The BXLOVE practical guide
Visiting La Maison des Gaufres in Brussels
La Maison des Gaufres welcomes you at two locations near the Grand-Place. This BXLOVE guide helps you choose between a tea-room break and a shop visit, then find the useful contact details.
Marché aux Herbes: tea room and shop
The tea room is at Rue du Marché aux Herbes 109–111, 1000 Brussels. Choose this location to sit down and take your time. Published telephone number: +32 2 779 14 46.
Charles Buls: the shop
The second shop is at Rue Charles Buls 10, 1000 Brussels. It complements the house’s offering in the historic city centre. Published telephone number: +32 2 721 13 85.
1982 and 2025: two different dates
The official history mentions a tea room opened in 1982 and later taken over by Antoine Akayyan. It does not date that takeover. Today’s La Maison des Gaufres opened in early 2025: the place’s heritage and the opening of this new house therefore have different dates.
Before you set off
Both locations’ opening hours appear on this website’s home page with the date they were checked. For public holidays, special requests or a private room, contact the house directly. A request is not a confirmed reservation.
Your questions before visiting
Which location should I choose for the tea room?
Choose Marché aux Herbes, at 109–111. The shop is at number 10 on Rue Charles Buls.
Can I request a private room?
The house offers private rooms on request. The team must confirm conditions and availability before any reservation.
