We got a small set sampling from the macaron pyramid "La Délicate"-- a box of 7. It was beautifully gift wrapped with a ribbon. -Rose, Framboise, Praline, Citron, Pierre Marcolini, Pistache, and Passion. They're quite extravagant in look with the golden flakes brushed across a few of the cookies. The texture and feel were right on. Very good macaron overall. Pierre Marcolini is, of course, chocolate first, but their other confections are absolutely gorgeous. If you can foot the bill, then it's a nice fanciful gift of good quality.

The device was very polite & was in English from the start. Maybe I look very English with my disgruntled look or I look American by being fat. However they were very polite. The cake? I though with it being in the shop window it might be a touch dry. Heck no! The thickness of the delicious fudge/chocolate frosting kept the moisture trapped right in there. Was it the best chocolate cake that I bought my wife & sneaked a bit or six of? No. But it was up there... And for the price it can not be beaten. Well maybe add some rum etc & then it can be beaten...

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.

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.

Out of the hundreds of macaroons we tried, Pierre Ledent was number one in our list. The price was in relatively cheaper side and the box it came with, was very well made and presented. Their macaroons were the thickest I have ever bitten into. Also, it was filled with its specific flavored jam inside the usual creamy center. So when you bite into one, you will see the cloud like pieces of cookie, the creamy middle, AND the awesome jam supporting whatever the macaroon's flavor is. Back in California, I am sad that no other macaroon-specialty places here has anything even remotely close to Monsieur Pierre Ledent's masterpieces.

Oddly labeled as BS40, the shop at Rue Au Beurre 40 apparently now selling more than just…read moreChocolates from Darci's, it was after a touristy walk around Brussels Grand Place and Les Galeries Royales that a visit was made to another of Brussels' foremost Chocolatiers, the prices on par with most as Macarons raise the bar for taste as well as texture while Chocolates are presented in a rather unique variety. A place where Pralines take center stage, in this way no different than most of the Shops in Belgium, Darci's Chocolates sets itself apart from other spaces by labeling each item with full description and whether one opts for the "Owl" with Whisky Caramel and White Chocolate or "Sesamon" with Hazelnut Crisps and Salty finish there really is no wrong option the Speculoos and Arabica also excellent with their expected, yet well crafted, fillings. Moving past Chocolates, the confitures offered alongside Gaufre admittedly quite tempting, the decision was instead made to sample a few of BS40's pastel French Cookies, the batch made fresh that morning still sporting a shell with a perfectly crisp break overlying intensely flavored, but lightly sugared, creams and jellies.

We wanted to pick up a couple little treats for Sunday and decided to see what they had. The shop was overflowing with goodies! There were so many different things to choose from, including tartes, eclairs, chocolate, croissants, and because it's Easter time, a bunch of chocolate eggs. We went with a Mango Yuzu tarte, as well as a Vanilla creme one with frangipane and caramel. The crunching suprise of discovering the chocolate shell on the mango Yuzu, to the utter deliciousness of the caramel in the vanilla cream one really blew us away. Not to mention the price point. Two delicious patisseries for less than 10€. Can't wait to go back!
