Explore Brussels’ chocolate story with tastings, a praline demonstration, an audio guide, and flexible self-guided exhibits near Grand Place.
“This was a fantastic tour with audio recorder to tell us about everything in our own requested language. I really enjoyed being able to listen to the audio and hear the stories related to all the chocolate historical artifacts. The chocolate tasting room was simple, but gave 5 types of chocolate to taste and compare with the different ways it was created. And lastly, there was a fabulous chocolate truffle making demonstration to teach people how to make truffles at home that was well worth sitting and watching for 20 minutes. This was an excellent experience, especially for the low cost.”

It's also right in front of other 2 Brussels museums (war museum and history museum), so you can just spend the day in the area and visit them all. We ended up having lunch here after our visit, and were very surprised by the quality of it! They have a very nice restaurant area and my salad was very tasty. Service is friendly and welcoming, I loved the idea of…”
