Experience the Real

Don’t be tricked by tourist traps around

Everything you create during the workshop will be carefully wrapped so you can take it home. This way, you’ll be able to share your handmade chocolates with family and friends.

The workshop is also a unique opportunity to exchange and interact with our chocolate makers. They will share their knowledge and answer your questions, guiding you through the fascinating world of cacao.

We don’t really keep track of ratings… unless someone points them out to us.

Many of our guests discover and book our workshops through large international travel platforms. While we are grateful for the visibility these companies offer, it’s important to know that when you book through applications such as Viator, AirBnb Experiences, TripAdvisor or GetYourGuide, around 30% of the price you pay goes to these large platforms; not to the people who craft your experience, nor to the cacao farmers who grow our beans.

When you book directly from our website, the full amount stays within our ethical supply chain.

It helps us pay fair prices to smallholder cacao farmers, support our local team of certified chocolate makers, and continue to develop responsible and sustainable chocolate experiences in Brussels.

That said, we are also proud to be featured on several travel platforms, which allow visitors from all over the world to share their feedback and rate their experience with us. And we’re happy to say, the reviews speak for themselves! Thousands of guests have joined our workshops and left enthusiastic comments about the quality of our chocolate, the friendliness of our staff, and the fun of creating their own Belgian chocolates from bean to bar.
