Belgian chocolate is really good and this place has been around for over 100 years. They have many locations and tourists love them, but their chocolate is good. read more

There are a number of reasons I like Neuhaus the best: - Of course, the chocolates are delicious. - A lot of the stores will allow you to sample any one that you choose (though this particular location didn't allow me to sample anything), so I was able to find ones that I really liked. - There was a large variety of pre-packaged chocolates, and I was able to find something in every price range (as gifts). - There are a number of different box sizes to choose from to make your own custom box of chocolates. - Friendly, multi-lingual customer service in all locations. I found out that there is one store in the US in New York, but my mother-in-law informed me that the chocolates there aren't as fresh as the ones I hand selected from Belgium. :)

First off, the store inside is beautiful. If you go to the back, you can see these huge chocolate sculptures that they made. The people who work there are so nice too. They gave me and my friends so many samples to try. My favorites were deadly delicious (apparently Billie Eilish's favorite) and the tarte citron. I also tried the chill pill, which was definitely not my cup of tea. The grass flavor was so strong, but the chocolate itself was so pretty! I bought each of my friends a box of 5 chocolates. It was so fun to see them try each different flavor together. It's such an easy gift, and the chocolates are very reasonably priced too! Be careful when you're traveling with them though - some of the tarte citrons did break because they're so fragile. If you want fun, creative chocolates, this is the place to go!

The quality is truly the best in Antwerp and with such a wide variety of flavors, you can find something for everyone. The staff there is top notch, they are very knowledgeable about chocolate and are warm/ friendly. Top picks; Antwerp Diamond (white with champagne truffle filling), Rubens Pallet (milk with walnut filling), and TNT (dark with lemon/eucalyptus ganache and CO2 - yes, tastes like pop rocks, very unique!, red hearts (milk with fruit filling - these are both tasty and beautiful). Enjoy!

Our most recent order was very custom - we specified which pralines we wanted in each box. We weren't sure of the names of the pralines, but they were incredibly helpful. We received our meticulously packed order and are preparing to send them to friends and family via Post. The size of the little box is perfect for slipping into a mailing envelope. It's a special treat for our U.S. friends and family to receive such a high quality product. Of course, we had to conduct our own taste test first. Delicious!

Caramel, fresh creams, pralinés, gianduja, black chocolates, milk, coffee, almond paste, walnut paste pistachio paste, fruit paste, liqueur, candied fruit, dragees... chocolates offering a real festival of flavours. Try also the different hand-rolled truffles really delicious something for connoisseurs. I also love the cute packaging, nice boxes and in every gift box you find carefully and delicately placed tissue paper. This shop is a heaven for chocolate lovers and if there would exist stars for chocolatiers Mary would be rated for sure as one of the highest. They are slightly more expensive but so good - a TOP Chocolatier !
Maybe it's just me, but in my opinion, the cost does not match the taste. Kinda blah.read more

Amazing tour even without the free in person tastings…read more...... They've limited the number of tickets offered so there is heightened safety. Masks required. Given an audio guide, we entered room after room of narrative that expanded how only the best chocolate makes it to Belgium & how the chocolate makers then turn it into scrumptious Belgian chocolate The stage setup, the automation, the lights & the entire setup was incredible. Totally selfie-worthy & there were lots of opportunities to do just that And let's not overlook the chocolate sculptures and chance to see the atelier kitchen (all behind glass) where they make fun shapes like shoes or soccer balls And as a parting gift, we were provided with a goodie bag of all the flavors we would have been able to try while there, had we not been in a pandemic situation - so we still got to enjoy all the flavors from the different cacao beans.......this was definitely as good as it gets
Walked in easily without a wait in the morning. The tour is more informative than interactive other…read morethan the room where you can scan the audio guide at each of the chocolate exhibits. I thought the chocolate sculptures would be grander honestly so I was mildly disappointed with the experience. At the end, you get to sample 8 different types of chocolates ranging from white, ruby, gold, and different cacao levels of milk to dark chocolate. The white and milks were rich and decadent but nothing to write home about. The gold chocolate is supposed to be a caramelized white chocolate, it was very sweet and indulgent. The ruby chocolate has a lot of pronounced fruity notes -- personally not a fan of fruit with my chocolate so this one was a pass for me, but the color was gorgeous! The dark chocolates were more on the acidic side. The gift shop has a lot of chocolate varieties to choose from -- bars (plain or with toppings), rubbber duck shapes, chocolate chips, a bar with the Antwerp skyline, and much more! I selected a few bars to bring home as souvenirs. They were relatively affordable, most bars max around 5 euros, though they are on the smaller side. But I have seen pricier bars at the supermarkets, so it's a fair price for freshly made chocolate!
