Waffles are the signature dessert of Belgium, originating with a recipe from the Middle Ages when waffles were sold as unleavened crisp cakes made of barley and oats baked in a wafer iron. The Brussels waffle (one of two types of waffles in Belgium) is what is universally known as the Belgian waffle.

Located near Grand Place Square, Maison Dandoyhas been in business since 1829. The shop serves an array of Belgian treats, including Belgian waffles topped with chocolate, whipped cream, or sugar.
