Debotté, a Nantes institution for three generations, a must for visitors, and still loved by the people of Nantes! The store on the Quai de la Fosse still amazes with its woodwork, chandeliers, friezes and scales classified as national heritage. Today, the two brothers have taken over: if Gérald is the chocolate maker, Josselin is the pastry chef. They have collected and preserved the paternal secrets of these strong and refined chocolates whose aromas seem to be part of the decor. Among the specialties of the house, the Mascaron, a dark chocolate rock filled with a crunchy praline and milk chocolate puff, created at the time when these mythological figures bloomed on rich facades to ward off evil spirits! Its magical power still seduces gourmets... Among the new products, try the Espelette pepper ganache with its heart of strawberry jelly, the 4 flavors sticks and the matcha tea chocolate. You will also find the famous berlingots from Nantes, and the Muscadet nantais which combines marinated grapes and dark chocolate. Josselin has inherited the family gift. His "pièce montée" is soft and light. You can taste his macaroons, Nantes cakes and other delicacies in the salons of the rue de Budapest or the rue Crébillon. Don't forget to buy your tea and coffee in the store on rue Copernic. And from now on, Debotté's homemade bread is also a beautiful baguette to take away! And in 2022 new ! the Mascaron pie is born : Breton shortbread, Mascaron with hazelnuts (Piedmont), dark chocolate ganache and dark chocolate plate ! Several formats exist, in stores or on order. We love this institution... When the weather is fine, you can also discover our homemade vacherin and other sweet treats!

Je recommande
inadmissible !! je veux bien mettre le prix mais il faut que la qualité suive !!
Pour vous dire j'ai fait une dégustation à l'aveugle avec mes parents entre un lapin de la marque Lindt et un morceau de moulage d'un oeuf de paques Debotté, je n'ose meme pas vous donner le verdict.
Je ne suis peut etre pas sympa dans ce massage mais je suis tellement déçue qu'il fallait que je m'exprime.
Attention il y a d'autres confiseurs sur la place de Nantes !
Merci de m'avoir lu.
