Our staff are genuine artisan chocolate makers, certified by the Federal Belgian Government.
In our boutiques, you can discover everything our chocolatiers create by hand, a showcase of creativity, craftsmanship, and passion.
We are the only certified artisan chocolate maker in the city of Brussels, and the only one not using industrial chocolate in our workshops. All the chocolate you’ll work with is crafted from premium cacao, fully traceable, and sourced through a 100% ethical and sustainable supply chain, meaning no deforestation, no child labor, and fair income for farmers.
In fact, 33% of the ticket price you pay for the workshop goes directly to support cacao farmers, ensuring them a decent and dignified living.
We are independent and proudly authentic, not part of any industrial group. During your visit, you’ll also have the opportunity to see our bean-to-bar machinery and receive explanations directly from our chocolate makers.

What To Expect
We are true Belgian chocolate makers, certified by the Belgian government. With us, you’ll really make your own chocolates being guided by a genuine and certified artisan! Let’s share our passion and explore the fascinating journey of Belgian chocolate, from our cacao plantations to our stores in Brussels. During the workshop, you’ll create your own mendiants, truffles, and a personalized chocolate bar and at the end, you’ll pack all your creations in a beautiful gift box to take home. You’ll also learn a lot about cacao: taste a raw cacao bean (super bitter!) and try pure cacao liquor, the natural paste we use to make our chocolate (no alcohol, just cacao!). The experience takes place in our brand-new 170 m² training centre, a fully equipped, air-conditioned workshop where we can welcome up to 60 participants. It can feel a bit cool inside, so we recommend dressing accordingly. Due to high demand, we currently run three sessions per day at 11 AM, 2 PM, and 5 PM. A hairnet is provided and must be worn during the workshop. Water dispensers and a disabled-access toilet are available on site.
