Choco Story Beirut

Located in Bruges, Paris, Prague, New York, Mexico and Brussels, Choco Story has landed in Beirut, Verdun specifically, to present the region and Lebanese chocolate lovers with an exclusive one-of-a-kind experience.

The chocolate museum prides itself with a unique concept, first of its kind in the Middle East.

Indulge in a sweet experience and get to know the full story behind how chocolate is made. From cocoa farms and cocoa trees to the final chocolate bars you binge on, Choco Story will guide you through the many laborious stages involved in the farming and production of chocolate.

Go back in time and meet the Mayans and the Aztecs, who saw their chocolate drink as a drink from the gods (relatable), discover how the Spanish regarded this thirst-quenching drink, follow the success of the sweet chocolate drink across Europe and learn about why Belgian chocolate is so damn good!

Not only will you relive 5500 years of chocolate history in words, but you’ll get to TASTE it too with “ALL YOU CAN EAT’’ chocolate dispensers found all around the museum. We know what you’re thinking, is this what heaven looks like?

Once you’re done with the tour and can officially identify as a choco-expert, build your own chocolate bar at the Chocotique. Satisfy your sweet tooth, customize your own tablet, and hand-pick your preferred toppings, you can even add a small customized message, ON THE BAR!

If you’re down for some creamy hot chocolate, what better place to have it than at a chocolate museum? Made purely with “Belcolade” or the real Belgian chocolate, the drink boasts a rich chocolate flavor that will keep you coming back for more.

If you would like to take on chocolate making on a more professional scale, you can sign up for their workshops. Available for adults, kids, and corporates, the workshops can be a perfect team-building activity, as well as a fun and educational way to spend some quality time.
