagant topping - I was in sugar heaven. Sure, people had steered us away from here due to the touristy and over-the-top nature but sometimes that's what you want! The spot on the corner was excellent people-watching as we sat outside as well. The waffle was scrumptious - we got the one with biscoff - and I have no complaints

    Nice decaf cappuccino The leige waffle was delicious. At least I thought so. Hubby didn't like the texture with the Carmelized bits in the dough. This should only be topped with some powdered sugar.

    Atomium waffle
    Shruti J.

    Atomium waffle was absolutely brilliant! Best waffle I have ever had!! Right amount of crunch and chocolate sauce. Their waffle was light and just perfect! Epitome of Belgian waffles Id say as a tourist! Came here twice for the atomium! And while I loved their waffle, I was disappointed with their hot chocolate. Recommend their waffles for sure.

    Oh my goodness. I made a point to stop in here during my pre-trip research for Brussels. We were checking out the gallery anyway and there was no time like the present. We were with my parents who wanted something remotely nutritious for lunch and that they were not going to get at Maison Dandoy. We dropped them off at Le Pain and were luckily able to snag one of the "outside" tables at Dandoy. The service was no frills but simple and prompt. To drink, I ordered a matcha and GF their house beer something cookies. Ok, ok, I'll get to the part you actually care about: the WAFFLES. We wanted a little variety so we ordered both a brussels and a liege waffle. On our brussels waffle, we went with their crushed speculoos topping, caramel sauce, and a scoop of ice cream. For the liege waffle, we ordered the one with the strawberries, whipped cream, and chocolate sauce. Both were ORGASMIC. Pure ecstasy. You don't need drugs if you have these waffles. They have completely ruined waffles for me. I can never have a waffle again if it isn't in Belgium, preferably at this place. It's very sad, actually. Please excuse me while I take a moment to enjoy that memory.

    Who doesn't friggin love hot fresh waffle action? Service with a smile, and speedy as can happen when things are fresh made. It is a super busy spot so plan ahead and come prepared to wait for golden goodness. Pro tip - take away is fastest and easiest!

    Grand Place's Classic
    Helen H.

    When in Belgium, I had to get a Belgian waffle. Thankfully there wasn't a line. There is a small area for sitting inside and there's also tables outside. I stood at the counter for a while and no one acknowledged me- annoyed. I ordered the "Queen's Favorite." But then I was later told they ran out of strawberries. I went with the "Grand Place's Classic" instead. I liked the light and crispy waffle with the vanilla ice cream. By the way, if you choose to eat there it's an extra euro.

    Speculoos, strawberries and vanilla ice cream!

    Maison Dandoy was one of the places I've bookmarked before our visit to Belgium. Luckily, we stumbled by it randomly. My hubs and I had a double espresso with their Belgian waffle with speculoos spread, strawberries and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It's more than enough for two people to share and a sweet indulgence. It was such a pretty treat to look at and the area of this indoor plaza was beautiful as well. We sat alongside the rail drinking our coffee and enjoying each other's company. So pleasant overall. They also had different sizes of tote bags. I got both the small and large size as a souvenir. They are durable, inexpensive and super cute!

    Brussels waffles with Hot Chocolate
    Vivienne C.

    This is one of the most famous waffle places in Brussels so I was pretty excited to try it out and find out what's the difference between regular waffles and Belgian waffles. Apparently you can just sit down inside or outside and service will come to your table which is surprising to me because they didn't have that many waiters around. True to their word, they did come take my order in an extremely timely manner. I ordered the Brussels waffles with Hot Chocolate and I thought it was very okay. The waffle itself was very crispy on the outside but didn't actually have a ton of flavor. The hot chocolate did help but I felt like there could have been more chocolate and the chocolate could have been more runny, kind of like Spanish hot chocolate. The powdered sugar brought a slight bit of sweetness but not that much. I don't know, I just thought this dish to be incredibly standard. Overall, I thought the waffles were very okay. Not sure if its good or memorable enough to come back. Honestly, I should probably try the cookies the next time I'm here because that's the other thing that they are known for.

    BEST WAFFLE IN THE WORLD!!! Omg you must go here. I am not joking. It was heavenly. Got a belgium waffle with chocolate, strawberries, and whipped cream. Thought I'd have to cut the waffle like all other waffles I've had but OMG I BARELY DID. This waffle is other worldly. It breaks easily. It's so light but very flavorful. I cannot even describe how perfect it is. Please just try a waffle from them!! You will not be disappointed. Do not go to the other stands. Come here!!!! Workers knows English as well. Order at register if you want to take out. Sit yourself if you want to eat in & they'll come take your order and deliver your food. It's a very cute shop as well and they have other items for purchase.

    My 3 friends and I visited on a Tuesday morning and were able to find seats within 10 minutes. I'd recommend this place to anyone trying a Belgian waffle for the first time who wants a sit-down experience, but I will say that their options are limited in terms of toppings, and while they do what they do very well, picky eaters may have a tough time with most of their toppings. My friends and I all enjoyed our waffles, though, and they were pretty fairly priced for central Brussels. Our drinks were delicious too, and one of my friends doing her expresso to be the best in Europe so far. The restaurant was adorable as well, and the staff were super sweet, so overall, while I personally wouldn't go out of my way for their food again, I'd recommend it to first-timers as a reliable and delicious option.

    Very good waffles, a little expensive, but delish. Best to keep it simple - Brussels with caramel butter is the best.
