Where to buy bread cakes chocolates ice cream Liège

One of our favorites. Homemade vanilla or orange crepes, traditional bouquettes, mini Liège wafers with butter and pearl sugar, madeleine... We want to try it all. The shop windows and street-side workshops are a real eye-opener. Opposite, bread takes pride of place. Eric, the owner, selects his own cereal crops from a farmer in Liège. Artisanal ice creams and sorbets (2019) and French fries and side dishes (2021) complete the offer.

Here, speculoos are king, and marzipan is emperor. As a guarantee of quality, ancestral recipes have been handed down from father to son for four generations. If there's a not-to-be-missed time of year to come here, it's around St. Nicholas' Day. Around two months before the holidays, several tons of marzipan take on the shape of the man with the long beard and red miter. The whole thing is baked from the inside out, with a thickness that retains its inimitable softness. An address not to be missed!

Michèle Prunier is the mom who, urged on by her son Christophe, opened her chocolate shop in 2018 in Herstal. Christophe and his partner Coralline then left to train with top chefs, before returning to Liège to open a second boutique. Chocolates, macaroons and pastries compete for the counter space. The base is Valrhona fair-trade chocolate. Other ingredients are as local as possible (milk, fruit from local farmers...). Original chocolates are subtly combined with spices, herbs and fruit. A real success!
