I saw quite a lot of recommendations for this shop in Gent so I decided to pop in because I wanted…read moreto buy some chocolate to bring back home to the US. I was a little overwhelmed with the different options they had, so I spent a good amount of time there. I ended up picking up a few of their pre-packaged truffle assortments and also got a few individual truffles for me to eat. One of the clear case boxes unfortunately got severely squished in my suitcase, so I actually ended up eating them since they were not in a presentable state haha. Standouts of the ones I tried have to include passion fruit and macadamia. Yuzu is also high up there too. I think these were just more interesting flavors and more preferable to my own tastes. They're a solid choice for nice chocolate. Was my mind blown away? Not really, but the chocolates are high quality, handmade, crafted well, and certainly a LOT cheaper than what you can get in the US. My favorites were very delicious, and I would get them again or ask someone to bring them back if the opportunity ever presented itself.

Was initially only passing by in the area, but got drawn into this Chocolatier by what was on…read moredisplay - simply, the variety and decoration of the chocolates showed skill and design, some of which seemed even excessively. As a chocolate lover, it would have been difficult to resist the lure. Looking in the store, they had some very nice chocolates, some of which seemed to have extremely high cocoa content - from what I remember, up to 90% or thereabouts (not my type of thing, but some people like it bitter). I would say that if you like chocolate but do not want to end up shelling out and buying loads, avoid this place!

There are plenty of chocolate shops throughout Brussels, although this shop was ultra classy…read moreresembling a Louis Vuitton of chocolates. The inside was elegant and had giant chocolate eggs randomly on display. It did not have the original Brussels chocolate vibe, but there were a decent selection of chocolates and the multi flavored macarons looked amazing. The pistachio centered chocolates were my favorite. Directly in front of the shop was a push cart with a woman selling freshly churned ice cream for 6.50€. Type of place to purchase a beautiful gift box of chocolates but still many other places nearby with a warmer ambiance, although not sure if better chocolates.

First the Chocolate. It is rich, and the varieties are extraordinary. I particularly loved the ginger dark Chocolate with tiny chunks of real fresh ginger. The chocolate truffles are all masterpieces, each with a unique personality that are showcases for Peter DeGroote's artisanal craftsmanship and impeccable tastes. The location is perfect with the Cloth Hall just across the square. Emerging from this shop, with a box of his chocolates, after seeing the affable, handsome Peter DeGroote and his gorgeous wife working together happily and industriously, one feels like they are at the apogee of western civilization.
