1. Cremerie de Linkebeek, Oude Graanmarkt 4, 1000 Brussels
A grand & tasty cheese shop!
Here I get my lovely cheeses & some “charcuterie” as we say. They also sell lovely filled baguettes at midday. Every working day, at noon, there is a long line of hungry people.
2. Frederic Blondeel: chocolatier, Baksteenkaai 24, 1000 Brussels. It is on the Vismet.
This man is a fantastic chocolatier. He also has a website: http://www.frederic-blondeel.be
He even sells to restaurants & hotels. In his shop, you can buy the pralines,as we call them in Dutch. You can also enjoy a cup of coffee & a dessert.
3. Wittamer: chocolatier, patissier, glacier & caterer. They also have a café to savour the lovely desserts. Grote Zavel 12, 1000 Brussels. I have just bought a box of macaroons. They were delicately flavoured & were delicious ! You can check it out at http://www.wittamer.com
