The best chocolatiers Canada

Founded in 1979 in Lauzon, this chocolate factory has been going strong ever since, to the point where it has made its mark all over Quebec, as well as in Ontario and British Columbia. One of its first hits, ice cream dipped in real chocolate, is still a firm favorite, but since then the company has developed a whole range of succulent products, including chocolate fondue, dessert bowls and a host of other chocolate delights. Note that this branch is close to the Chaudière Falls park.

For chocolate lovers, it's impossible to miss this gourmet address. In their small store in the Distillery Historic District, you can see the treats being made before your eyes. The hot chocolate is a marvel; so are the cookies, truffles, butter toffees and gelati! It's simple, everything here is delicious and made with love. One of the best places in town to "sweeten your mouth", as the Quebecers say. Other locations on King Street West (near Spadina) and on Brock Avenue (Parkdale neighborhood).

Housed in a residence over 200 years old, this boutique will charm you with its chocolate fragrances. The quality raw materials come from Belgium, and the chocolate factory transforms them into excellent products that are distributed to local businesses or sold on site. The truffles are a must (we've tried every flavor), and the sorbets and homemade ice creams are also worth a detour. A must for all gourmets!

The team at Chocolaterie La Cabosse d'Or makes praline and chocolate using traditional methods. In addition to the many succulent treats on offer at the boutique, there's a museum with a window on the workshop, a chocolate mini-golf course, a counter serving homemade ice creams and sorbets, and a garden terrace. An unmissable gourmet stop that promises some sweet tastings and purchases!

Now housed in the former general store, this chocolate shop is a temple to sinfulness. The chocolates are mainly ganaches, dipped with a fork, as well as truffles, caramels, spreads and other homemade delights. We could not fail to mention the chocolate desserts, ice creams, mini pancakes and tutti quanti, not to mention the sweet or savory breakfasts. Lodging available (two apartments for weekly rental).

Once a confectionery, the Trappists became owners in 1944 before officially incorporating the chocolate factory in 1978. Its reputation now extends beyond the borders of the region, and people come from far and wide to obtain their delicacies, especially the dark chocolate-covered blueberries, the monastery's flagship product. The place is part of the Artisans à l'oeuvre network, so you can enjoy a real interpretation experience on site.
