Tradition

For generations, Sukerbuyc has been a part of Bruges’ rich chocolate culture. We continue this tradition today, creating chocolates that bring joy with every bite.

Meet our team.

Step into our cozy shop, where chocolate is more than just a treat - it’s a family tradition. Elise, the third-generation, continues the legacy started by her grandparents in 1977, who devoted over 40 years to perfecting the art of chocolate-making. Chef Kristoff, trained under their watchful eye, now works alongside Elise to craft pralines that honor the past while embracing new flavors and ideas. 

 

Our chef’s expertise goes beyond Sukerbuyc. As a former vice president of the Chocolate Guild and a Belgian chocolate ambassador at the World Expos in Shanghai & Milan, he has proudly represented the craftsmanship and heritage of Belgian chocolate on a global stage. As a founder  of the 'Brugsch Swaentje', available in our shop, his passion and skill shine through in every creation.

Artisanal Chocolate

At Sukerbuyc, every piece of chocolate is a reflection of passion and precision. We stay true to time-honored recipes, using only the finest ingredients to create pralines that are rich in taste and history. Our handcrafted chocolates bring together the depth of tradition with a modern touch, offering something both familiar and exciting for every chocolate lover.

Gault&Millau

Our dedication to craftsmanship has been recognized by Gault&Millau, earning us a place among the 'Finest Chocolatiers in Belgium & Luxembourg.' This acknowledgment reflects our commitment to quality, tradition, and the artistry of chocolate-making - values that have been at the heart of Sukerbuyc for generations.

​

Yet, our greatest reward isn’t in awards or accolades - it’s in the joy of every customer who takes a bite of our chocolate. Whether you’re stepping into our shop in Bruges, breathing in the aroma of fresh pralines, or indulging in our creations from afar, you become part of our story. Each piece we craft is made with care, passion, and the desire to create moments of pure delight.

In January 2020, our shop got a full makeover, but don’t worry, the soul of Sukerbuyc remains the same! We wanted bring some Parisian charm to Bruges, which is why you’ll find elegant Art Deco details and our signature black-and-white tiles adding a timeless touch. Our deep burgundy red, the color of Sukerbuyc for generations, now shines even brighter, a tribute to our family’s legacy. The best way to experience it? Step inside, take it all in, and, of course, taste the chocolate!

At Sukerbuyc, freshness and top quality always come first. Unlike mass production, we focus on crafting our chocolates in small batches, ensuring every piece meets our highest standards. From the careful selection of ingredients to the finishing touches by hand, our dedication to quality sets us apart from other chocolatiers.
