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.

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.

They don't always have all items on the menu. A minus if you're craving something in particular but a plus because you know the ingredients are fresh. Their BLT waffle sandwich is yummyyyyyy. I was not sure when I ordered it but since they didn't have Cowgirl sandwich, I decided BLT was my second choice (probably their most popular one too). I'm glad, it did not disappoint. Their pumpkin cupcake, awesome. As well as their carrot cake and red velvet cake. My friend's chai latte was not that great but my cappuccino was very pleasing.

Staff are attentive and run around with a fury to keep up with the clientele coming and going. The menu is extensive but we settled on each having a Waffle Gravensteen which comes with chocolate sauce, blueberries. vanilla ice cream and a red (red fruit coulis) topping sauce on the ice cream. We accompanied that with a warm chocolate milk drink. Both were purely amazing, although the waffle was a bit crunchy compared to others I have tried. The atmosphere is vibrant and fun, and you'll get a good dessert fix, best for an afternoon treat. It appears to primarily cater to tourists, yet they seem to keep the quality good. There's nothing better than a snack of waffles and chocolate!

However, I wasn't all that keen on having just tea I preferred a coffee, so that is what I ended up grabbing, and not surprisingly it was, like most (though not all), coffee shops, really good. They even had an outdoor area out the back, though the main part of the cafe was the inside, and they also did a variety of dishes. However, they also were more than happen for me to simply come in and have a coffee out the back. Okay, they were a little slow, but since there were quite a few people here (particularly since this place is pretty popular, and highly rated).

The remainder is given over to two main rooms for the cafe. Cafe Max is buzzing with traditionally clad waiters who whisk past in a flurry of aprons and silver jugs. The menu is extensive, offering mostly afternoon treats such as beignets, waffles, pancakes and icecream sundaes. Each comes in an array of permutations: with avocaat, strawberries, fruit salad, cream, chocolate sauce and jam (well, the pancakes come with jam). In addition there are lots of fruit and flavoured teas, coffees and other drinks. Service is quick and efficient, and afternoon tea here is a fine treat. Now that the exchange rate against the Euro has worsened, it's not a cheap experience, but still highly worthwhile. You may need to tackle a fair few cobbled street afterwards to work off the calories.

Atmosphere: Le Funambule appears to be a waffle shop popular among tourists, and admittedly, we…read morewere drawn to the shop due to its colorful display of waffles and inviting smells. Inside, the shop is small, only able to fit a line of patrons. You'll also find a statue of the Mannekin Pis statue eating a waffle! Service: The person who made our waffle helped explain the differences between their menu items and made our waffle swiftly! Though she forgot the strawberries at first, she was apologetic and quick to correct her mistake. Food: We ordered the strawberries and cream waffle (#14). Our plate was overflowing with whipped cream, white chocolate drizzle, and strawberry toppings. This made the waffle a bit difficult to eat, but it was delicious nonetheless! We thought that the balance of toppings was good, even with the large portions. Overall: For the price, Le Funambule offered a decently sized waffle. As it was quite sweet, we would especially recommend their waffles to someone who has a big sweet tooth!

We had never eaten here before, but from just looking through the window, it seemed like the best place to find good waffles. Our instincts were spot on!! My husband and I ordered different waffles so we could both get to taste two flavors. Both flavors were absolutely delicious. It's hard to find words to say how good they were. We didn't want to stop eating them. Our new companions seemed to agree with us. They were all smiles at having stuck with us as we scrambled to find the shop while needing to catch a train to leave town by a certain time. The service could have been better -- but after the first bite of their waffles, I stopped caring about service.
