Our dish — the plate we'd order here first

Misérable

The misérable, vanilla cream between two almond biscuits, made in the house's own atelier. We'd buy one at the counter first.

Also on our table

  • And in the morning a couque suisse, the breakfast pastry, from the atelier's batch

Maison Nihoul

Belgian · pâtisserie, chocolaterie and biscuiterie · Ixelles (Châtelain–Flagey), Brussels

Must-goOne of the few places in this city we'd plan a trip around.

Four generations of pastry cooks have worked in their own atelier near the Châtelain since the late nineteenth century. The misérable, Brussels' almond cake, is the one we'd pick.
