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!

A highlight of a recent Paris trip was a guided secret food tour in Monmartre, and a highlight of…read morethat highlight was a visit to Christophe Roussel. our guide said that when the proprietors name is on the storefront, great care is taken to maintain quality as their reputation at stake. Also, when the storefront is black, it indicates that they have chosen not to invest little in marketing, but rather to allow the products quality to speak for the shop. Just finished the last of an Oranges Confites chocolate bar that I've been saving. I have to go back.

This isn't a gimmick- it's the best chocolate I've ever had. I wish I bought some more and might order more of this online because it's that good.

We happened to go on Valentine's Day so, even though it was raining, there was a steady stream of people coming in to pick up last minute gifts. We purchased some dark chocolate bars, marzipan and hazelnut chocolate treats and they were all delicious. The shop itself was so cute and felt like stepping back in time. Really loved the whole vibe and will hopefully be back!

What could be better than selecting a box full of chocolate ganache or pralines in a Parisian…read morechocolate shop? La Maison du Chocolat has several locations in the city. This spot at the Carrousel du Louvre is a full service shop that gives out samples and allows you to build a box rather than just grab a premade assortment from a kiosk. I say this because we walked all over on our last day (wanting to make our own boxes) so we found out where the full-service shops were. The people who work here are very patient and kind while you make your selections. And of course, it's fun to sample the decadent merchandise. I highly recommend the Maracuja (dark chocolate w/ passionfruit pulp ) or the Salvador (dark chocolate ganache w/raspberry pulp). We made the mistake of turning our kids into chocaholics so we had to pay the price and bring them both home a box. Couldn't forget one for ourselves either. Each box comes with a handy picture guide so you can identify the merchandise. Or just pop one in your mouth and be happily surprised.

The BEST!!!!!! Oh…read moreman! I will start by saying that I don't even like macaroons in the United States. They are just dry and nasty most of the time lol But in Paris, I decided to give them a try! And I am glad I did. They tasted so good! Seriously, they were delightful little treats. The inside of the macaroons was moist and flavorful, while the outside had a nice firm texture. So good! I almost ate an entire dozen of those by myself! lol My fiancé was not super motivated to try one (probably because they suck in the US), and I kept telling him how good they are. Finally, he tried one and was shocked at how good it was too! They are not cheap. But worth it for a decent macaroon. I can't eat macaroons in the states now lol Ruined me for life. lol

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.
