Tucked away on a side street in a small seaside town, Couleur Chocolat is the classic hidden gem…read more Stopped by on our adventures in the Gaspe region, and glad we did. Their chocolate is sublime - smooth, delicate, flavourful. We got quute a number of things, from their standard chocolate bars (dark chocolate rice bark, dark chocolate with raspberry and toasted nori) to their truffles (mix and match pre-packaged pairs, thei special "forest" collection series). While definitely on the expensive side, this is one of those times that it was worth it. The thing that stood out besides the sublime quality of the chocolate was how they were trying to be inventive, not in a gimmicky way, but in an exploratory one. They had a couple of "posters" up that explained their process. One talked about the blending if the artistry with math and science (chemistry) to make their chocolates. The other talked about how they drew inspiration from the region to get their flavours. And I'm a sucker for this - I love people who experiment, and I love people who look outwards and try to promote their communities. So Couleur Chocolat, you definitely had me at hello.

Location: Tucked away on a residential street in Sainte-Anne-des-Monts…read more The place: The space is quite small and smells delicious. The goods: They have several varieties of chocolate on offer: ganaches in different flavours, bars (milk, dark), stuffed bars (i.e. passion fruit ganache) as well as other creative offerings. I purchased a box of 18 + a pack of fruit ganaches, a bar with passion fruit filling + one with yuzu, a milk chocolate bar and Whippets! Well, they reminded me of Whippets - they were two lovely domes of dark chocolate covering raspberry on cookie bottoms. So good! Service: Good. Price point: On par with other good chocolatiers. I am thrilled they deliver =-D
