Discover more about Laurent Gerbaud

Laurent Gerbaud offers a unique chocolate experience in the heart of Brussels, located just steps from Mont des Arts. Unlike traditional Belgian chocolates, Gerbaud's creations emphasize less sugar and incorporate spices and exotic fruits, reflecting his time in China. Laurent Gerbaud's journey began with studies in medieval history and evening classes in chocolate making. A trip to China profoundly influenced his approach, leading him to create chocolates that are less sweet and more focused on natural flavors. His shop on Rue Ravenstein provides a modern, bright space where visitors can explore these innovative flavor combinations. Gerbaud's chocolates stand out due to their unique blends of beans from Madagascar and Ecuador, combined with ingredients like salty nuts and dried fruit. The shop's design includes Chinese bamboo steamers for displaying chocolates, and the logo features a Chinese character for "chocolate", further highlighting the Eastern influence. Chocolate-making workshops are also offered.
