They have really interesting flavors (figue, mirabelle, cassis) using in local fruits in season but also exotic fruits (lemons from the philippines) from around the world. The young lady who's there most of the time is very friendly , always willing to explain away and her English is very good. It definitely warrants a 25 mn detour on the way to/from Giverny and the drive is really nice.

I am not going to say that it is the best chocolate I have ever had, but it is damned close. Absolutely exquisite. The perfect souvenir to bring home for yourself, family and friends. Try to have some restraint and not eat it all while in Paris!

I purchased 3 bars: one for myself and two as gifts. I am eating the Ecuador 70%. I wish I could've sampled the chocolates in the store to know which ones I should buy. This one is a 7/10. I've had better chocolates. This one is a little waxy almost. Doesn't melt super well. Is sweeter than expected and I'm not picking up the notes very well. The staff were friendly and explained about the chocolates when I asked. We were offered a sample and I asked if they had hazelnuts so my friend with an allergy couldn't have it. The store was cool inside with chocolate sculptures. I enjoyed Chapon Chocolate a bit better!

I had tried macaroons in France and in the US, but I had never been impressed. The macaroon from la Maison du Chocolat was so light and just melted in my mouth, "lighter than the air" as they say. I'm going back to get more! Highly recommended! ***************************** If you found something useful in my review, please hit "useful" so that I can improve my future reviews.

I came across Chocolat Ilene boutique on a Montmartre Walking tour. The fact that the walking guide…read more(a longtime French chef) recommended her shop speaks highly of the chocolates. A Korean woman is the chocolatier and she is obviously skilled at chocolate artistic sculpture for festive events. But it is her fine chocolates that dominate the candy case - which catch my eyes. I find an Asian sensibility pleasing in the variety of filling/flavor choices. After having several samples of chocolates and a house made macaron, I bought an assorted chocolate box. Yum! The boutique itself is like a small candy box filled with treats - nice ambiance. With the lab in the back, the chocolates are as fresh as can be. Next time I'm in the Montmartre neighborhood, I'll be stopping by again!

I loved getting to support a small local business and hearing the history of the sisters who opened the shop. The macarons that we tried here were hands-down the best that we ate during our trip to Paris and the chocolate was top-notch. I thoroughly enjoyed the unique combination of flavors, especially the black sesame macaron. Skip the larger chain shops and come try Chocolat Illèné.
