    I don't believe I've ever had a Belgian waffle-- so while I was in Brussels, it was a must to try. I saw several places in the area selling it but the ratings here were high and I ventured here. The line was very long-- which moved very quickly. With the suggestion from the employee, I went with the Liege waffle because I was not going to eat right away and I feared it would become soggy. I ate the waffle a couple hours later and it was excellent. I also had a Latte, which was just okay. However, I was here for the waffle and it definitely did not disappoint!

    I loved this place! It's right in the heart of the city with great views of the Grand Place. We ordered waffles and coffee, and everything was excellent, I still think about those waffles sometimes lol, they were that good. The self-service setup was quick and efficient, and our order was ready in no time. Overall, definitely a must-visit if you're in Brussels.

    We visiting on a Tuesday in the late afternoon. We waited about 10 minutes to be able to sit upstairs. If it wasn't for the rain we would have ordered to go or eat in their outdoor seating area. If you dine in, the menu prices increases a bit. Bathroom is located in the basement and doesn't look like a purchase is necessary. We ordered a liege waffle with a scoop of speculoos ice cream at 5:06pm and it came to our table at 5:14pm. The outer edges of the waffle was crispy while the rest of it was soft and chewy. Powdered sugar was placed under the waffle as opposed to it being dusted. With the speculoos ice cream it was a bit too sweet for us. Best to be enjoyed with tea or coffee. Total was 8.50 euro and they accept credit cards. Supposedly there's WiFi but when asked for the password the staff didn't know it.

    This is the best waffle place. Be prepared for a line that moves quick and then join the others eating their waffle standing up as there is little seating around. It's worth it. We got the Belgian waffle-light and crispy-with cooked strawberries and whipped cream and hazelnuts. It would have been perfect if the waffle was warm. It was still delicious. We went back again at night and they sold out!

    Maison Dandoy has a lot of hype around it in Brussels! We ran here as our first stop in town, and it was amazing. They have a huge menu of waffles to choose from - it was really hard to make a decision. We sat upstairs for a while waiting for service and no one ever came over, so we ended up ordering ours to go and ate it outside. I think they would improve on the customer service, but the food really makes up for it. We definitely recommend checking it out - and order something fun!

    I thought I didn't like Belgium waffles, but after going to Maison Dandoy two days in a row, it turns out that I just don't like American Belgium waffles. The Belgium waffles at Maison Dandoy are super light and airy - not at all like the thick bready waffles that I'm used to getting at home. The waffles are made to order and the strawberry with ice cream topping is the fantastic.

    Maison Dandoy is an established Belgian Waffle shop that has been making it for over 100 years as the mecca for desserts in Brussels. Maybe it's me. Perhaps I expected more from this dessert shop; unfortunately, I was NOT overly impressed. Also, we were limited on items we could order - either they ran out of the material or were unavailable. What we ordered: (2) LIEGE WAFFLES with POWDERED SUGAR and BROWN SUGAR - I don't recall Belgian Waffles being so sweet and overly baked. Luckily, it wasn't all for me, so I didn't have to finish it or feel like it would be a waste. Seats were minimal, and the only table available for us was the one without any chairs. The trash bin was filled to the brim, so we looked elsewhere to throw our trash.

    We asked to keep the strawberry and whip cream only on the other half... voila!

    Good Waffles and accommodating crew! Coffee is amazing. This place is a must try when you're in Brussels.

    Hubby and I visited on our honeymoon and ALMOST got divorced (hehe I joke) fighting over the last few bites. Give yourself time to sit back, relax, people watch and enjoy the most delicious waffle you've ever eaten. The hot chocolate was the richest, thickest, yummiest hot coco I've ever had. I'm not to leave leftover desserts but neither of us could finish our coco. Maybe 1 to share next time

    Alright, so here's the deal. That whole thing about where to get the best waffles in town? Yeah it's here. But. And this is a big BUT, it's important to know a could things before going and about how and what to order. First off, there's two types of waffles in Belgium, the Brussels waffle, and a Liège waffle. They're very different. So before we go any further, here's some things you need to know about ordering a waffle. * If your in the area you'll have noticed the numerous other waffle shops. Are they bad ? No. Are they as well known? No. They're cheaper, sure. You'll see signs for 1€ waffles all around, but the dough is all industrial premade and shipped in. I wouldn't say much care has gone into them. They can often be inconsistent. * Want all the toppings? Order them on a Brussels waffle. They're light, crunchy, fluffy and what most tourists think of as Belgian waffles. * The Liège waffles should be eaten as they are. They're more sugary, not rectangular, and gooey. * Is it worth the long wait in line? In my opinion, for a Brussels waffle? Yes. And there you have it, if your looking for the best Brussels waffle in Brussels. This is the place. They're constant. The toppings are nice. They look gorgeous. For me, I usually just get mine with powdered surger, comes standard, but you can't go wrong if you're gonna load up with strawberries and chocolate sauce. In my opinion tho, there a better spot of Liège waffles.

    No whipped cream,  no place to sit,  opened late.

    Not a good experience here. I showed up a few minutes early and lined up at the door so I can get a fresh waffle. I open the door exactly at 9:30 am and was told that it would be a few more minutes. Five minutes later the doors opened and I was excited to order a waffle. What do I see? A mound of pre-made waffles...that was why they opened late to sell pre-made waffles. I went to order my three topping Belgian waffle and there was no whipped cream. Not a perfect start to the day. Anyway, I paid 8 euros for a pre-made waffle with no whipped cream. I went to grab napkins, plastic fork and a plastic knife and tried to head upstairs to the Tea Room and got yelled at to "Take and Go." I asked for a counter space and again was yelled at to "Take and Go." I went outside and felt like an asshole with no place to eat my waffle. Clearly this was a knife and fork job with the waffle toppings (pie cherries, strawberry ice cream and caramel sauce). I did the best I could eating on a street corner. The food was OK, price was high and the service was terrible. Fuck this place. One star.

    We were on the hunt for Belgian hot chocolate in the neighborhood near the Manneken Pis statue. We walked in one of the (many) chocolatiers on the block, and we were recommended to go down the street to Maison Dandoy for the best hot chocolate in Belgium. Impressed with such a resounding review, we walked about two minutes down the block and found this shop. We were there at about 10am, so there were not a lot of crowds yet. We walked straight in and only had to wait behind one other customer. I wish I could tell you that I bought a waffle, because they looked awesome. But we stuck to our hot chocolate mission. The hot chocolate came with a little gingerbread cookie that was very tasty, but the hot chocolate itself was fantastic. Definitely one of, if not the best hot chocolate I've ever had. Highly recommend!

    I passed by this waffle/stroopwaffel cafe and decided to try it out based on the amount of people that were in line. I waited about 15 minutes until I got to order, which was a regular waffle with powdered sugar and vanilla ice cream. Inside the shop looked very aesthetically pleasing and they had a tea room upstairs. For 7 euros, this waffle was just as amazing as I was expecting. The waffle was crispy on the outside and chewy on the outside. The waffle had an incredibly rich dairy taste. The hotness of the freshly made waffle combined with the chill and sweetness from the vanilla ice cream made it absolutely delicious. Best of all, this was a giant waffle compared to other places in the area Overall, this was one of the best waffles I've ever eaten. There are a few waffle joints nearby that are a bit cheaper, but this one tops them with its taste and size. If I am ever back in the area, I will be back for more

This location is at the center of a lot of the major tourist attractions and is therefore great if you're looking for a quick, on-the-go breakfast or lunch without having to sit down (though that is still an option). Panos is a chain bakery/sandwich shop and was recommended by one of the aunties. Stuff you can find here includes sandwiches, wraps, soups, sweet and savory pastries, individual loaves and rolls, salads, coffee, and hot chocolate. Super basic, but high-quality stuff compared to a lot of other chain bakery places we saw as we traveled through Europe. Some of those sweet pastries were just really fancy looking for what's supposed to apparently be a very basic place, while even the basic stuff tasted really delicious. Their croissants were also super delicious, and I thought the raspberry croissant was particularly interesting. This particular location is on the street branching just off Grote Markt (Grand Place) and just across from the Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert's southern entrance. It was near where we were supposed to meet up with our tour group, so we dropped by very quickly to grab some breakfast. My chief memory of that morning was that their waffle honestly made me feel better about the first half of the day.

Open from Wednesday to Monday at 07h00, the location on Fernand Cocq Square in the heart of Ixelles providing ample foot traffic, Larent grew up in his uncle's Bakery before studying in Paris to perfect everything from Sourdough to Choux and Viennoiserie.

Some standout items I love: baguette savoyard de lardon, oignon, et fromage (savory baguette with bacon, onion, and cheese), morning bun, gaufre (waffle), pain au chocolat et amandes (chocolate and almond croissant), among others! Really, it's tough to go wrong with any of the offerings here and everyone we've brought to try this spot has returned at least once, considering they're only here for 2-3 days! There are days when the line is out the door, but it moves quickly and it's so worth it!
