Seriously avoid those galeries saint-hubert chocolate shops theyre overpriced tourist garbage targeting people who dont know better about real belgian chocolate quality vs marketing

Mary chocolates at 73 rue royale making handcrafted chocolates since 1919 and their dark chocolate pralines with coffee ganache are what belgian chocolate should actually taste like €4.50-6.20 per piece depending on filling but incredible quality that justifies every cent. The woman behind counter lets you taste different ganaches if you ask nicely and explain youre trying to understand flavor profiles

Pierre marcolini also legit with locations at place du grand sablon €5.80-8.40 per piece but mary represents more traditional belgian style without pretentious modern presentations. Both completely destroy godiva which is basically supermarket chocolate with fancy packaging sold to americans who dont know better honestly

Total cost comparison: 6 piece mary selection box €32.50 vs equivalent godiva €45+ and mary quality is objectively superior if you taste side by side
