Leonidas is a Belgian chocolatier, and one of the few whose shopfront you recognise before you have read the sign. It opened in Belval Plaza II on Thursday 1 October 2026, two weeks after the centre announced it alongside Devred.

The model is the one the brand has always run on: chocolates sold loose by weight and made up into a ballotin at the counter, alongside ready-made boxes and the seasonal ranges.

The timing matters. A chocolate shop opening in October is opening for the gift season. Saint Nicolas falls on 6 December and Christmas follows, and those few weeks are what a chocolatier’s year is built around.

It is not the first Leonidas in Esch. There is already a counter inside the Cactus at Lallange, on rue de Mondercange, which is where this errand has meant going until now.

Local tip: Belval Plaza is closed on Sundays. The Leonidas counter inside the Cactus at Lallange is not: it opens at eight and runs until one.
