Philippe Bel has divinely created chocolates which were my favorites out of a number of chocolatiers I went to recently while in Europe. Plus, the woman helping me here was very nice and extremely patient with my struggling French. No question I would come back here for more when next in Lyon.

Wow! It's all I can say after trying some treats…read more Philippe Bel is one of 19 MOFs in chocolate in the world - an incredibly prestigious achievement. His shop is a reflection of all his years of studying the art of chocolate and candy. Everything in his chocolates are made by his shop - not purchased. The caramels melt in your mouth and are full of flavor. I adored the cassis (black currant) flavor. The chocolates are beautiful and touted as some of the best in the world, yet not badly priced. I was thrilled with my experience and highly recommend you stop in to taste (and buy) some delights!

Not as focused on the purity of beans as many modern artisans such as Dandelion, Rogue, Mast, or Vegas' own HeXX, but instead offering a full line of truffles, caramels, candies, and confections in addition to both single origin and blended bars the experience at Bernachon can almost feel like a spiritual one as a the staff steps softly while speaking in light tones, but once the guest is finally ready to order it is with great knowledge of both product and process that questions are answered, my eventual order probably not quite normal as a solo tasting of chocolates really is not something I'm into, though the five tasted were indeed quite special, a boozy rum tablet and chocolate lacquered biscuit particularly smooth and refined. Progressing to pastries, something for which high hopes were held given the quality of cakes at Paul Bocuse, it was in five petit-fours that the majority of 11.20€ was invested and although the Mille-Feuille came off far too soggy at 14h30 the rest of the items proved well concocted with flavors aplenty, the choux-based éclair and cream puff offering a clean break over cream fillings while the pecan tartlette and baba au rhum were each unique in their own way - the former trending bitter and nutty in a city where pink pralines are far more common while the yeast-cake's cream center offered both balance and texture amidst lightly spiced rum.
