Following the droves of tourists that make their way along the Djiver in quaint, old Brugge, there stands a jolly shop housed inside a brick building in a lovely little corner, enticing every passerby to come in and taste and enjoy the artisanry. Aside from the many other ubiquitous chocolatiers found all around the city, Crevier looks both elegant and unique. A leap of faith, aided by a chocolate fountain in the entrance, brought us in, hoping to avoid the ever present tourist traps found throughout Europe.
Much like the saints of old, our faith was rewarded. Delightfully light nougat and delicious toffee was to be had. We also tried the chocolate covered strawberries, and while the milk chocolate was lost to the strong strawberry tartness, the dark chocolates covered ones merited a trip back.
This chocolatier will become Brugge fixture without a doubt, being the second location of the brand overall in Belgium. Look for the signs announcing chocolates and confections made with the highest quality products and without preservatives, and delight yourself in a city where the number of chocolatiers are only rivaled by the number of hotels and clueless tourists. read more
