Chocolato - Ste-Foy

2327 Boulevard du Versant Nord, Québec, QC G1N 4C2

A newcomer to the city's chocolate landscape, located in a somewhat industrial area (boulevard du Versant Nord), Chocolato stands out for its blending of coffee and hot chocolate. To espresso is added, as desired, coffee cream, cocoa, chocolate sauce, melted chocolate or, for an utterly decadent experience, white chocolate, milk and cocoa.

Les Chocolats Favoris Inc

85 Boul René-Lévesque O, Québec, QC G1R 2A3

The veritable chocolate empire that is Favoris (Lévis, Charlesbourg, Neufchatel, Cap-Rouge, Saint-Nicolas, Cartier) ensures that its hot chocolates are ready to warm anyone, almost anywhere in the city. Of all the branches, we particularly like the one on Cartier, in the urban bustle of the Montcalm area, as well as the branch in the original building in Lévis.
