Van Hoorebeke is known for being one of the first to open up his kitchen to viewing from the public, thus the clear floor window into their kitchen that's viewable from the street. We tried the hazelnut praline and while it was tasty and the service was friendly it wasn't enough of a standout to purchase for us. To be honest I probably would have chosen a different flavor for the tour as it was slightly unmemorable. All that being said, it's good chocolate for the value so I would recommend stopping in if you're visiting Ghent.

We accompanied that with a warm chocolate milk drink. Both were purely amazing, although the waffle was a bit crunchy compared to others I have tried. The atmosphere is vibrant and fun, and you'll get a good dessert fix, best for an afternoon treat. It appears to primarily cater to tourists, yet they seem to keep the quality good. There's nothing better than a snack of waffles and chocolate!

The service was friendly and the shop was bursting with different gift boxes (mostly Smurf related) but their chocolate didn't stand out much to me. It was good, as all the spots on our tour were, but it didn't have that wow factor and was slightly unmemorable. It is very centrally located and a bit easier to shop in due to it's layout and size, so overall while they weren't my favorite I think it's easy to stop in here while visiting some of the other local chocolate shops and if the person you're buying for is a Smurfs fan this would definitely be the place to go.
