So after waiting in a queue for about 30 mins for a waffle the staff were very rude to me because I was waiting and she gave my waffle to someone else. When I questioned her she told me it was my fault for not being more visible?!? And the Brussels waffle wasn’t amazing! More crispy than fluffy. Go somewhere else, no point waiting for ages for rubbish horrible series and a mediocre waffle.

I ate waffles with my friends during Christmas holidays. We paid for one waffle too much, which was a mistake made by the staff. We asked for our money back, but the staff said they couldn't give it back in the restaurant. We had to send an email via their website, and they promised we would get our money back within 2 working days. They even signed our bill as a guarentee. However, it's February now and I still haven't received my money. BAD SERVICE!

Unfriendly welcome and prices that have become exorbitant
The price per kilo of speculoos and other Greek breads is close to that of roast Choralais beef.
Loyal since my childhood to this brand which is a real institution in Brussels, I am today by the lack of friendliness of sometimes embittered staff and above all by indecent prices. The lure of profit will cause them to lose many customers and that’s a shame.

Maison Dandoy is a Speculoos cookie specialist with a history that dates back to 1829. They have a handful of branches around Brussels including this place along Rue au Beurre near Grand Palace. Opening hours are 10am to 7pm daily.
We stopped by during a recent visit to Brussels and picked up a bag of speculoos biscuits to enjoy in our hotel room. Enjoyed the plain, covered with dark chocolate and the pain d'amandes as well. These were all good to have with a cup of coffee back in our home.
Have enjoyed Dandoy purchases during the past couple trips through Brussels. Will very likely stop here again during future visits to the city to enjoy their speculoos biscuits.

Slow, unfriendly welcome, card arrived 15 minutes after installation. Order taken 30 minutes later... Waffle without much interest, from now on the chocolate is served directly on the waffle and not separately as before.
It is not possible to have a glass of water, you must order a bottle of water.
Worth the detour for the dry cakes that's all.

The cookies I bought were among my favorite I bought in Brussels. To be honest, I avoided the other locations because the lines were a little too daunting and ridiculous for me. If you're not dying for one of their waffles, go to the Rue au Buerre store for quicker service. I loved the little sayings on some of the products - they made me chuckle and I loved that they were in English. My French isn't good enough to understand all of the jokes.

This was THE experience I’m taking away from Brussels. Like waffles? Look nowhere else.
It was recommended by my tour guide and we decided to explore it.
Although the prices are on higher side but the experience is worth every penny. The quality is impeccable. The icecream flavours are limited but boy they’re awesome.
Full marks for hygiene, taste, quality and hospitality.

My husband and I visited for breakfast and each got our own Brussels style waffle and coffee and they were delicious! The taste was amazing, but the only downside for me is that with all the toppings piled onto the waffle, it can get a little soggy. Definitely go as close to opening as possible because they get busy fast!

Plenty of places to get waffles but we chose here MD is a chain and there are a number of outlets around the city
Lots of different toppings and combinations depending how much you want to indulge
A little on the pricy side for the Brits but had to be done and tried

Do they have also lactose free waffles/gaufres?
