A Gourmet Stroll in Lille: Discovering Méert Waffles
In Lille, the waffle is not just a sweet treat—it’s a true institution. We all know Liège or Brussels waffles, but Lille’s waffles are well worth the detour too, especially when it comes to the legendary waffles from Maison Méert.
A Taste Journey Through Time
Since 1849, Maison Méert, nestled in the heart of Old Lille at 27 rue Esquermoise, has delighted taste buds with its oval-shaped waffle—thin, soft, and generously filled with a Madagascar vanilla cream. This recipe, passed down through generations, remains unchanged, preserving a truly unique craftsmanship. The shop itself is a gem, listed as a historic monument, where gilding and woodwork transport you to a bygone era.
