Brussels · BRUSSELS CHOCOLATE TOURS & WORKSHOPS
34 reviewed
Brussels runs on praline and couverture, and the good sessions do more than hand you a box. Here are the best chocolate tours and workshops in the city: which put you behind the marble slab to temper your own, which walk the historic houses off the Grand-Place, what each costs and how long you spend with your hands in the chocolate.
