La Dunkerquoise
In 1900, the pastry shop in Dunkirk made the best almond bread, so delicious that all the surrounding countryside moved every Sunday to the pastry shop to buy it. As the tradition dictates, at the beginning of each year it was customary to make Butter waffles to offer to family and friends. La Dunkerquoise pastry thought it good to make them and offer to their customers but that waffles were such a success that they start sell them all year round. Today, keeping the tradition alive, during the months of January and December La Dunkerquoise offers to all its customers their traditional waffles.

In 1900, a pastry shop in Dunkirk made the best almond bread, so delicious that all the surrounding countryside moved every Sunday to the pastry shop to buy it. As the tradition dictates, at the beginning of each year it was customary to make Butter waffles to offer to family and friends, for being considered a new year cookie that supposedly brings good luck. La Dunkerquoise pastry thought it good to make them for their customers by stating that they were seen as friends or family. These waffles were such a success that they eventually sold them all year round and from a gesture of pure sympathy a trend was born. Today, keeping the tradition alive, during the months of January and December La Dunkerquoise offers to all its customers these traditional waffles both in their shop and in their place of manufacture.
Nowadays, La Dunkerquoise belongs to Le comptoir des Flandres, a company with a passion for producing gold cookies, Flanders or waffles and bêtises. The company also owns Eugene Blong biscuits, and the Cambrai Bêtises registered with the national heritage.
