👏🏻 🍾 🍫 

For the seventh time, Gault&Millau presents its selection of the best chocolatiers in its annual chocolatiers' guide. Our Concept Chocolate chocolate factory is proudly one of these new members for this seventh edition of the 2023 chocolatiers' guide.

The unique feature of this chocolate factory, created by Maxime Pliester, lies in its production of personalized chocolate and its focus on tourism. The workshop boutique was designed with this in mind, with groups regularly visiting the premises to discover the various aspects of chocolate making: ingredients, origin, cocoa cultivation, product range, etc. Participants can even work in the workshop to show their artistic skill and creativity.
In addition to creating personalized products, the chocolatier and his team offer a wide range of products, including excellent grand cru chocolate bars, various pralines among which the salted butter caramel and chestnut or the peanut praline are particularly noteworthy. Homemade ice cream can be enjoyed at the neighboring Jalou tea room.

About the Gault&Millau Chocolatier Guide 2023:

This year, no less than 123 chocolatiers from Belgium and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg have been selected. These chocolatiers represent more than 173 shop addresses. As always, the selection was made based on several anonymous and objective tastings. The Gault&Millau team proceeded in the same way as for the restaurant guide: completely independently, without commercial or other interests. Tastings were carried out based on the visual and taste characteristics of each item sampled.
The 2023 Chocolatier Guide has 108 pages and costs 14.95 euros on shop.gaultmillau.be (free shipping). The complete selection is available online at www.gaultmillau.be and at www.chocolatierpatissier.be.
