BEST HOT CHOCOLATE SPECIALTY CAFÉ IN BRUSSELS - THE UNUSUAL
You're in Brussels. The chocolate capital of the world. So when you order a hot chocolate here, it should be something special. At The Unusual on rue Montagne aux Herbes Potagères, 49, Bruxelles, it is.
Our hot chocolate is made with real Belgian chocolate — not powder from a packet, not a syrup pump. Actual chocolate, melted and mixed with steamed milk until its rich, creamy, and thick enough to coat a spoon. Its the kind of hot chocolate that makes you close your eyes and forget you have a to-do list.
We have a wide range of Chocolates to choose from, dark, very dark, milk, ruby or Caramel,...whether you like it sweet, bitter or fruity, we got you covered. We get people asking "where's the best hot chocolate in Brussels?" and "real hot chocolate near Grand Place?" all the time. The answer is a two-minute walk from Central Station. Come to rue Montagne aux Herbes Potagères, order a hot chocolate from our signature menu or build your very own hot chocolate, and see for yourself.
This is Brussels. You can get chocolate everywhere. But a lot of the "hot chocolate" in tourist spots around Ilôt Sacré and Grand Place is made from mix. Ours isnt. We use proper Belgian chocolate because we live here and we have standards, especially when it comes to Chocolate.
WHY CHOOSE THE UNUSUAL
Choose your milk: regular dairy makes it classic and indulgent. Oat milk adds a nice sweetness. Coconut milk gives it something lighter and a little tropical. All work, all delicious.
Best pairing? A hot chocolate and one of our fresh croissants. Or a cookie. Or some hot chocolate toppings. Or honestly just the hot chocolate by itself — its rich enough to feel like a dessert.
On cold Brussels days — which, lets be real, is about 300 days a year — our hot chocolate is the most comforting thing you can hold in your hands. Locals from les Marolles and Sainte-Catherine come specifically for it. Tourists who find us on Google stay for the whole experience.
