The best chocolatiers Dijon

Not to be missed on rue de la Liberté, the boutique of master chocolate maker François Pralus is a delight for lovers of good chocolate. Let yourself be tempted by the delicacies of this craftsman whose professional history began in 1988. You will find chocolates from all over the world in bars or bars and of course the Praluline, an incredible pure butter brioche filled with generous crushed pralines whose recipe is secretly kept. A true ambassador for the house, it is also a real piece of Lyon gastronomy based in Dijon.

The Eiffel bakery and pastry shop, located opposite the Sainte-Chantal church, awakens the street with the colours of its front and the smell of warm bread. It is with all the traditional know-how of Rémi Toux that customers come to enjoy a crunchy and tasty bread. The inhabitants of the Canal district make no mistake about it and come here to buy natural croissants, chocolate breads, brioches or raisin breads. The bakery offers its customers more than thirty varieties of breads, from organic baguettes to cereal breads and delicious special breads. All are baked in the bakery while respecting traditional know-how. For breakfast, think of the Viennese style with its soft, natural crust or chocolate chips. But Remy also excels in sweet sins and thus proposes in his store, many proposals. Ovens, macaroons, chocolates for festive occasions, cakes and pastries and finally ice cream. Don't hesitate to call on the establishment for your birthday cakes and even your wedding accessories!

At the top of the decoration trend, the shop adorned with brown and turquoise makes you want to stop by to see what's hidden in this beautiful setting. Inside, no surprise, Belgian chocolates, true to their reputation, are tasty: pralines, ganaches, mousses, orangettes, cherries, liqueur chocolates, fruit pastes, artisanal dragées or even chocolate squares to accompany coffee. The recipes are creative and you can buy 250 g, 500 g or even one kilo boxes for the most gourmands. With the approach of holidays, such as Easter or Mother's Day, the shop offers new creations and adapts to a demanding demand for quality. Good point: the boxes and gift packages are very neat. Beautiful and good, they are perfect for the taste buds, less for the line. While continuing to stroll around the shopping centre, treat yourself to a chocolate to enjoy, or an Italian-style ice cream: chocolate and pistachio in winter, raspberry sorbets and passion in summer. This year we noticed the cone with its recipe of praline gianduja with hazelnuts and almonds, there are two new recipes, one with an intense taste is the cone with dark chocolate and one with a crispy gianduja... We're losing it!

Jonathan Pautet's boutique is located in the heart of the city, and has one thing in common: its fine, delicate flavors. The staff take the time to advise you and give you details of the tastes, often specifying the origin of the products used. Among the pastry chef's specialties are choux pastries, brightly colored, crisp and melt-in-your-mouth, just the way some people like them. Try the lime.

Chocolate maker-confectioner for over twenty years, Sébastien Hénon has a pretty fine chocolate range with some thirty different delicacies (fruity, marsipan cakes, chocolates, etc.). We particularly like the chocolate almond paste and candied orange cubes, the Kir ganache with its dark chocolate and its pulp of cassis, or the excellent black chocolate flavoured with cinnamon. You can also enjoy the macaroons, they are with salted butter, chestnuts and rum or montmorency and broad bean tonka. Only the evocation of taste offered, you think that Sébastien Hénon earned its title of conjuguor of flavours… During your stay in shop, also discover the mini-madeleines, cookies, a fine selection of chocolate bars as well as the spreads with fruit, hazelnut, caramel or vanilla. The delights of Sébastien Hénon are available today in two shops: enough to satisfy the gourmets, they are small or large! < br/>

The factory shop of the Chocolaterie de Bourgogne is a must. The company has been perpetuating the history of cocoa for two centuries in the Côte d'Or. A factory producing chocolate in many forms and a tailor-made know-how are its assets. In bars, semi-bar, plain or filled, in confectionery, in bars, in nuggets, for baking... Everyone can find what he or she is looking for, especially in dark chocolate chips or snail boxes. The option to buy in bulk is also possible.

Dufoux chocolates is a long story that began in 1960 in Saône-et-Loire and continues in Dijon with this beautiful store located on rue des Forges. In its unmistakable window display in the colors of chocolate and Burgundy blackcurrants, the Dufoux house presents its original creations. In the store, the proposals pay tribute to the occasions for the greatest pleasure of the gourmets. Young and old alike can enjoy chocolate candies, bars bearing the famous owl and other original dark or milk chocolate items.
