Maybe it's just me, but in my opinion, the cost does not match the taste. Kinda blah.read more

It's a takeaway chain, but it's also the source for the best "Luikse Wafel" in Belgium!…read more You have to admire Belgaufra's slogan: "Probably the best since 1950." There is no probably about it. This is it. The caramelization on these waffles cannot be beat -- you can eat them without toppings, just eat them! Often! No hours whatsoever are posted, but constant monitoring proved they open somewhere around 10am and are closed around 7pm. Go go go.

We had a fun time exploring this fun and unique museum. It starts off with some cool audio and…read morevisual effects as you wander through a few different rooms to learn how chocolate is made. Then you visit some different rooms where an audio guide will tell you more about different pioneers in the chocolate industry, different types of chocolate, and advancements that have been made. The audio guide didn't always seem to work. Unlike many places where you key in a number to hear the info, this one you scanned it almost like your remote control for your TV, but myself and most around me seemed to have trouble with some. Not a huge deal as there was TONS to listen to. The last room is full of about a dozen vats of different flavors of liquid chocolate. They let you into the room and give you a spoon and you get to sample the chocolate by holding your spoon underneath the spout and pulling down a lever. It was yummy! Some people seemed to mention all you can eat, but in our case it seemed like you were sort of herded through so that would be hard to do. Fortunately although it is delicious, it is also very rich so I'm not sure I would want all you can eat unless I was ready for an upset stomach. There also was a little bit of a hiccup when we arrived. We stored our coats and bags in the complimentary lockers but as we got in line to purchase our tickets, some sort of alarm went off and they had to get the people who were already in, out, and it delayed our entry by almost a full hour. Props to the staff who really tried to keep us entertained while we were waiting. They did bring us free water bottles, and samples of little chocolate balls that were good. I wish I got their names because a couple of staff members really did a nice job in an unexpected situation. All in all we enjoyed our trip to visit chocolate nation, and would encourage you to visit if in Antwerp!

The quality is truly the best in Antwerp and with such a wide variety of flavors, you can find something for everyone. The staff there is top notch, they are very knowledgeable about chocolate and are warm/ friendly. Top picks; Antwerp Diamond (white with champagne truffle filling), Rubens Pallet (milk with walnut filling), and TNT (dark with lemon/eucalyptus ganache and CO2 - yes, tastes like pop rocks, very unique!, red hearts (milk with fruit filling - these are both tasty and beautiful). Enjoy!

After living seven years in the US, I was kind of excited when I found about Grare American…read moreFoodstore. I decided to make a trip there.... and big dissapointment. The shelves are half empty, and it seems like the same products are repeated to create the ilussion of having more products than the ones that really are. In particular, I was very excited to drink some Snapple Apple - a product that you can find in every single store, gas station, supermarket, even liquor store in the whole country - just to find out that Grare American Foodstore does not sell it. I will probably not come back. I expecting much more from this place.

I'm an American living in Antwerp, Its been a little over a year since i've seen American Products!…read moreI was skeptical about what I was going to see when I walk into Graré, I LOVED IT! I was so happy to see almost every favorite of mine!! From Beer to Lawrys Seasonings to A1 Steak sauce! They even have laundry cleaning supplies!! Every soda you can imagine! The store is pretty tiny , but they have it all there! I was grabbing things of the shelves , with happiness, totally forgetting that i'm not in America, until I went to pay! Get ready, the prices are high, but, I say, its worth it!! Example ; 4 cans of Coors Light would be about 4 US Dollars , here , its costs 8 Euros!! Ill still be back!! Great store!! Great customer service as well!!

CHOCOLICIOUS We have…read moreordered once in-person and have subsequently ordered online twice. This chocolatier doesn't disappoint. Our most recent order was very custom - we specified which pralines we wanted in each box. We weren't sure of the names of the pralines, but they were incredibly helpful. We received our meticulously packed order and are preparing to send them to friends and family via Post. The size of the little box is perfect for slipping into a mailing envelope. It's a special treat for our U.S. friends and family to receive such a high quality product. Of course, we had to conduct our own taste test first. Delicious!

Caramel, fresh creams, pralinés, gianduja, black chocolates, milk, coffee, almond paste, walnut paste pistachio paste, fruit paste, liqueur, candied fruit, dragees... chocolates offering a real festival of flavours. Try also the different hand-rolled truffles really delicious something for connoisseurs. I also love the cute packaging, nice boxes and in every gift box you find carefully and delicately placed tissue paper. This shop is a heaven for chocolate lovers and if there would exist stars for chocolatiers Mary would be rated for sure as one of the highest. They are slightly more expensive but so good - a TOP Chocolatier !
