The chocolate eclair was delicious here, and I am not even a fan of eclairs. It is nice to see this establishment still popular after my initial visit in 2015. The small chocolate museum next door is free to all. read more

Interesting and yummy dark chocolate almond nests. We also got some hazelnut bark to take home, and I wish we had stomach space to try the hot chocolate! Cool little museum too. This is a great street to walk down. read more

Came across this dainty Chocolate store as I was searching for some desserts ! Atmosphere- looked pretty old and dated . Perhaps it was the lighting but the store definitely didn't have the wow factor. Very small and tight. Food - Dark chocolate , Raspberry slice of cake . It was alright . For a specialized chocolate store , I expected more . The raspberry filler part tasted odd almost like my smoothie but thicker lol. The dark chocolate was good but not mind blowing . I'd rate it a 3 Packaging - this was the part that annoyed me . They packaged my slice of cake in a paper bag -__-. It was hard to travel with it and despite being super careful, the slice got mildly squished. I found this concept VERY ODD, I wonder how they expected us to get to the slice of cake without getting our fingers dirty or ruining the beautiful cake slice . Ended up tearing the bag open to transfer it to a plate .... Services - it was disorganized . No queuing system , there were lines forming left / right/ middle . Price - around $5 and a bit with tax. Cake was pretty small but still reasonably price. Although .. I would had at least expected it to be packaged properly . Even Metro gives a plastic container and their slices are like $2.99 .. Overall I'd say give this place a try once if you are desperate but don't expect too much ! read more

Fantastic eclairs, hot chocolate, and soft serve ice cream. Amazing staff and the best ice cream Ive ever had. The chocolate museum is phenomenal and worth going to see. Hands down the best place in Quebec City to visit!! read more

We encountered this chocolate shop on a stroll after dinner. After going inside, we found many treats that looked appealing. I guess we were still hungry, because we started loading up a small box with various confections. After leaving the store, we decided to open the box just to sample a few. Wow! Really good. In fact, by the time we reached our final destination, the box was empty (and our tummies were quite happy). Enjoy! read more

Absolutely delicious ice cream. The Aztec was chocolate with Mexican spices, there was one with cardamom and honey, the ginger had whole pieces of candied ginger in it. The cookies and fudge were not as special, but the ice cream and sorbets are well worth a visit. read more

A chocolate gem! Delicious and authentic chocolatier. Then even have a Museum of Chocolate! We had: Erico & Italian hot chocolate, brownie and bought lots of holiday chocolates for gifts. read more

The brownie is delicious, high quality dark chocolate and a good texture, denser and richer than a cake but not totally a piece of fudge. The frozen chocolate drink was okay, but seemed like only dark chocolate and blended ice, I think milk could've made it creamier. Their chocolate cake is amazing! We ordered a 9 inch for our baby's 3-month "birthday." It produced 16 good slices, and everyone complimented it unbidden. The cake was moist and chocolatey, which you actually can't take for granted with a chocolate cake. read more

4.5 stars. Our waiter from La Buvette Scott recommended this place for the pistachio ice cream dipped in dark chocolate (I got the Fleur di del version) and it didn't disappoint. Intense pistachio flavor that's matched with equally intense dark chocolate. Heavenly. Consider getting a chocolate embellished sugar cone with it. We also ordered Erico (dark chocolate ice cream with 100% cocoa - decadent, reminded me of a chocolate ganache in ice cream form) and Bombay chai. Excellent. Given that it's a chocolate place, we took home some boxes of chocolate but I think that the gelato here with chocolate is actually a more superior choice. read more

Please don't go to this cafe thinking it's a museum hahaha it's partly named museum of chocolate because half of their shop has pictures and artifacts laid out. Honestly, it's more like little explanations you can read through in like 3 minutes lol I would give three stars but one more since their workers were so sweet. It's literally a tiny chocolatier that just had their 30th anniversary. They have chocolate, pastries, cakes, gelato, and many types of hot chocolate you can buy. Their small is a super tiny cup. Like one sip. Make sure to know what you are ordering. We tried their hot chocolate, and it was amazing like any other cafes we tried hot chocolate at. read more

Great place for anything chocolate: bars, small chocolate candies, ice cream, hot chocolate, chocolate chips by the pound. There is a little museum to walk through and read about the chocolate making process. It's in France and English. I had a slice of the classic chocolate cake. It was rich chocolate and fresh. It was a great deal for $3.50. We sat on the patio to eat it. They provided us with water also. They have chocolates from foreign vendors. You will be amazed how many flavors you can have of chocolate. They also serve hot chocolate. read more

I'm giving three stars because the girl behind the counter was very sweet and helpful, otherwise I'd give two stars, maybe even one. This chocolate shop seemed pretty hyped up in the brochure, but once we got there, it was kind of old and worn out looking. We originally came there to watch them make chocolate, but no one was back there making chocolate. There were some cute educational "games" that were explained the background of chocolate. Since I was there, I figured might as well try some chocolate, so I got enough chocolate to meet the credit card minimum, which was three pieces. I did have a mental meltdown when I saw that she handled the candy with bare hands, no tongs or gloves. The chocolate itself wasn't really worth bragging about, they did have unique flavors though. They sold all sorts of other things, like gelato in a cone, etc, but I wasn't feeling adventurous as it didn't look fresh. read more

We shared the chocolate cake here and found it really dry. We didn't even bother with the bites with no frosting. I wish I'd gotten a hot chocolate and a cookie. Are the hot chocolates the sipping chocolate kind or the hot cocoa kind? Unclear. The museum part was all in French which was disappointing to me as a visiting American. (Not to expect other countries to cater to speaking English but yeah I guess I do...) So between not being able to appreciate the museum (which did look cool) and the quality of the chocolate dessert, it was as the French say "le letdown." That said, I was curious about the menu and would go back. 2 stars (mostly because the rest of the menu looked interesting) read more

Cute and charming little shop. There is a small chocolate museum kind of thing on the left half of the place. Got their ice cream and a few truffles. The triple (or was it 4?) chocolate scoop was excellent. read more

"When is that redhead going to pack up her book, finish that damn Italian hot chocolate and call it a day?" I imagine that's what they were wondering. I nursed that chocolate al densa (sipping chocolate) like it was nobody's businesses while I flipped through pages of Anne Boyelyn. How romantic of me, right? I have to admit, it was a pretty dreamy experience. I had not a care in the world, the most delicious "drink" at my fingertips and the smell of chocolate swirling in the air around me. Many thanks to the Erico crew for their hospitality. They offer a wide variety of chocolate bars, pieces, desserts and hot chocolates. If you're looking to mix it up, I recommend ordering the Italian hot chocolate which is also known as chocolate al densa, it's literally so thick you'll want a spoon to eat it (think gourmet chocolate pudding). Craving an educational opportunity? Visit the attached chocolate museum for 25 cents. Yes, 25 cents. Even if not to make a purchase, crawl in here for the mouthwatering smells. read more

Excellent brownies & hot chocolate. I hate the erico hot chocolate and it was perfect. The service was fast and the folks were really nice. Great place for gifts as well as something to warm you up. Cookies were meh! read more

This super cute chocolate shop is a must-do if you're strolling down Rue St Jean. It's definitely walking distance if you're in town playing tourist and it's more than just another typical candy shop! If you go left when you first enter, there's a chocolate museum. While there's a bunch of fun facts about cocoa, I headed straight to the back where there's a window to see into the kitchen where the treats are made. I breezed through the museum since I was cold and hungry. On the shop side, I ordered a handful of chocolates, a cookie, and a small cup of hot-chocolate to warm up. The Guinness chocolate was delicious, and the white-chocolate matcha was surprisingly tasty! While I probably wouldn't get a cookie again, the chocolates were amazing. The hot chocolate was TINY but great as well. read more

Nice to know that you can also get chocolate dipped ice cream right in Quebec and that you don't have to go to Lévis for it. Ice cream was delicious and there is a small museum about chocolate. read more

Don't miss out on this small shop. Though there are tons of dessert shops in the area, this one was the most genuine. The prices are very reasonable, the service is extremely friendly, and the products are delicious. The chocolate cake is perfectly moist and not overly sweet, but is rich and decadent. I would return here for sure. read more

This is a must try if you like dipped ice cream. They have multiple chocolate dip flavors to choose from - salted caramel, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, etc. We loved it and wish we had found sooner in our visit. read more

Yummy hot chocolate and mouthwatering variety of handmade chocolates! Give yourself an extra time to walk through the tiny museum in the back to learn the secrets of chocolate making and some chocolate history. Although the "chocolate museum" is too small to call it a museum compared to the "Museu De La Xocolata" in Barcelona, it's free and you'll also get to peek at chocolates being made through the viewing window. You're more likely to purchase their chocolate after you visit the museum.....very clever marketing strategy!! read more

This place is a chocolate lovers fantasy. The museum is adorable and the samples are plentiful - you get a lot for $.25. The service was great, the sales person was very helpful and patient with us as we wanted detailed descriptions of everything chocolate in the store. The chocolates are delicious. My girls loved the lollipops. All in all a great experience. read more

Drinks: 4.5 Decor: 3 Ambiance: 5 Service: 3.5 Value: 4 We came here for the chocolate museum, and we stayed for the amazing hot chocolate! If venturing through this part of town and in need of 30 minutes to kill, the museum is a perfect little stop. And again, you will not be disappointed by their chocolate creations either. read more

Everything looked delicious here. After dinner we only had some much room. I passed on the ice cream and went for the chocolate covered orange sticks that reminded me of my childhood. Right on!! read more

Everything is made in house! A variety of ices creams and chocolates available; don't be fooled by the small ice cream case! The Fir Sap and Lemon ice cream tastes like I'm eating Christmas in July (okay, August) and the dark chocolate is rich and real. Friendly staff, beautiful store, and a chocolate museum next door (free entry). Totally worth the hike up the hill! read more

Love the meriangues dipped in chocolate . Everytime I come to Quebec I am happy the quality stays the same...rarity these days

Staff were not overly friendly or helpful. There is a museum... it is small, does not take very long the walk through, the nice thing is there are some chocolate "vending" machines so bring quarters and you can taste the different flavors as you walk through, otherwise... its a standard chocolate shop. very cute, but not worth the trip we took just to find it, i think it took us longer to find the placce and parking than it did to go through the museum. read more

My husband and I were walking down the street, enjoying the wonderful weather and trying to walk off our delicious lunch, when I spotted Erico's sign across the street. My sweet tooth then demanded that we check it out, and my husband was game since a) we had just gotten married and he was willing to indulge my ridiculousness, and b) the sign also said 'museum.' We entered into the retail portion and swung into the tiny chocolate museum right next to it. It's a small room that they've packed with educational information about chocolate and the history of its cultivation and use. They had information in both French and English, although it was primarily in French, and a few interactive portions that are great for kids. They even had some chocolate sculptures, including a dress made out of chocolate! Of course I then went back to look at their chocolate products, and since it was right before Halloween at the time they had a large assortment of different molded chocolates. The staff were really nice and helpful, and like many French Canadians speak English. I had to buy something (for later, I promised myself), and I got some dark chocolate vampire fangs, skeleton in a coffin, a white chocolate matcha coin, and a chocolate covered marshmallow caramel cookie. They were delicious! The matcha was relatively subtle in flavor, but it was real matcha, and the marshmallow cookie thingy was fantastic and my husband's favorite (he doesn't even like sweets!). read more

I am usually dubious of little museums attached to stores created simply to drive traffic to their business... but it was cold and they were allowing people to be warm! The "museum "while very small has a few interactive stations that are fun and informative! We bout some chocolate for friends and they said it was the best they ever had! No reason not to stop by and indulge! read more

Friday, 4:30 PM. The chocolate products deserves the hype but I'm here for the soft serve. This ice cream is available during summer months only. Quickie: + Food + Service + Quick turnaround + Hygiene And then...? Artisanal attention to all the goodies in this house. There are various treats I want to try here but dayuuum, that soft serve though! ********** Stuffed my face in: 1. Homemade soft serve ice cream with dark chocolate coating + Dip coating had a firm enough texture that went well with the interior. Constructive comments: *Source ingredients *Options for compost and recycling read more

Easiest review ever! This place rules. Best house made ice cream I've ever had. It was worth a 2nd trip and possibly a third before we leave. Try the creme Brule ice cream. It has burnt pieces of caramel. Awesome! read more

Honestly I did not even go into the museum, I was too mesmerized by the attached chocolate shop! I had a wonderful dark chocolate and hot coffee drink that was out of this world, lovely on a cold day. they also had samples of chocolate to try, and a wonderful array of artisan chocolates to purchase, along with unique t-shirts, shopping bags and umbrellas. Charming shop with great displays and helpful staff; If you love quality chocolate, this is the place to visit and enjoy. read more
