Chapon Chocolatier is an absolute must-visit for chocolate lovers in Paris and easily one of the…read morebest spots for chocolate mousse. We tried the Venezuela 75% mousse, and it was absolutely delicious--rich, smooth, and intensely chocolatey without being overly sweet. The variety is impressive, with different origins like Ecuador and Venezuela offering subtle differences in cocoa intensity, making it feel like a proper tasting experience. Service was friendly, and the staff are happy to guide you through the different chocolate percentages and let you choose based on taste preferences. It's a simple setup, more of a pickup-style boutique rather than a sit-down café. The atmosphere is very much grab-and-go, but it's a perfect stop for picking up treats or gifts. They also have a wide range of chocolates, sauces, and packaged items that make great souvenirs. Highly recommend stopping by if you're anywhere near Rue du Bac--it's one of those places you end up thinking about long after you leave.

Pierre Hermé is a must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth visiting Paris. We purchased an…read moreassortment of macarons, and every flavor was exceptional--beautifully balanced, flavorful, and crafted with incredible attention to detail. What stood out most was how light and delicate the macarons felt. Compared to Ladurée, I found Pierre Hermé's macarons less sweet and lighter in texture, making them easy to enjoy without feeling overly rich. The quality was so impressive that we ended up purchasing several boxes to bring back home as gifts for friends. Service was friendly and efficient, making the experience smooth despite the popularity of the shop. If you're looking for premium macarons in Paris, Pierre Hermé absolutely lives up to its reputation. 5/5 - Delicious, elegant macarons that are lighter and more refined than many others I've tried. Perfect for both indulging yourself and bringing home as gifts.

The best chocolate, caramel, and fruit jelly shop in Paris…read more I've bought other chocolates around Paris and while pretty in color, it didn't meet my expectation. I brought back souvenirs of the chocolate and loved the flavors and the packaging. The staff even wrote expiration date on each of the containers and packaged in cool bags so that it can withstand the flight. Back at home, everything tasted good but it just didn't do justice from what I was able to taste in real time. The chocolate melts in your mouth and had lots of flavor, the jelly is addictingly good, and my favorite was the caramel. It's creamy, soft, and chewy without sticking to your teeth. I regret not getting the 1KG but it was around $200. All the chocolates, jelly, and caramel had variety of delicious flavors and hands down, a must stop in Paris. While waiting, they also have sofas that you can lounge on and saw many tour groups come by, which made me panic since we were waiting on our chocolates getting packaged and waiting to purchase the caramels and jelly. Luckily, most left after a quick briefing on the history, but it also affirmed that this spot was legit. Do note that these don't last long. Chocolates and caramel last 2 weeks and jelly lasts a week. I wouldn't suggest bringing back the jellies since it turned colors during the flight and was sticky.

Visiting the oldest chocolate shop in Paris was at the top of my list, and I immediately sensed the…read moremagic that Marie Antoinette, Napoleon, and many others must have experienced the first time they tasted chocolate from that very same chocolatier. The shop itself was beautiful - the chocolates were displayed like precious jewelry in a glass case. We learned that the shop was modeled after an apothecary because, as legend goes, Marie Antoinette's headaches were cured by a sweet concoction that was later sold as the first chocolate confection. Napoleon also became a fan, and his favorite treat was candied almonds enrobed in a delicate layer of dark chocolate. An attendant shared Debauve et Gallais's rich history with me as I admired the chocolate, and when she offered me a sample, I couldn't resist trying Napoleon's go-to (the chocolate-covered almonds). While shopping, I felt inspired to create a customized box of my own, selecting a variety of pralines, truffles, and bon bons. I enjoyed the chocolates when I was back home, and every piece was exquisite. I'd highly recommend a visit!

Lunch reservations for Pierre Hermé is always a good idea. This one is inside the Bonmarché complex…read more- just walk to the back of the large entryway with all the restaurants We had a small drama over our table as I'm guessing they thought we did not have a reservation so they wanted to seat us by the entrance while all these other tables, in the empty restaurant, had "reserved" signs on them. After pointing out again we also had a reservation, we were seated inside at one of the better tables with the placard & not right beside the door which was constantly opening. So eventually things worked out & all was well The food definitely made up for the table miscommunication as it was over the top delicious. Mr chose the mushroom French toast with mushrooms and hazelnut cream. It was pudding-like and very strong mushroom flavor which was delightful I chose the roasted cauliflower and it was likewise superb. Roasted and marinated cauliflower with yellow florets, pine nuts, pomegranate seeds and puréed cauliflower base. Dessert included 2 passion fruit & a pistachio macaron. Intense flavors, soft cookie Food perfection all around!

Their desserts have a lower price for carry out btw. I ordered the 2000 feuilles, Jardin japonais, strawberry tart and 3 macaroons. For the 2000 feuilles, it's like a Napoleon with hazelnut in between. It somewhat taste like ferrer rocher in a way. It's my favorite out of the 3 since I like hazelnut and it's not too sweet. They also did a really good job with the Napoleon part for the dessert. As for Jardin japonais, it has a matcha flavored top with yuzu cream at the bottom. It's light, not too sweet. I only got a bit from the strawberry tart and it seems alright. Overall, I'll definitely try other things if I come back. Btw, they have some macaroons flavor that you can't find elsewhere
