These are 3 Belgian Hot Chocolates that’ll make your mouth do a backflip...
1. Frédéric Blondeel
This master chocolatier roasts his own cocoa beans in shop - you’d have to go to the Amazon to get a fresher hot choc.Seriously rich, this cup of pure gluttonous joy is for the experienced chocolate fiend.
He’s also a famous praline maker, using unusual herbs and spices to make bizarrely-unique sweets. You’ve come a long way from your Dairy Milk Mint Crisp.
2. L’Ultime Atome
You’ve seen it on Chef’s Table, you’ve read about it in foodie lifestyle magazines - it’s the deconstructed food trend…Yep it got a bit of stick - but no one can deny the beauty in a jar of chocolate drops, a ramekin of fresh cream and a glass of steaming hot milk. L’Ultime Atome owns the deconstructed hot chocolate.
They also do a seriously fruity brunch platter to take the edge off all that choc.
3. Neuhaus
Deep in Brussels’ Galeries Royales, you’ll find a chocolate shop that’s unlike any chocolate shop that came before it…*insert mystical music*
Neuhaus started off as a pharmacy that covered its medicines in chocolate to make them taste better (dangerous little game).
Over time, people were coming back for the chocolate over the meds and so a chocolate shop was born. Inventor of pralines and world famous distributor - you can bet your last rotting tooth that the hot chocolate here is bang on.
Expect a teapot filled with the world’s finest melted chocolate. Get. In. My. Belly.
