Yelp Review 2026 #181:
Alain Ducasse has amassed 21 Michelin stars and has restaurants in Asia, Europe, and the US. From successful restaurants, he has ventured out to artisanal coffee and chocolates.
I was minding my own business when I stumbled upon Le Chocolat Alain Ducasse while walking around Nice. I've had so many places in Nice bookmarked especially restaurants, dessert spots and chocolate shops.
They have gelato, pralines, chocolate bars, macarons, chocolate for baking, and coffee. I grabbed a few boxes of chocolates to bring home and an assortment of macarons for my plane ride to Switzerland.
Pralines and chocolates:
High-quality ingredients. Being in Switzerland for a long time and then coming here for chocolates...it's tough to compare. I'd have to say Alain Ducasse chocolate places 2nd compared to my favorite Swiss chocolate. 4.5/5
Macarons:
Chocolate & Grue, Pure Passion, Hazelnut Praline, Pistachio Praline, Raspberry & Hibiscus, Espresso Coffee, and Three Vanillas are the flavors I picked. So, basically, the only flavor I didn't get was citron. Not a huge fan of citrusy desserts/ cookies. My favorite out of all were Hazelnut Praline, and Pistachio Praline. The Three Vanillas I only got for the heck of it but I was surprised how good it was! I took a bite of each one during a flight to Switzerland and saved the rest for my flight to Canada 2 days later. Amazingly enough, the quality was still the same. Lightly crunchy with a creamy and rich center. 5/5
There was only one person working at this shop but she was helpful and friendly enough. There's quite some space in the store. read more
