What La Dunkerquoise is known for
Northern French pastry house since 1904 — pure butter thin waffles and almond thins using the original century-old recipe and traditional ovens from Dunkirk's pastry tradition.
La Dunkerquoise was founded in 1904 by Louis Preneel, a pastry maker from Malo-Les-Bains in Dunkirk, northern France. Preneel created thin biscuits and pure butter waffles so exceptional that people would travel distances on Sundays specifically to purchase them. The company specializes in artisanal production of pure butter thin waffles, with a recipe that has remained unchanged for over 120 years. La Dunkerquoise uses the same recipe and oven to ensure authenticity of this French specialty. The biscuit factory offers a diverse range beyond their signature waffles, including filled waffles in various flavors, traditional almond bread, fine biscuits, and savory waffles for aperitifs. All products maintain the ingredient standards and craftsmanship established at the brand's founding, making La Dunkerquoise a living example of French artisanal food production maintained through generations.
