Incredibly delicious! This chocolaterie shined brightly in the sea of chocolate shops near and…read morearound Grote Markt. We couldn't resist it on our way back to our tour meeting point. Our stop here was the best decision ever. We were greeted immediately by a man who I believe is the owner. He was very kind in assisting us with our selections. Everything looked so tempting. He explained that we could create our own box, or select a pre-made box of their popular chocolates. He gave us the number of chocolates by size of box and collector tin. We ended up purchasing the Ypres Salient souvenir tin filled with the most beautiful & decadent Belgian pralines. I've only been able to try the red poppy praline since our return. It was too beautiful to resist it. I detected a little Baileys in the filling. It was amazing! I can't wait to try the rest of the 29 pieces. The store is beautifully decorated just like their chocolates. The service was great! We were also given a seashell chocolate sample as a little teaser which was unexpected. It was a wonderful treat after having a fantastic lunch at a restaurant nearby. Don't miss this experience when visiting the In Flanders Field Museum.

Another review said, "This shop is no different." I respectfully disagree. Peter DeGroote is…read moreabsolutely the best chocolate shop I have ever experienced in many trips to Brussels, Paris, New York City, and even Berkeley and San Francisco, California. First the Chocolate. It is rich, and the varieties are extraordinary. I particularly loved the ginger dark Chocolate with tiny chunks of real fresh ginger. The chocolate truffles are all masterpieces, each with a unique personality that are showcases for Peter DeGroote's artisanal craftsmanship and impeccable tastes. The location is perfect with the Cloth Hall just across the square. Emerging from this shop, with a box of his chocolates, after seeing the affable, handsome Peter DeGroote and his gorgeous wife working together happily and industriously, one feels like they are at the apogee of western civilization.

It's not the cheapest place in the world but you're getting the best quality chocolate, beautifully wrapped, boxed or otherwise presented. Their Christmas window display is always fantastic and the shop looks amazing at Easter and around Valentine's Day. This is, frankly, the only place to buy Easter eggs from. They are made from the best quality chocolate, the shells are thick, and are stuffed with a selection of eggs, chocolates and truffles. The service is very obliging and they offer a very prompt postal delivery service.

Was initially only passing by in the area, but got drawn into this Chocolatier by what was on…read moredisplay - simply, the variety and decoration of the chocolates showed skill and design, some of which seemed even excessively. As a chocolate lover, it would have been difficult to resist the lure. Looking in the store, they had some very nice chocolates, some of which seemed to have extremely high cocoa content - from what I remember, up to 90% or thereabouts (not my type of thing, but some people like it bitter). I would say that if you like chocolate but do not want to end up shelling out and buying loads, avoid this place!

Lovely spot, great music and coffee, gorgeous chocolate. Will come back when in the area.read more
