Our beautiful capital is the birthplace of Belgian chocolate, and the reputation of its chocolatiers proves it. Here, chocolate treats abound! As true foodies, we’ve decided to share the addresses of the best chocolatiers in Brussels with you . Have you tried them yet?
Just named “Chocolatier of the Year 2027 ” for Brussels by the Gault & Millau guide, Arthur Amblard is one of the most talked-about newcomers in the Sablon district. Having opened in 2025, the shop captivates customers with a range of products made entirely without added sugar, where pralines, chocolate bars, and original creations prove that pleasure and high standards can go hand in hand.
Now there’s a truly successful chocolatier! Named Best Chocolatier of 2020 and 2026 in Belgium and Luxembourg by the Gault & Millau guide, Jérôme Grimonpon is one of the few chocolatiers in Brussels to create his own artistic chocolate masterpieces. Spreads, “mélo-cakes,” truffles, bars, pralinettes… it’s impossible not to fall for so many delicious treats!
Does he really need an introduction? Pierre Marcolini is the star of the chocolate world—and, incidentally, our favorite. Yes, his chocolates aren’t cheap, but they’re so good! Chocolate bars, macarons, truffles, chocolate bars— as well as jams, cakes… our mouths are already watering! We also commend the chocolatier for his commitment to sustainable chocolate and fair-trade cocoa production.
Legend has it that it was the pharmacist Jean Neuhaus who first conceived the chocolate square: and for good reason—he used to coat his medicines with it to make them taste better! In 1912, when he replaced the medicine with crème fraîche, he unwittingly created the first true praline. A hundred years later, the chocolates from Maison Neuhaus still make our mouths water.
Did you know? Jean Galler is the official chocolate supplier to the Belgian Royal Family. Needless to say, his chocolates—in addition to being delicious—are among the best you can find in Brussels. Renowned worldwide for his chocolate bars (which he calls “Bâtons”), the sophisticated and meticulous presentation of his gift boxes makes them the perfect gift for family gatherings!
A true Brussels institution, Laurent Gerbaud invites you to sit down and savor delicious chocolates, ice cream, and chocolate drinks right in the heart of the city. Named Brussels’ “Chocolatier of the Year 2021” by Gault & Millau, Laurent Gerbaud also sells excellent vegan dark chocolate and milk chocolate spreads. They’re impossible to resist!
Looking for something off the beaten path? The Belgian Chocolate Makers isn’t just the largest store dedicated to chocolate in Brussels—it’s also one of the few that makes everything in-house at its workshop in the Sablon, using products made from certified single-origin cocoa beans. Its unique ingredients from around the world are sure to leave you speechless! Thyme from Le Lavandou, cloves from Zanzibar, cilantro from Laos, allspice… if you’re looking for something unique, look no further!
Wittamer
A Brussels institution founded in 1910, Wittamer has been carrying on the art of artisanal chocolate-making since 1985 in its iconic shop on the Grand Sablon. Its refined creations —such as the “Sumo” ganache, the “Tarragone” praline, and the famous “Pavés de Bruxelles”—appeal to purists and curious food lovers alike. Special mention goes to its sugar-free “Pleine santé” line, ideal for combining pleasure with a balanced diet.
