Arti Choc

Amsterdam


Chocolate is almost too beautiful to eat at this luxury choc stop, with homemade pralines and truffles ready to melt in the mouth. There are over 50 kinds, including gluten-free, cocoa-free and lactose-free varieties with inventive flavours. If you'd like something really unique, it also designs and makes custom chocolates, including clogs, tulips and Delft-blue tiles.

In summer, it serves Monte Pelmo ice cream.
