Hot Chocolate like- Whoa.

I don't like being that person who swears they know "THE BEST" of anything. 
It sets you up to be either a know it all or questioned on your tastes critically. Neither of which interest me.
So as I begin this post, I will say that we discovered what is to me, some damn good hot chocolate here in Bruges. To confirm this statement  I took a girlfriend that was recently visiting to see if she too found it as yummy as we did.

De Proeverie Tearoom is located on Katelijnestraat. It's a very touristy street, one of the canal tour  companies operates right next store.   

This adorable little shop usually showcases it's perfectly frosted cupcakes in the window and has just the right amount of pastel without being too tacky. Inside you will find lovely pastries, delicately placed inside the counter. There's a fireplace and a bigger room in the back for busier days. 
Also, a  HUGE plus, they are open on Sundays.  
The chocolate they use for this decadent treat is from their chocolaterie, Sukerbuyc, directly across the street.  It must be said that they are not too friendly over there at the chocolate shop and have strict rules about the chocolate buying, like, no individual chocolate picking or something. 
 But, a little bit of cranky can be ignored after you've been sipping away to your hearts content,  high on hot chocolate served from the friendly staff at De Proeverie. 


We sit ourselves down, shed our layers and order up 3 gorgeous hot chocolates. ( I'm really bringing the adjectives today!)

After you stare at this mesmerizing display of rich chocolate for a few beats you begin the mixing process.

YUM!

They actually serve this with a cube of sugar which is beyond my comprehension. It doesn't lack sweetness, so please whatever you do, don't touch that sugar cube.

No Chocolate Left Behind!

Clean Mug Club. Good til the last drop.

In the end, it was decided by all that this was indeed the most absolutely delicious and, to us, possibly "best " hot chocolate we'd ever had.  
And if you need any more convincing, they claim it to be "world famous " on their website. 
 Saves me from being the know it all!
