The Chocolate Line is Dominique Persoone's chocolate shop, a family business with a shop on Simon Stevinplein, between the Markt and St Saviour's Cathedral. It is the place to see how far the Belgian praline can go when someone plays with it: flavours you don't expect alongside the classic pralinés.
What to buy
Pralines loose or boxed, with collections that change with the season, and bars of their tree-to-bar chocolate, made with criollo cocoa from their own plantation in Mexico. If you are with children, let them choose by shape; if you are buying a gift, ask them to explain each filling.
When to go
Open every day, bank holidays included: Tuesday to Saturday from 9:30 to 18:30, and Sunday and Monday from 10:30 to 18:30. There is less of a queue in the morning than mid-afternoon.
What to order: a small box of mixed pralines to try the unusual flavours, and a bar of their Mexican criollo cocoa
