Trying to figure out where to get the best chocolate in Brussels without hitting the tourist traps - maybe stick to supermarkets or fancy boutiques?
newbie_notes2Where can I get the best chocolate in Belgium?
newbie_notes2Accepted answer
practical_peteDepending on what u want to spend money on
Pierre Marcolini is amazing if u want real high-end stuff
But for classic pralines Neuhaus is the best
I alway get Neuhaus at the outlet stores in Brussels because its top tier
If u just want something good for everyday u can find Galler or Côte d'Or in any supermarket
I like to buy Galler when I am traveling because it is reliable

REALITY_CHECKI found Neuhaus is the best for the chain shops and their thin bars are sooo good
sunny_days_be3That Côte d'Or Dessert 58 from the supermarket is a real treat, I love it!
leuven_dev_logicMarcolini is high quality because they make everything from seed to finished product - but it feels a bit overpriced to me.
realist_bxl2Got lost trying to find a specific shop last week ! Make sure u do not confuse the Blondeel in Molenbeek with the one in Koekelberg !
last_call_beLots of those shops in the center are just resellers of mid chocolate and arent worth the money
JokingNonnieCheck out Elisabeth for good truffles for less than Marcolini or Mary
belgium_vibesalways try to avoid the shops around the Grand Place because they are too touristy - better to find a local artisan
