This little place is a bit hidden away down a side street. It is both a patisserie shop and a tea room/restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating on a terrace. We came for lunch and had a nice meal which was good value. However, the real reason we had come was to sample the waffles, and they didn't disappoint! They... More

Located in a small side street near the Minnewater this is a good spot for afternoon tea and cakes. Not cheap but worth the money. Olde worlde interior, massive chandelier, very atmospheric. More

I wanted some authentic Belgium waffles, not that touristy stuff you find from street vendors or anything. So thanks to my brother and his wife they knew THE place for good waffles. It was packed full but we found a table in the outdoor garden area (which was covered and heated thank goodness considering it was December and about 25... More

Perfect cakes, very touristy, crowded, bustling but you couldn't complain about the quality of the pastries and tea. A good hidewaway for a rest and some indulgence. More

We had breakfast there with a voucher we received from relatives. The "Bongo bon" voucher costs 50€ for 2 and what we had was certainly not so much worth. The room was noisy & overcrowded. We got a lot to eat but if you like continental breakfast you won't be satisfied. Same story here, we should receive 1 glass of... More

Champagne breakfast - worth every penny. What a delight. Food was superb and all served in a wonderful little courtyard. Crossaints, pastries, specialtiy rolls all served with meats, cheese, smoked salmon and even a boiled egg. Tea or coffee both served with an extra treat. Fruits and yoghurts. Champagne and orange juice - so much food we had to take... More

The breakfast in this pretty tea-room is good, if on the pricy side - but for a special treat the 'Special Coffee' can't be beaten. Not cheap at 9 Euros - but you get a pot of coffee (or tea if you prefer) with the usual accompaniment of a piece of cake and a chocolate - and then a prettily... More

Lovely tea room attached to a bakery/patisserie. Service was a little frosty at first but overall a good place to stop and rest your tired feet while sampling some of the delicious cakes etc. on offer. More
