Neuhaus - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Brussels, BRU

With hundreds of chocolate shops in Brussels, how do you know which chocolate shop has the best chocolate? After trying out multiple different chocolatiers, we decided that Neuhaus is our favorite! The interior of the shop is beautiful and the staff was very helpful. We walked out with a few goodies and there wasn't 1 thing we disliked. We love how deliciously luxurious Neuhaus chocolates are! read more

Neuhaus - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Brussels, BRU

Leonidas chocolates are satisfying and affordable for the masses...Neuhaus is for the rich and occasional over indulgences... 4 years later though, my annual income had increased by about 40%, so I can afford to over indulge a bit more on nonessential delicious delicacies: BELGIUM CHOCOLATE! Neuhaus and Leonidas have near identical scrumptious mouthwatering sweet selections. However, while Neuhaus's fine chocolates cost nearly 3 times more than Leonidas, you can definitely taste the extra richness and divine differences. Its magic! Treat yourself! read more

Second chocolate shop in Belgium did not disappoint. We walked here after a dispiriting dinner experience, and were all in a better mood by the time that we left. The space is tight, and it's a bit chaotic trying to navigate ordering your chocolates, but the woman who was helping us out was very sweet and helped us select several ones for a sample "sac." We of course got a few pralines and our daughter got their little "rose cone." Everything we had, once again, was unsurprisingly incredible, and we liked that some of these chocolate had a bit of a chewier layer to them. We tried a few different flavors, but the most memorable ones were raspberry and coffee. The speculoos was also interesting. We might recommend finding a less busy location, but it's fun to watch the chocolate Ferris wheel in their window if you're with a kid. Either way, you won't be unhappy with your purchases. read more

Belgium is famous for it's chocolate, which is widely appreciated. Belgian chocolates holds a very special place in my heart. You have not had good chocolate, until you have had Belgian chocolate. The Belgians are experts in the field of chocolate, which is why you will find many chocolate shops around this fabulous city. Now, when it comes to average chocolate, there are candy bars every where in the states, but not one drop of chocolate can compare to Belgian chocolate. I was never really a big fan of chocolate back at home, until I visited Belgium, then all of my concerns about my diet went out of the window! Neuhaus has a unique and rich history in Brussels. It was one of the most sought out chocolates to buy in the world. In 1857 the Belgian chocolatier Jean Nehaus, a Swiss migrant invented the first chocolate shell and sophisticated the flavors along the way. Many may ask what is so unique about Neuhaus? Once you place the chocolate on your tongue, then you will notice the flavor of a well made chocolate. Neuhaus is recognize globally as the leader in luxury chocolate. "Tempts both palate and tongue." read more

Was in the gallery, saw that chocolate dipped ice cream bar and knew I'd regret it not to get it. There are several choices of bar-chocolate-topping, so quite a few combinations are possible. I got a chocolate ice cream bar, dipped in milk chocolate with candied raspberry. I love the presentation, the small box that it comes with to catch any drippings. The ice cream itself is frozen solid, but surprisingly has no ice crystals. If you don't let it melt a little before eating, it is going to be on the hard side. Caramel wafers are placed against the chocolate and then dipped together into melted milk chocolate, fusing together. Milk chocolate quickly solidifies into a shell. Maybe I didn't wait long enough for the shell to harden as it was still soft and somewhat gooey. As such it didn't have that uberly satisfying magic shell crunch when biting into it. But the chocolate shell is has thick rich mouthfeel that requires pause and appreciation. Core chocolate ice cream has a good mild chocolate flavor. Caramel wafers provide hard crunch and buttery caramel complexity. Raspberry sprinkles adds a lovely sweet and tart complexity to the party. A sophisticated take on an ice cream bar. Layered with lovely nuanced. I'd like the core ice cream to be softer, but perhaps if one lets the bar sit for a few minutes it will get a softer texture. The chocolate dipped ice cream bar gets a solid endorsement. read more

Great chocolate! We bought a few boxes for friends and ourselves. We were given a sample of the new Thin Chocolates. The woman working was very sweet explaining to us about the history and chocolate because it was our first time. read more

As I quickly learned, there are many Neuhaus shops located throughout Brussels. I chose this location as it is located in the beautiful Galleries Royales Saint-Hubert, thus the shop is equally as beautiful, but the downside is that it seemed to be much busier than other locations. The left side of the store was for choosing the fresh unpacked chocolates, which were then put in boxes or bags of your choice, and weighed for price (some of the boxes were more expensive as they were decorated special). The rest of the store contained prepackaged chocolate assortments in various gift boxes that you could choose from. In the middle of the store, set a bit behind everything, is the only cash register. This was the only blunder of this store, they have several people to help you with your selection, but then you have to wait in a very long line just to pay. They really should invest in another cash register at this location. The service was incredibly friendly and helpful, and the chocolate is VERY yummy! Coming from Switzerland the land of chocolate, that is saying a lot! :) read more

Belgian chocolates are phenomenal and this place knows their stuff - They have been at it since the 1850s! There are a bunch of stores located in the city center, but this one is located in a stunning historical shopping mall (Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert). I'm normally not that much of a sweets person, but these chocolates are irresistible. Prices here are a bit higher than some of the other chocolate shops in the area, but the creations are pretty unique in comparison and they are addicting - so worth it! I'm hooked. I've already looked up where they have stores in London so I can get my fix near home. 2 of my favorites are: 'Jean' filled with dark chocolate ganache from Peru and the 'Galerie' filled with caramel ganache. As I sit here typing this review, the little red Neuhaus box on coffee table is calling my name...can't resist, going in for one more (or maybe two) read more

Neuhaus chocolates are amazing chocolates. You can taste the purity of the chocolate and the delicious cream. Neuhaus was the inventor of the praline and they have been around since 1857. The luxury Chocolatier created the "irrésistibles" collection with pralines called Caprice and Tentation which are hand-filled chocolates with three different textures. The cornets have a melt-in-the mouth texture. I also love the Orangette which is candied orange peel in dark chocolate. Neuhaus is a Warrant Holder of the Court of Belgium. This location has a nice assortment and helpful staff. www.neuhaus.com read more

We stopped by their adjoining shop that had mousse and ice cream. We got the white chocolate mousse with dark chocolate chips. It's a fair portion for the price, and shared amongst two it's practically perfect. It's quite sweet, which made it a bit difficult to finish, but it is chocolate, so. read more

Neuhaus - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Brussels, BRU

Here I am again with the chocolates...On our stop over at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, I went around browsing at the duty free shop. I saw a lady bought 6 boxes of these gems ...I was tempted to buy some too but I know we will be heading to Brussels and I remember my son telling me that Brussels is a haven for beer and chocolates so I just have to curtail my cravings and wait to buy it when we get there on our scheduled tour in two weeks. so I ended up having a Chicken Sandwich at a nearby stall. We arrived in Brussels two weeks later and sure enough, the Grand Plaza boast of having the most chocolate shops you can imagine....and the beers, Whew!!! never seen so much variety of beer in my entire life. As we pass Neuhaus, I knew i have to get in and have my fix. There it was, beautifully arranged, neatly packed on top of each other, all kinds of mouth filling delights, variety of flavors and sizes. Some sold by the pound and some in boxes. Neuhaus has been around since the year 1857 (displayed proudly on their ads) and invented the Belgian Praline, a bite size filled chocolate which consist of different fillings & shapes. My favorite was the Truffles Speculoos, (a very tasty Belgian invention of caramelized butter/ginger cookie) I'll be writing a separate review on this...the Truffles Caramel, (Butter Cream & caramel of course ) Ganache Frederic (melt in the mouth filling of cream, coffee & liqueur), Ganache Galerie ( salty & caramel delight) and the BonBon ( has rum in it). The Boxed Sommelier Collection (Pralines to accompany wines) came with a brochure..a tasting guide to suggest wines that goes with the chocolate.All pricey but all worth it. Neuhaus has 2 branches here in New York, one is located at 569 Lexington Ave., and the other one at 500 Madison but it is always nice to experience it where it all began.... read more

There are several Neuhaus locations throughout Brussels. While this one is the busiest, this one is also located in the lovely Galleries Royales Saint-Hubert, so I would suggest this one over the others. The woman behind the counter was very friendly and helpful, and also offered us samples to help us decide which chocolates to pick. We ended up getting an assortment and eating it before we even ate lunch. Oops! Expensive, but so worth it. Treat your palate. read more

Neuhaus has pretty amazing chocolates. But it's a chocolate shop in Belgium, so that's not much of a surprise, right? While it's perhaps not as boutique as Pierre Marcolini Chocolatier, it feels a bit classier inside than La Belgique Gourmande further down in the arcade. Prices are by weight, with a half-dozen pralines costing around 5€. If you're a coffee lover, they have a white chocolate-coated praline with coffee ganache and a chocolate-covered coffee bean on top that's simply outstanding. read more

Very good Chocolates well recommended by surroundings who live in Brussels. Prices are quite expensive but the quality is there (50 euros for 750g). I went to the shop in the St Hubert Galary read more

This is good stuff. I have 2 tips though. 1) buy belgian chocolate at the grocery store (much cheaper) 2) buy Neuhaus chocolate at the duty free store at the airport (if you have the chance) - also much cheaper. All that said, our experience at Neuhaus is that they had many stores, all were good, the chocolates were great, the service was fantastic - it was very expensive- but good! read more

There are so many options in Brussels of places to get chocolates, but I came here off a recommendation. They have some prepackaged options, but I opted to choose my own. I put together a box as a gift and got a bag for myself (bags are cheaper). I chose a variety of chocolates and you really cannot go wrong. The chocolates are delicious and the service is great! read more

Wonderful and beautiful retail space inside the Galerie. Got the praline ice cream which had nuts mixed into it. Great flavor though the consistency of the ice cream was not as rich as I tend to like my ice cream. read more

Excellent chocolates and service. The salesman provided a great overview on the Neuhaus chocolatier's story. This will make me enjoy and savor the chocolate even more when I get back home. read more

I've visited this shop (aka the first Neuhaus shop in the world) on multiple occasions. The chocolates stay pretty delicious for up to two months...though I don't know why you'd take that long to eat these. You honestly couldn't go wrong with anything here. Even when it gets super busy, the service is excellent and you can sample some pralines while you're here! I even befriended one of the workers who I still keep in touch with from the US to this day. Belgium is known for their chocolates. Skip the other big name Belgian chocolatiers like Leonidas and Godiva to come here! read more

The chocolate is pretty good and so is the customer service. When we walked in and was looking around, the sales person came right to us and asked if we needed any help. He suggested that we get the sample box which contain about 16 different chocolate. This cost about 16 Euros which I think is cheap. The store is beautiful! read more

The store has an amazing display of all sorts of chocolate. You can get pre-boxed arrangements or select your own. Pralines seems to be their speciality. The hot chocolate next door is delicious - rich and creamy. read more
