Leonidas Port Credit is right on Lakeshore Road East at number 54, in Port Credit. We specialise in premium Belgian chocolate — truffles, pralines and gift ballotins — imported from Belgium.

Belgian chocolate is made to a higher standard — real cream and butter, pure ingredients and no substitutes — and Belgium has set the benchmark for fine chocolate for over a century. Leonidas has followed the same recipes since 1913, which is why the taste and texture are noticeably richer.

Yes. Leonidas chocolate is made in Belgium to the recipes of Leonidas Kestekidis, and we import it to our Port Credit boutique so it arrives just as it's meant to be — authentic Belgian chocolate, the real thing.

Leonidas Port Credit sells Belgian pralines (filled bonbons), truffles, and assorted gift ballotins, in milk, dark and white chocolate. You'll find hazelnut, ganache, caramel and fruit-cream centres, plus seasonal shapes and keepsake boxes.

The signature ballotin of assorted pralines is the classic, and hazelnut pralines and dark-chocolate ganache truffles are perennial favourites. Not sure where to start? We'll happily build you a mixed box of the most-loved pieces.

Yes — Leonidas Port Credit carries milk, dark and white Belgian chocolate across its pralines, truffles and ballotins, so you can choose an assortment or focus on a favourite.

Yes. At Leonidas Port Credit you can build a custom assortment — choose the pieces and box size, and we'll hand-pack it with a ribbon. It's ideal for gifts and for corporate orders.

Our Belgian ballotins come in a range of sizes, from small gift boxes of a few pieces up to large assortments, plus keepsake tins. Tell us the occasion and budget and we'll suggest the right size.

Keep Belgian chocolate in a cool, dry place around 15–18 °C, away from direct sunlight and strong odours. Avoid the fridge — condensation dulls the shine and flavour. Enjoy within a few weeks for the best taste.

Fresh Belgian pralines and truffles are best enjoyed within a few weeks of purchase, while stored cool and dry. Check the best-before date on your box, and buy close to when you'll enjoy or gift them.

No — Belgian chocolate should not be refrigerated. The fridge causes condensation and can leave a whitish bloom on the surface. Store it in a cool, dry spot around 15–18 °C instead.

Hazelnut lovers should try Leonidas's hazelnut pralines and gianduja-style pieces — smooth roasted-hazelnut centres in Belgian chocolate. Ask us in-store and we'll point out every hazelnut piece for your box.

For dark-chocolate lovers, our dark ganache truffles and dark pralines are the pick — intense Belgian dark chocolate with smooth centres. We can build an all-dark ballotin on request.

In the Belgian sense, a praline is a bite-sized filled chocolate — a chocolate shell around a soft centre like ganache, hazelnut praliné, caramel or cream. Leonidas's ballotins are assortments of these pralines.

A praline is a filled chocolate bonbon — a firm chocolate shell around a centre. A truffle is a specific soft confection with a ganache centre, usually coated or dusted. All truffles are a kind of chocolate treat; not all pralines are truffles.

Some individual pieces don't contain nuts, but Leonidas Port Credit is not a nut-free shop — our chocolate is made in facilities that handle nuts and we serve it in a shared space, so we can't guarantee any piece is free from traces. Please take care if you have a nut allergy.
