👏🏻 🍾 🍫 

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

The special feature of this chocolate shop created by Maxime Pliester lies in the production of personalized chocolate and in its focus on tourism. The boutique workshop has been arranged accordingly, with groups regularly coming to visit the place to discover the different aspects of chocolate making: the ingredients, the origin, cocoa cultivation, the product range, etc. Participants can even work in the workshop to demonstrate their artistic skills and creativity.
Alongside the creation of personalized products, the chocolatier and his team offer a wide range of products including excellent grand cru chocolate bars, assorted pralines featuring salted butter caramel and chestnut or a praline peanut bite. The production of homemade ice cream can be enjoyed in the Jalou tea room next to the workshop. 

About the Gault&Millau Chocolatier Guide 2023:

 This year, no fewer than 123 chocolatiers from Belgium and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg were selected. These chocolatiers represent more than 173 shop addresses. As always, the selection was 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. The tastings were carried out based on the visual and taste characteristics of each sampled item.
The 2023 Chocolatiers Guide is 108 pages long and costs 14.95 euros on shop.gaultmillau.be (free shipping). The complete selection is online on www.gaultmillau.be and on www.chocolatierpatissier.be.
