Les Merveilleux de Fred 

Unmissable in Lille. The Merveilleux is a pastry made with cream and meringue, available in different flavors: speculoos, white chocolate, caramel, cherry... Absolutely delicious!

The Little Pouchins of the Ogre of Carrouselberg

If you don't know this wonder (and believe us, you HAVE to taste it), it is a small crispy cream puff, with a rectangular shape, filled with a light vanilla and orange blossom cream. A true delight!

A Freakshake from Wally's Coffee

The Freakshake is a concept straight from Australia. It's a huge milkshake topped with a maximum of delicious food like brownie, waffle, whipped cream, cookie, peanuts, ice cream, hazelnuts, and of course, cream or sauce...

A cheeky Shortbread

The most iconic cake in this gourmet tea room! The recipe? "Shortbread pastry, creamy caramel, crunchy chocolate, a few peanuts for an appetizer and snack all in one."

A waffle from Méert

A classic of Flemish gastronomy! With a secret recipe that has been passed down for centuries, Méert's vanilla waffles are worth the detour. For the more indulgent, special flavors also exist to give a twist to the original recipe!
