Local Pricing Context

A box of Belgian chocolates in Bruges costs €8–15 for artisan quality or €15–30 for premium chocolatiers. Bruges has dozens of chocolate shops, but quality varies enormously. The Chocolate Line (by Dominique Persoone) and Dumon are top artisan shops with genuinely excellent pralines at fair prices. Leonidas — Belgium's most ubiquitous brand — costs €8–12 for a small box and is good but mass-produced. The trap for tourists is the €5 souvenir boxes sold at every gift shop near Markt square — these are not real Belgian chocolate and taste like it. Real Belgian pralines use fresh cream and should be eaten within 2–3 weeks. If buying as gifts, ask chocolatiers for vacuum-sealed boxes for longer shelf life. The best time to buy is in the morning when shops have the freshest selection.
