The best chocolatiers Toulouse

Place de l'Estrapade, in the Saint-Cyprien district, is a store that Toulousans love: gourmet, friendly and surprising. Gourmet, of course, because it's first and foremost a chocolatier. And friendly, because it's also a hot chocolate lounge! So take the time to savour a cup as you watch the master craftsmen at work in their workshop behind the glass roof. Surprisingly, Cacao Fages also features a gallery. A photo exhibition, you think? Not at all: chocolate sculptures are on display! Brothers Jérémy and Sylvain Fages are at the helm of this beautiful store, and will be delighted to welcome you with a smile and advise you on your purchases.

Maison Castan was founded by René Castan in 1989. Claire Castan has now taken up the torch to perpetuate the tradition. The values passed on by this fine chocolate factory remain unchanged: quality products are carefully handcrafted to tantalize our taste buds! Specialties include Cabosse gingembre, Salidou, Coeur Provençal, Framboisissimo and even Toulousaine, with figs, honey and walnuts...

We come here to heal our feelings with... chocolate. Its aromas mingle delicately with the scent of the dried flowers that adorn the boutique. A spirit of herbalist's shop, but where gourmandise is the first ingredient. Besides, cocoa is rich in magnesium and vitamin E, isn't it? Elegant boxes, illustrated by Maison Durand, founded in 1987, can be filled with your choice of 41 numbered chocolates with ganache infused with no colorants or essential oils. The confectionery section plays the nostalgia card with rochers, mendiants, fruit jellies... As for the bars, only pure cocoa of various origins, no almonds or hazelnuts.

Criollo, whose workshop has been based in Lanta since 2022, has two stores in Toulouse: Victor Hugo and Place St-Etienne. Lovers of chocolate and pure cocoa will appreciate the finesse of the small bites concocted by Jean-Pierre Dujon-Lombard and his colleagues. And you'll never get bored, as the menu changes with each new encounter and collaboration. Saveur de Quiberon, Fruit de Raguse, Délice de Justine or Souvenir d'enfance...

The town of Toulouse is fortunate to welcome one of the seven French shops of the master chocolate chocolate Lindt. You will discover in this boutique that, chocolate a space entirely dedicated to the greedy. You will, of course, find the main classics signed Lindt, but also many delicate innovations and avant. In Easter and Christmas, you will be able to propose products that you will not find anywhere else: chocolate decorations, limited edition tablets, box, fondue chocolate ready for use, papillotes, stuffed fabrics… In winter you will be able to enjoy a delicious hot chocolate made home, and in summer a tasty ice cream in Lindt chocolate. At the time of your arrival in the shop, a chocolate tasting is immediately offered!

Perhaps you have already visited the Chocolate Workshop in the city of Bayonne, for a beautiful immersive visit behind the scenes of these enchanting taste buds. You then know what gourmet delicacies await you in this shop near the Victor-Hugo market! If not, your Petit Futé warmly invites you to visit this shop/workshop. Side by side with rocks and other delicacies, chocolate leaves are made before your eyes, available in many varieties: dare to use Espelette chilli pepper chocolate! Perplexed by the choice? Ask for advice: the team, very friendly, is always ready to give you a taste of what you don't know.

The Pillon chocolate factory has been in business since 1967. Three generations of Toulousans have enjoyed its top-of-the-range chocolate collections, enhanced by a demanding selection of crus. The Pavé du Capitole, a Carupano dark ganache with Piedmont hazelnut praline and a few cubes of orange, is the city's signature chocolate. It has contributed to the house's reputation! Two downtown boutiques: rue Ozenne and rue d'Austerlitz. The good news is that they also serve as tea rooms. For gourmets living on the outskirts of Toulouse, four boutiques in Blagnac, Tournefeuille, Castanet and L'Union offer an identical range of delicacies.

Does Cacao Fages ring a bell? It's probably because you already know the store in the Quartier St-Cyp. Here, the appointment is with Place Saint-Georges. Previously occupied by the Castan chocolatier, the boutique is part of a fine story of continuity. A palace of delights using the same codes as the parent company, l'Estrapade: a gallery of large-format sculptures made entirely of... chocolate! Animals, characters, nature - there's no shortage of inspiration. A wonderful second life for out-of-date chocolates. But most of all, you'll come for the delicious cocoa puffs and hot chocolate. So let yourself be tempted, guilt-free!

Among the loggias of the Victor-Hugo market, De la Fève au Palais defines itself as a "globe-trotter of flavors". Also based on the outskirts of Toulouse, this artisan chocolatier creates hand-crafted products that bring back childhood memories: praline bears, cat's tongues and melt-in-your-mouth balls sit alongside classics such as mendiants, ganache bites and kirsch cherries. In homage to the pink city, discover the postcard bar, 100% dark chocolate with Capitole, Airbus, Saint-Sernin, Pont Neuf and the Languedoc cross in relief. All the symbols are there. A gift idea that will make an excellent souvenir of your stay.

In Toulouse (marché Victor-Hugo), L'Union and Saint-Orens, succumb to the temptation of goodness with new blends or revisited classics. For each of Benjamin Authié's creations, only tasty, flavorful products are used. In keeping with his commitment to the environment, he has chosen to work with local producers. The patisserie, opened in 2009, saw the creation of the "Paris-Toulouse" inspired by the Paris-Brest but with violet! To be enjoyed without moderation.

Master artist Sébastien Bello's home is the chocolatier's den. Multiple award-winner: Award du Chocolat CCC in 2015 and 2020, Award International du Chocolat 2016 and 2017. Flavors, finesse, not too much sugar. In the cookie department: crunchy almonds, dark chocolate cake, macaroons with multiple, beautifully colored ganaches. In the ice cream aisle: bacio, nata, coffee, pistachio for those with a sweet tooth, fruit-flavored sorbets (strawberry, raspberry, mango, etc.). Genuine artisanal ice creams with no coloring (which is why they are not very colorful, but natural shades) and quality products. Taste and high standards are part of the Bello & Angeli identity.
