Centrally located chocolate store…read more Very clean interior, and only had one staff but was pretty empty when I walked in on a weekday. They sell single chocolates if you just want a quick taste, or can come in for large packs of boxes. Some stores will only sell box sizes, so it was nice for an option that will give you a quick snack. Have the usual touristy items as well, including commemorative boxes. Came here for an ice cream, which they service in single serving bars. They are covered in dark chocolate that's creamy and rich, with small crunchy nibs. Staff spoke English and they took credit card. Definitely a solid experience for some Belgian chocolates.

For a chocolatier that prides itself on serving its chocolates to royalty, it seems like care is not taken for precision. I did enjoy some of the interesting flavors like Earl Grey or orange liqueur. I suppose the taste trumps shape.

One of the workers, Sebastian, was very friendly--we had a lovely conversation about the chocolates & traveling. This was the second chocolaterie I visited that evening, but I'm excited to report that it's now my new favorite. I got a variety of chocolates--I even brought a friend for a second trip later on so they can try it for themselves & I picked up more treats to try for myself as well. I came back one more time to buy some of their products to bring home for my friends in California. I wish they had a location closer to home, but this is definitely a chocolaterie I'll keep returning to whenever I'm in Brussels.

The staff provided excellent customer service and was very helpful throughout our visit. The ambiance is fancy, clean, and organized. The chocolates were silky smooth, and each flavor had its own distinct taste. You can immediately identify the different flavors, and each piece has its own unique flavor profile. I also love that the chocolates are not overly sweet. They have just the right amount of sweetness, allowing the chocolate flavors to stand out. The truffles were also delicious, with a nice balance of slight sweetness and bitterness. The box comes with several different flavors, which makes it fun to try a variety of their creations. :)

Has been in this gallery since the mid 1800's. Apparently they invented the praline (chocolate with various fillings). The furnishings alone at this location are wonderful and worth a visit.

As a bonus, there's a chocolate bust of the founder proudly displayed in the front window (probably not for sale!). I bought a few things and can't wait to try them.

My favorite box is the one where half the pieces are milk chocolate and half are dark chocolate. You get best of both options. Now I'm craving some Nauhaus chocolates. So delicious and rich. ~
