I came across Chocolat Ilene boutique on a Montmartre Walking tour. The fact that the walking guide…read more(a longtime French chef) recommended her shop speaks highly of the chocolates. A Korean woman is the chocolatier and she is obviously skilled at chocolate artistic sculpture for festive events. But it is her fine chocolates that dominate the candy case - which catch my eyes. I find an Asian sensibility pleasing in the variety of filling/flavor choices. After having several samples of chocolates and a house made macaron, I bought an assorted chocolate box. Yum! The boutique itself is like a small candy box filled with treats - nice ambiance. With the lab in the back, the chocolates are as fresh as can be. Next time I'm in the Montmartre neighborhood, I'll be stopping by again!

I loved getting to support a small local business and hearing the history of the sisters who opened the shop. The macarons that we tried here were hands-down the best that we ate during our trip to Paris and the chocolate was top-notch. I thoroughly enjoyed the unique combination of flavors, especially the black sesame macaron. Skip the larger chain shops and come try Chocolat Illèné.

The staff were friendly and explained about the chocolates when I asked. We were offered a sample and I asked if they had hazelnuts so my friend with an allergy couldn't have it.

I was looking at the kiosk when the worker offered me a free chocolate sample, which was very delicious. She told me that all of the macarons are filled with a chocolate ganache, which I thought was very interesting. I got the Venezuela ("Dark Chocolate with a Woody Note" and Pistachio Macaron. The Venezuela was a dark chocolate which I loved, although I didn't really get the "woody notes" The pistachio flavor wasn't super strong and balanced well with the dark ganache. for upward of 3 euros each, these are definitely more of a treat than an every day snack, but I will be back next time I'm in Paris!

Just walked into this chocolate shop to look for a snack. The man working there rudely asked me if…read moreI had any business there. I said I was browsing, and he told me that was not allowed. Seriously. He said "no looking, leave." I asked how I was supposed to buy something if I couldn't browse, but he just kept repeating I couldn't look around. He was extraordinarily rude, so I walked out after signing to him that he was #1. I didn't get a chance to taste the chocolate, but I'm assuming it leaves a bitter aftertaste, just like the douche working there. I'm hoping my review will encourage others to avoid giving this place their business. Edit: I found La Chocolaterie in the square on the corner of Place Marceau and Place Du Cygne. The staff there was extremely friendly and the chocolates were delicious.

Pierre Hermé If you…read moreknow Pierre Hermé from social media and all the viral videos, then this review needs no introduction. But if you haven't, this is a strong contender for worthy macarons in Paris and at a convenient location across the street from Ladurée. Located inside L'Occitane in the most gorgeous floor space ever, you will find Pierre Hermé at the center of it all. They have an impressive array of flavors that were much more unique than other patisseries. I definitely asked for a few recommendations as well since I tend to order the same thing (pistachio, raspberry, lemon, etc.) The workers were very kind. They indulged my request to converse in French and corrected me in a respectful and endearing way (I know some people get upset at this idea but I personally prefer it.) I had ordered a dozen macarons but truthfully would've ordered the entire lot if I wasn't alone and especially if I wasn't already taking a ton of sweets back for my flight home. I am a Ladurée purist and what I can say is that Pierre Hermé definitely had the best and most unique flavors compared to the two. The prices are fairly comparable and the coffrets are just as tasteful. Both are strong contenders and worthy of your money. I certainly will be returning and look forward to trying the rest of their selection. (15/50--2025)

Okay okay...I know Pierre Hermé is a super touristy macaron shop, and the Pierre Hermé on Champs…read moreElysée is probably the MOST touristy you can get, but I can't help but give this place five stars. Pierre Hermé is home to some of the best macarons I've had in my life -- which is probably too many for the good of my health -- and I was thoroughly impressed by the quality of the macarons, the staff's attention to detail, and all the unique flavors this shop had to offer. As a popular macaron shop in one of the hottest tourist destinations in Paris, this location is undeniably crowded. There's usually a huge line circling around a central display of macaron after macaron. The line looks pretty intimidating, but it moves quite quickly, and there are so many flavors that it'll probably be helpful to have a bit of extra time to review the menu. My friend and I split a pack of four macarons, including their seasonal isapahan (rose, lychee, raspberry), infiniment praliné pistache, and a jardin de cassandre (red currant, rhubarb). The macarons were delightful. I loved the two seasonal items; they were delightfully fruity and slightly floral, and I loved the slightly tangy flavor from the raspberry in the isapahan and rhubarb / currants in the jardin de cassandre. The praliné pistache was nice and nutty, and the inner cream offered a great additional richness. It's usually super crowded so seating tends to be quite limited. My friend and I ended up taking our macarons to go and enjoyed them elsewhere as we toured Champs Elysée.
