This store was one of the smaller ones we visited but its proximity to the Grand Place made it the obvious choice to duck into and escape the heatwave and indulge. I liked this store in particular since the staff were always warm and outgoing. They also were very generous in the sampling ;) Our newest favorite flavor was the calamansi Sensation. It was dark chocolate wrapped around dark chocolate ganache but with a very distinctive calamansi citrus flavor. We love calamansi and never imagined tasting it as part of a praline. If you really want to try it then go now since it will only be available during the summer! Lastly as part of their frequent buyer program, the store includes free samples to go. Staff just need to scan your Neuhaus Insider QR code and that's it. SO's taste buds agreed Neuhaus was the Belgian chocolatier on this trip and we'll be back.

So now I know! Nevertheless, I think I died and went to hot chocolate heaven. We ordered two salted caramel hot chocolates which were served on trays with a side of whipped cream, a side of chocolate and a cup filled with chocalety goodness complete with a chocolate Santa plopped right on top. The store was inviting and filled with many chocolate delights. We ordered two additional pieces to go along with our order.i ordered the chocolate with caramel and pecan shavings and Aidan ordered the lemon chocolate. Despite the hefty price of $20usd for 2 cups of hot chocolate and 2 add on chocolates it was well worth it.

The staff is incredibly welcoming and they offer samples to everyone, which really helps you decide. It's the perfect place to pick up souvenirs because you can mix and match exactly what you want and pay by weight. The pricing is fair--not the cheapest in town, but certainly not overpriced for the quality and location.

There were so many options--chocolate boxes, individual chocolate pieces, chocolates by weight, chocolate bars, waffles, and more. It was hard to choose! I ended up getting a few chocolate truffle boxes, chocolates by weight, and the traditional Belgian dessert, cuberdon. I had never heard of or seen cuberdon before. It had a gooey, sugary texture filled with fruit-flavored syrup. It was very unique, and I'd never experienced a texture like that before. The chocolate tasted as good as I expected. I especially loved the freeze-dried strawberry inside the white chocolate. And one of the chocolates looked like a real rock but was filled with almond paste. Being inside this shop made me feel so happy. There were tons of chocolates, and I never got bored of exploring them. I wish I could visit this shop again.

We visited this chocolate shop just down the street from another store…read more We found a lower cost of chocolate but we learned that that's because they use more sugar in their chocolate than some of the higher end chocolate houses. Don't get me wrong it's good chocolate but not a rich and has less cocoa in it. For gift giving get this chocolate and save the higher end for yourself but it's still Belgian chocolate and can't go wrong with that.

The store has a self-serve structure where everything is priced by the pound. The workers were very friendly--one even greeted me with a free sample & we had a lovely conversation about traveling. The rumors are true: Belgian chocolates are absolutely delicious. I enjoyed the treats so much that I even made a second trip to bring one of my friends back to try some for themselves. I would definitely visit again the next time 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. :)
