Maison Dandoy, a family affair Our great-great-great-grandfather Jean-Baptiste was a baker. In 1829, he opened his first shop in the heart of Brussels. Thirty years later, he moved to Butter street (rue au Beurre) where he taught the job to his son Philippe. There, the Dandoy dynasty blossomed: 150 years later, butter and sugar still rule the roost under Saint Nicholas’ laughing eye. Maison Dandoy, only fresh and natural ingredients Maison Dandoy survived the difficult first half of the 20th Century thanks to Jean-Philippe, Philippe’s son, and then to his daughter Fernande and her husband Valère Rombouts. The times during WWII were hectic and if it wasn’t for the crunchy crispbread, Maison Dandoy might not have made it. Only in 1948 Valère decided to start making all Maison Dandoy specialties again. Being a man of high standards, he’s preferred to wait three years until butter and sugar that met his standards were available again on the market. La Maison Dandoy, a passionate perfectionist During the 70’s, Jean Rombouts-Dandoy, Valère and Fernande’s son, and his wife Christiane brought a breath of fresh air to Maison Dandoy. Won over, Brussels people hurried Butter Street. A true passionate, Jean even turned down a NASA job offer to keep on creating new biscuits, helped by his two pastry chefs Pierre and Willy. As to Valère, at more than 80 years old, he was never far off and still kept a loving eye on the biscuits. Maison Dandoy, it’s not just biscuits, it’s a way of life After Jean and Christiane, Christine, their daughter, and Bernard Helson, their son-in-law, took over the family business. New boutiques opened but Maison Dandoy held on to the principles that made its success: family, crafts, quality and tradition. In 2012, Maison Dandoy went through a total makeover: golden dots everywhere. Alexandre and Antoine Helson, Bernard Helson’s sons and 7th generation of Maison Dandoy entered the adventure. What now? Lots of new ideas, big projects and the same old recipes.

New in Antwerp ! These are the biscuits that will love you back.

Went inside just to buy one biscuit cause I wanted to try it. Lady at the store just ended up giving it to me. Super lovely store. The biscuit was nice soft and fluffy. I would buy a box next time I’m there

The vanilla speculoos is delicious! This is also a beautiful store

It's difficult to resist paying a visit to this delicious shop whenever I'm in the neighborhood. Some people complain about the price but you don't enjoy such high quality cookies and biscuits everyday; every now and then it's fine to spoil yourself and your beloved ones.
