A few weeks ago, Ta Mère la Gaufre opened its doors in the center of Namur. If the cities of Brussels and Liège already have their own waffle, Namur wanted to add its stone to the building. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the Namur waffle is halfway between its two elders. And behind this very gourmet new project, we find none other than GuiHome relaxes you.
The Belgian comedian, originally from Namur, has teamed up with Guillaume Gersdorff, a master chef already very renowned in Belgium for his pasta. Everything in the project has been designed to highlight the city of Namur. Whether it is the decoration of the establishment, where the city is represented in drawing on the walls, the name of this new gourmet marvel, which directly echoes a song by Namur students, or the shape of the waffle, representing the confluence between the Sambre and the Meuse. On this subject, the molds had to be made to measure and each alone cost 17,000 euros!
”I started my professional life selling waffles”
GuiHome thus adds a string to its bow, where we did not necessarily expect it. “I have always had a hyperactive side and the desire to develop several projects at the same time. I like not to confine my life to my role as a comedian and I like to embark on projects that allow me to meet as many people as possible,” he confides to us, before returning to his meeting with Guillaume Gersdorff . “During a discussion we understood that we had the same thing in common: having sold waffles when we were 18 (him in Shanghai and me in Paris). He therefore brings his expertise in recipes and store management and I bring my visibility, my creativity and my love for communication around the concept”.

On the menu, customers can choose between several sweet waffles, such as chocolate-hazelnut, caramel-salted butter or peach-rosemary; but also savory versions, with American filet or hazelnut artichoke. Recipes which are of course expected to evolve according to seasonal products. The establishment is keen to highlight Belgian products. Moreover, all the drinks sold are made in our country. For our part, we fell for the salted caramel waffle and we must say that we were not disappointed. Ultra light, the waffle literally melts in your mouth and is a pleasure for our taste buds. The success is also there, since every day no less than 300 waffles are made on site and sold. A new address to discover if you are passing through Namur.
Good to know, GuiHome is still on tour with his one-man show for ten dates throughout Belgium:
