The three-day chocolate feast was preceded with a magnificent fashion show the previous evening with outfits made of chocolate.

Themed 'nature offers something to suit all tastes', this year's salon aims to present healthier and more innovative chocolate products made from more diversified sources of raw materials and cocoa beans.

All dresses on display were tailored by fashion designers and pastry chefs, most of them from Belgium's century-old chocolate shops.

Innovative chocolate products attracted visitors and nudged their curiosity.

The best pastry chefs in Belgium and chocolatiers from Peru, Cameron, Ecuador and Dominica, cocoa-producing countries, shared their skills, experiences and knowledge with the scores of chocolate lovers present at the event.

Visitors, especially the young ones, can also enjoy other various activities such as chocolate making, seminars, chocolate sculpture and chocolate books exhibition.
