In this video, I take you on a chocolate tour through Bruges, Belgium, tasting my way through nine of the city’s most talked-about chocolate shops.

As a pastry chef and chocolatier, I’m looking at more than just sweetness — flavour balance, technique, originality, and whether the chocolate lives up to the reputation. From traditional Belgian pralines to modern, boundary-pushing flavours, this Bruges chocolate tour is an honest look at where to go (and what’s worth your time).

If you’re planning a trip to Bruges, love chocolate travel, or want to know where to find the best chocolate in Bruges, this guide will help you cut through the hype.
