Where to buy bread cakes chocolates ice cream Belgium

Forcado offers a wide range of pasteis de nata, including classics such as lemon, coffee, chocolate and speculoos, as well as raspberry, mojito, caramel and port cookie with vanilla cream. A range of cakes are made the old-fashioned way, just like in 1960s Portugal! A gluten-free range is also available. The store is spacious, uncluttered and bright... all signs of the Braz de Oliveira family's continuing success. The team has recently been reinforced to continue production, the patriarch having retired.

Kenny Vandenhende and Marc Lindekensde's atelier-boutique was born of an original concept. The former is a chocolatier, the latter an ice-cream maker, and together they explore these two worlds with passion and talent. There's no fuss here, just top-quality raw materials, a warm, professional welcome and a focus on customer satisfaction. In the mixed-race neighborhood of La Chasse, the results are exotic, like this ras el hanout praline. Also worth discovering: a trompe-l'oeil of chocolate French fries. Original and as addictive as the real thing.

V-chocolaterie is first and foremost the story of a family with 85 years of passion. It all began in the 1930s with Robert Sweertvaegher, a pastry chef turned chocolatier. He launched the first chocolate shop in Ypres, then in Courtrai and Bruges. In this beautiful store, the aesthetics of the packaging are as important as the quality of the chocolates, made with cocoa butter from sustainable cocoa and with no added vegetable fats. Take away the galette, their flagship product.

Cédric, son of Luc, is a unique artisan chocolatier whose products are to die for. Since 2008, he has amazed us with his many and varied creations. Here, we're a far cry from the big-brand chocolatiers known in France, but who aren't, after all, true, authentic chocolatiers like Van Hoorebeke. In addition to the rich variety of pralines, we recommend confectionery and gingerbread. Finally, you can personalize your chocolates, adding a touch of originality to your gifts.

Inaugurated at the end of February 2020 at the start of the pandemic, Fine Bakery has nothing to fear from the day after. No one could resist the crisp sourdough breads, the delicately flaky croissants, the French-style pastries such as this brioche lyonnaise with pink praline, the small savoury and sweet tarts... The bakery is in the back of the store, exhaling its aromas. As for the baker and his companion, they are on hand to serve and explain their daily production. Another gourmet address for Sablon and Uccle (^2nd boutique).

For five generations, Bevernaege has been known for its delicious, soft marzipan in various forms. The famous "lingot", a biscuit cake with raspberries and caramelized Italian meringue, is a must. There are also 13 types of bread (sourdough and baked the old fashioned way), pure butter cookies and homemade chocolates. Everything is guaranteed without flavour enhancers. The lightly toasted toast, sprinkled with cinnamon, is a must to rediscover the flavours of yesteryear.

Quality and freshness is "the new insurance of the former broker". Moving from insurance to chocolate maker: this is conversion! It was in 2002. A success! At the key, a second address, in Mons. Claude Legast's specialities include spices and miniature dragons, symbols of Mons and his «Doudou». Claude's son, Thibault, joined the house.

Brian and Anastasia Joyeux's expertise is evident first in the display and then on the palate. Rather than an identical assortment every day, Brian has opted for flagship products once a week: Tuesday the éclairs, Wednesday the lemon tarts, Thursday it's the turn of the marvellous and the Paris-Brest, and Friday the mille-feuille and the tarte tropézienne. Viennese pastries are also available every day, as well as a few other pastries, macaroons, caramels with red fruits and occasionally cakes for celebrations and birthdays.

Fresh from his ^39th place (^1st Belgian) at the Gelato World Festival, Mathieu Eyckmans pays daily tribute to Italian gelato. In his store, you'll find flavors that transport you to Rome or Florence (almond-pistachio, baccio, amarena, Piedmont hazelnuts...). Just the sight of their silky appearance in their tubs is enough to make your mouth water. Because gelati are a little lighter than their French cousins, they melt deliciously in the mouth and explode with flavor. A moment of pure bliss. Vegan, yoghurt and waffle options.

History: This is the factory outlet of the Neuhaus chocolate factory. This chocolate factory is the oldest in Belgium. It was founded in 1857 by Jean Neuhaus, a chocolatier from Switzerland, in association with his brother-in-law who was a pharmacist. Originally, these were pharmaceutical sweets: cough sweets, liquorice for stomach aches, marshmallows, chocolate pieces, all therapeutic and delicious sweets sold in the royal galleries Saint-Hubert in Brussels. Neuhaus is a patented supplier to the Court of His Majesty the King of Belgium. A stopover for the gourmands who find here the opportunity to taste all the possible chocolates!

Renowned pastry shop existing since 1990, the success can be seen on Sunday morning! The list of breads is long: white, grey, omega +, procorn, rye, sesame, vita +, cramic, fig bread, 10 cereals... We also like their buttery cakes, their creamy pies (fruits, rice, sugar...), ice creams and frozen cakes. Not to mention the marzipan figurines. Note that the production workshops are located on the spot, in order to keep the freshness and the warmth (of the baguettes for example). The service is impeccable despite the crowd of gourmands.

Located in the center of town, this large café-tea room is the place to be for the city's regulars at any hour of the day, to recharge their batteries without breaking the bank. The François family has been at the helm for 60 years. To say they don't disappoint is an understatement! The à la carte menu offers a wide choice of snacks. Try theuitsmijter (ham and cheese toast with fried eggs). Apple fritters, gourmet pancakes and waffles, ice creams, savory toasts... everything is homemade and delicious. Whether on the terrace or indoors, it's not easy to find a table.

Perhaps the competition is too great towards the Grand-Place, so it's next to the Parc du Cinquantenaire that you come for your ice cream! Original flavors and creations will reassure even the most demanding. The good news is that everyone can enjoy it, as some flavors are available without sugar or with rice milk. Well worth a stroll in the park with a few ice creams to savor! Capoue is now a well-developed chain, with numerous locations in Brussels (tasting rooms and takeaway counters) and Wallonia.

Tradition takes pride of place in this house founded in 1919 by Marie Delluc, and a "patented supplier to the Court of Belgium" since 1942! Here, natural ingredients and pure cocoa butter chocolate without additives. Among the assortment of pralines, we fall for the Mary (fondant praline, nougatine) and the Lady (four dark chocolate mousse pralines with equal degrees of bitterness). There are around 125 chocolates, including a range of 75 pralines. True to its spirit, the Rue Royale boutique welcomes customers in a charming retro atmosphere.

Is it still necessary to introduce Zizi? This inescapable ice cream maker never ceases to make us lose our minds: toasted sesame, croccantino, straciatella, or depending on the season, chestnut, mint tea, peanut butter, raspberry, melon, pineapple... It's hard to make a choice! All these flavours are a must. The sale in the shop is pleasantly extended by the one in the "truck", where you can also find the pancakes and waffles which are - also - the success of the brand. Be careful, the line is long at Zizi's, so take precautions.

Léonidas is a historic reference for Belgian chocolate. The first store in central Brussels (1913), rented by Basile Kestekides, had no door. A bizarre layout that forced the tenant to enter through the window and use the outside shelf as a counter. The best ideas are sometimes the result of a funny situation! By the way, let's not forget that Leonidas is industrially produced (like many other brands that pretend otherwise) and as such can boast the best value for money on the market!

Since 1932, the brand has offered a renowned collection of chocolates, faithful to the original recipes. Also emblematic, the central boutique, among other addresses in Brussels, is superbly installed. It is adorned with visual assets highlighting the products created by this chocolate maker. The chocolates are prepared according to the rules of the art and the best added products (dairy butter, hazelnuts from Piedmont, almonds from Faro). The cocoa butter is pure; the whole production, made by about fifty chocolate makers, is guaranteed without GMO.

The Chocolate Line is a chocolatier located in Bruges. The store has recently been extended to include a "Tree To Bar" production area, where customers can observe the complete chocolate-making process, from roasting the cocoa beans to pouring the bars. Production is limited and aimed at the most passionate chocolate lovers. In addition to their own production, The Chocolate Line also offers chocolates sourced from small family cocoa producers, offering a variety of subtle flavors. For chocolate lovers, The Chocolate Line is a must-stop on any visit to Bruges.

The master chocolatier-pastry chef is one of Brussels' most trusted names. Nowadays, Myriam and her brother, Paul, are the official suppliers to the Belgian Court and members of the prestigious Relais Desserts association. In addition to the excellent homemade chocolates, they also offer pastries, ice cream and a catering department. All in the top range! The best thing is to take the time to taste in the tea room. You can still find your soul there. Breakfasts, lunches, snacks, pralines and macaroons all compete for the attention of gourmets.

The Portuguese origins of Rui and his wife Emilia can be seen in the assortment... Of course, they sell the classic farmhouse breads and "French" baguettes, but next to the delicious pasteis de nata, you'll find their famous corn bread and a bunch of "good as over there" sweets, with orange or cinnamon. In a nod to their adopted homeland, the bakers have found a home in a superb Art Nouveau house. If you're afraid to share at home, you can also enjoy it on site, in the tea room.

Lovers of artisanal breads will be delighted not to see all their wheat go into insipid industrial breads. Because there are trendy bakeries and then there are those we like to call "neighbourhood bakeries". Renard is one of these, and has been in the heart of this popular district of Ixelles for over a quarter of a century. The philosophy of respect for quality has not changed! The range of sourdough breads is impressive (with a special mention for the special weekend breads) and the range of individual pastries is most tempting!

After having worked for many years at the ice-cream parlour in Bruges and Aunt Marie in Damme, Dany and Jorgen opened this charming tea room. Here you can enjoy a good, light and affordable lunch or your snack around a good ice cream, pancake or hot chocolate. But above all, you will taste the fabulous cake "le merveilleux" traditional from the North of France and Flanders. Made from meringues coated with whipped cream, it is available in a variety of flavours. Other cakes are also available à la carte.

One of the oldest and best bakers in the city since 1935. Three outlets, a workshop in Koekelberg and a huge choice of breads, pastries and cakes. As well as homemade ice creams and lots of sweets such as chocolate, macaroons, speculoos, etc. And then there are surprise breads that open the ball to a high quality catering service. These pastries are proof that sweet and salty go hand in hand. The queue is often long and it is well worth it... Two other shops in Jette and Woluwe-Saint-Pierre.

The first historical store of the family business Chocolat Dumon. In 1996, Stephan's mother opened this first store located at the Eiermarkt in the city center. A typical and unique medieval architecture, where you will find the famous handmade chocolates and pralines of this Bruges institution. The quality that has made the reputation of this master chocolatier endures over time, for the pleasure of our taste buds. An important landmark for travelers from all over the world who come to visit Bruges the Beautiful.
