Well, there's much to say about chocolates in Belgium, and you might want to sample a few for yourself ..just down the street near our home you will be able to taste at least three different chocolate makers (Galler, Neuhaus, and Leonidas).
But none of them come close, in my humble opinion, to the extremely refined chocolates by Pierre Marcolini. There are a few boutiques downtown, I recommend you go the one Place du Grand Sablon, where you will also be able to sample a few other historical brands if you're really into chocolates (Wittamer, Godiva, etc) ...the Pierre Marcolini boutique looks more like a packed jewellery shop than a chocolate shop...on the first floor you usually have to wait, but you can pick and choose your chocolates. On the second floor, it's much faster and may be good for a first visit as they sell packaged little boxes with an assortement of their different "pralines". Enjoy!!
There's even a Marcolini addicts facebook group!! http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=8143454709
