Headed to Belgium this summer and looking for chocolate and pastry must-visits!

[SweetandSnappyJen]

Hi all!

 

My daughter and I are headed to Belgium this summer, just for a few days, and would love to sample and visit some great spots.  Right now we just have Chocolate World in Antwerp on our agenda. I'd love any suggestions on unique (or not unique!) chocolate or pastry experiences. Or places to avoid!

 

Thank you!

Chocolate World is definitely a must see - I'm going to attach here the reports on my last two visits to Belgium so you can look through and see what places I've seen that might interest you,

No expertise here, but my favorite chocolate for many years has been Neuhaus. They must have stores in various locations all over Belgium..  I'm not typically a fan of filled chocolates, preferring dark bars, but their filled ones are fantastic.

Thanks, Katie!  I have seen Neuhaus around but have never tried them. I'll definitely give them a try!
