    Normally we tend to avoid shopping malls and never visit them on our travels unless they convey a sense of the local culture or are particularly interesting from an architectural point of view. That is not the case of the recently refurbished City 2 mall in Brussels. But sometimes we just need a convenient place like City 2 to snatch up clothes, toys, books (FNAC), a mobile phone or the right disposable vacuum bags (at Van den Borre or Handyman). With restaurants still closed due to Covid-19 the food court downstairs offers a good choice of takeaway food. Public transportation is just around the corner.

    Why a TA contributor's recent rant (in French) against a particular shop assistant at a particular shop (FNAC) would be accepted as a ‘review’ of the whole City 2 shopping mall is a mystery to us.

    You'll remember this chocolate long after you've returned home, it's that good. Stopped at a few different leading chocolate shops and Elisabeth Chocolate was a standout. I'm coveting the rest of the box for myself... My family can have the chocolate from the other shops. 😘

    Love the wellcom of Jérôme Grimonpon.
    Try a chocolate paste on a fresh bread or a black chocolate bar.
    When you enter this shop the smel is surprime.
    Thus is the paradise of chocolate

    Delicious and decadent chocolates! We discovered this independent chocolate shop while on a guided tour. We were so happy to discover this little gem of a store. We went back to purchase chocolates to take home. Try the lemon chocolates!

    Awesome selection and quite delicious.

    This is a favorite and recommended to us by our private chocolate tour guide.

    We enjoyed each piece we purchased and even got some extras for the trip home. It is quite delicious.

    Maison Dandoy is a Speculoos cookie specialist with a history that dates back to 1829. They have a handful of branches around Brussels including this place along Rue au Beurre near Grand Palace. Opening hours are 10am to 7pm daily.

    We stopped by during a recent visit to Brussels and picked up a bag of speculoos biscuits to enjoy in our hotel room. Enjoyed the plain, covered with dark chocolate and the pain d'amandes as well. These were all good to have with a cup of coffee back in our home.

    Have enjoyed Dandoy purchases during the past couple trips through Brussels. Will very likely stop here again during future visits to the city to enjoy their speculoos biscuits.

    Of all the chocolate shop chains in Brussels La Belgique Gourmande must be the best, the only one whose interiors resemble a set from 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory'. I visited the shop in Rue de la Colline, just off the Grand Place, during the evening after dinner (the shop is open until 11pm). There were piles and piles of chocolate in baskets, chocolate sheets on counters, beautiful chocolate tin boxes shaped like houses, and an eye-watering selection of gourmet chocolates that you could buy individually by mixing and matching according to fancy. I had half-dozen dark and white chocolates filled with coffee, champagne, almond, coconut and other delights. And I can vouch for the fact that the quality of chocolate sold in Belgium is far higher than in many other countries. For one, they tasted richer and homemade.
    The staff were very friendly, asking if I needed anything as soon as I started browsing, but not pushy, and the prices were fair considering the food quality. I would definitively recommend the place to experience real Belgian chocolate if you are either in Brussels--where there are five shops--or Bruges--where there are three.
