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.
