Méert – A Taste of Tradition and Elegance in Lille
Nestled in the heart of Lille’s Old Town, Méert is a legendary pastry house that has been delighting gourmets since 1761. Renowned for its iconic filled waffles, a delicate creation of thin, buttery layers filled with Madagascar vanilla, Méert embodies the art of French confectionery at its finest.
Beyond its famous waffles, Méert is also celebrated for its exquisite chocolates, pastries, and caramels, all crafted with the same attention to detail and timeless savoir-faire. Stepping into its historic boutique and tearoom feels like traveling back in time — the elegant 19th-century décor, gilded mirrors, and crystal chandeliers reflect centuries of refinement and indulgence.
Loved by figures such as Charles de Gaulle, who grew up nearby, Méert remains a symbol of Lille’s rich gastronomic and cultural heritage.
