Just walked into this chocolate shop to look for a snack. The man working there rudely asked me if…read moreI had any business there. I said I was browsing, and he told me that was not allowed. Seriously. He said "no looking, leave." I asked how I was supposed to buy something if I couldn't browse, but he just kept repeating I couldn't look around. He was extraordinarily rude, so I walked out after signing to him that he was #1. I didn't get a chance to taste the chocolate, but I'm assuming it leaves a bitter aftertaste, just like the douche working there. I'm hoping my review will encourage others to avoid giving this place their business. Edit: I found La Chocolaterie in the square on the corner of Place Marceau and Place Du Cygne. The staff there was extremely friendly and the chocolates were delicious.

This is a lovely shop with a kind and helpful proprietor. The tea we purchased was delightful!read more

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.
