People can't stop raving about chocolate shop that's 'better than Willy Wonka's factory'

If you've ever dreamed of stepping into the pages of a Roald Dahl book and visiting Willy Wonka's chocolate factory to gorge on chocolate goodies, then we might have found you something even better.

Or at least, that's what the people who have been there are saying.

We're talking about a factory outlet shop for the chocolate manufacturer Neuhaus, which is located in Brussels.

A Twitter user named Jon Stone recently posted about the dreamy place, revealing that as well as being able to buy incredible boxes of chocolates while there, visitors are also able to sample as many of the sweets as they want - and it's completely free to do so.

Yes, really!

 

Jon tweeted photos from inside the outlet, saying: "I don't want to alarm anyone but at the end of Brussels metro line 5 there's a factory outlet for chocolate maker Neuhaus and you can literally 'try' (eat) as much as you like for free."

One of his photos shows off trays and trays of different types of chocolate laid out for people to try, while the other image shows a sign in the outlet, which reads: "Here you can taste our chocolate to your heart's content.

"However, we urge you not to take these samples home (only full, closed boxes are sold), and not to open closed boxes."

Hundreds of people have liked and shared his post, with some saying they thought it sounded like "paradise".

And according to visitors over on TripAdvisor, who have reviewed the outlet, that's exactly what the place is like.

One user gave it a five star rating and claimed the experience of going to Neuhaus outlet shop "beats Willy Wonka any day".

They added: "Perfect place to taste the Neuhaus products before purchasing. Fabulous place to stock up on gifts for those special people on your list. All the customers are smiling."

A different person said: "Other than the opportunity to make great deals buying a variety of discounted chocolate, you get the chance to taste everything. A must do experience!"

A third wrote: "This is THE PLACE for chocolate lovers, you can taste all products and buy them at a very convenient price, I recommend Neuhaus factory shop to every traveler visiting Brussels."
