The Romance of Juliette & Chocolat

There was once a Romeo and a Juliet, they fell in love but their feuding families..No, no, no, no need to bring out your tissues! This post isn't going to be about a sad love story. It's actually about a romance that is never ending; the romance of Juliette & Chocolat. I don't know how this love story started but I'm sooo glad it did because if you're looking for the ultimate in the chocolate feasting experience, you do not have to look further than our own Juliette & Chocolat!


With 3 locations in Montreal, this dessert hotspot will be sure to please any crowd.  I discovered the restaurant several years ago when they only had their St. Denis local, on a Saturday night you were even lucky to get a table.  But I have to say that the wait is well worth it especially if you are a chocolate junky like me!

Whether you are in the mood to drink, eat, lick or slurp your chocolate, you can do it all at Juliette & Chocolat. They also offer treats in all types of sweetness, whether you like bitter, milk, dark or white, they got it all.  Non-chocoholics (seriously, what is wrong with you?!) can also find simple items such as sandwiches and soups and multiple savory crepes which are all good.

The menu is quite diverse and includes different types of drinks and the chocolate, ‘grand-mere’ is NOT to be missed.  Served in a small jug and small bowl to pour out, the thick chocolate is almost a spreadable consistency and really nothing compares to it in the city especially on a cold frosty winter day in Montreal.

Brownies of different types are also freshly baked and patiently waiting to be selected by customers.  My favorite without a doubt is the Brownie with Fleur de Sel caramel chunks.  If you have never tasted the perfect balance of sweet, warm, intense chocolate and salty creaminess, you have to try this at Juliette & Chocolat!

The chocolate fondants are also a great choice, served warm, a la mode or not, with either a chocolate or caramel sauce, there is absolutely nothing not to like. Chocolate fondue and dessert crepes are also not-to-miss items on the menu. For sure you will have to go several times to make it through the menu, but I'm sure real chocolate lovers will always find the excuse. Believe me, after one visit Juliette will synonymously be used with Chocolat and not, poor Romeo ;)
