I alway s try to find chocolates (partial to mint) when I travel. This place was close to where I…read morewas staying so I decided to try it out. Even though there was a slight language barrier getting the chocolates I wanted was simple. The owner was gracious enough to help me choose my small box - sadly, no mints. I have not eaten all of the mints but each one thus far is quite goos. Definte recommend.

Quebec has many chocolatiers or chocolate shops as we say in English. Generally, the chocolate…read moreproducts in these stores are all very good. It's hard to make bad chocolate. This store was on the small side but it offered many different Belgian-style chocolate products, including bars, truffles, pralines, hot chocolate mixes, and just about every other type of chocolate you can imagine. They also have a bakery. There is a sample tray that lets you try their milk chocolate, 50% dark chocolate, and 70% dark chocolate. We liked the taste of their chocolate and ended up buying a bag full. I bought a 70% dark chocolate bar and a milk chocolate bar. The dark chocolate and lavender caramel bar my wife bought was especially delicious. The lavender came from the Blue Lavande lavender farm in Stanstead. This is a great place to stop and buy chocolate before you head to Mt Orford for outdoor activities. We will definitely be back.

Grab some chocolate in the gift shop on the way out. PS- I saw a video this morning of Jimmy Fallon taking the band U2 in disguise down into the subway of NYC to play for tips. Since Covid, this little gem of a restaurant has simplified their service and serves their food in a recyclable carton instead of ceramic plates. Don't be fooled though, the food and charm is still U2 and Bono!!!

Calling it a 'museum' might be a bit optimistic, but don't let that scare you off. There are a few…read morerooms of chocolate history to see here, and it held my kids' interest long enough. When we went, there were a few free samples out, so that helped. There's a small gift shop with some commercial chocolates and some house-made stuff, which is good to give as gifts. There was also a small restaurant part in the back, but we didn't try that. On-street parking was easy, but it might be tough during tourist season.

One of my favourite places. This restaurant will make your tastebuds experience new things!…read moreSometimes when chefs try to be too original and let their imagination run wild, the results are beautiful without being exceptionally tasty. At Le Hatley, everything is a feast for the tastebuds, starting with the bread service. It's an experience and I cannot wait to go back! Beware, the portions are tiny... My husband ordered the steak which was the equivalent of 3 bites. I actually like the small portions since you get to try more things. It is an expensive menu, but the prices are justified given the service and the high quality of everything in your plate... worth every penny. Enjoy!

Was so satisfying. For chocolate lovers like myself. I took the small one. It was perfect size,…read moredon't take bigger because its will be too much. I tried the orange chocolate covering with vanilla on the inside. I loved it. We also tried the cotton candy covering. It was well done for the taste but too sweet and sugar high with that! The coverage is thick you are basically biting into a chocolate bar as you are having a velvety quality ice cream. It was wonderful. I would go back whenever there is no line up. Thank god they don't have one close to my job otherwise i won't stop going.

What a lovely experience! I went in to buy chocolate for my daughter, but needed it shipped back…read moreto her at school in Pennsylvania. Most every person I encountered in Quebec seemed completely unable to communicate in English. The darling proprietor of this shop was willing and quite able to help this US visitor. She helped me with selections from her own delicious creations and advising what items would ship the best. It was a bit complicated to compute the Canada mail fees and then add the US mail fees and the customs costs, but she stuck with it until completion. And my daughter really enjoyed the treats when they arrived. Beautiful little local shop, where the owner was the efficient as the chocolatier, as well as being the m m to her two very young children who were there in the shop with her. If you are touring around rural Quebec Province and are in Compton, please stop to enjoy a really lovely shop.

Went into Champlain chocolates and even though it was busy, they got us our orders quickly and…read moreefficiently. Is the place pricey for wha it is, yes, but is it quality chocolate, also yes. I got the small signature hot chocolate which was delightfully rich and delicious. It was so rich, I don't think I could have had a bigger size if I wanted to. I also got a plethora of chocolates to go, I haven't tried them yet, but they look good.

Well, I ordered some chocolate bars with hazelnut praline filling for a Victorian Christmas tea…read morethat I was giving. I was surprised to see that the ingredients included a great deal more than chocolate and hazelnut praline. Actually, I was disappointed because we all know it's difficult to get exquisite chocolate here in the United States, I thought Lake Champlain chocolates were a cut above. I looked at the ingredients after I took a bite of the chocolate with hazelnut praline filling because it did not taste right; it tasted like it had other stuff in it besides high quality chocolate and hazelnut praline filling. I looked at the label and sure enough it has a LOT of other stuff in it that should not be in it. I took a photograph of the front and back of the labels but I don't know if I'll be able to upload it. Before you buy, if you are a purist like me, I recommend you read the labels. At least I can tell you that the ingredients included wheat, soy beans, peanuts, and other things that really shouldn't have been included. I am soooooooooo disappointed. Unfortunately, I shall not be buying any Lake Champlain chocolates anymore because I want to buy the real thing. I don't want to buy American corporate reductionist products that just don't measure up. I am actually very sad ...

When we travel, which hasn't been often for us, we not only figure out what sightseeing we want to…read moredo and what hotels to stay at, but a huge part of it revolves around the food. Of course it does !! I look at others who deal with food on the fly, meaning they'll just grab something with no aforethought, and I'm thinking... NO f'ing way. I want the scoop on what's good, what isn't, to include meal food, snack-type foods, and my favorite, the sweet factor. Gotta hit local bakery and chocolate shops and gotta know ahead of time where those are and when they're open. As is the case with Vermont, we found A GREAT MANY places either close early (or earlier than we'd prefer) or aren't even open the days we were floating through the various towns. However, Lake Champlain Chocolates was one of the few places that is open seven days a week. Yay, no pressure to beat the clock here. Inviting presentation of beautifully crafted chocolates, and let me tell you, they tasted as wonderful as they looked. We bought and devoured the following: 1. chocolate covered orange rinds - excellent quality chocolate and extremely fresh orange rind. 2. chocolate covered apricots - same excellent chocolate, but SUPER IMPRESSED with how soft and fresh the dried apricot slices were. Really plump and easy to bite into, and the chocolate just melted in our mouths. The BEST I've had !! 3. chocolate caramels - hard to go wrong with these. Delicious... and just the right amount of chew. 4. Hazelnut truffle, champagne truffle, and a piece of toffee - we only bought one of each of these and we're sorry that was all. They were delicious, but only getting one small bite of each wasn't enough. It's difficult to know how much to get; plus we didn't want to overindulge at the beginning of our trip. Now I'm thinking, shoulda overindulged, lol. Oh well. This is a great place to stop if you want something sweet, if you want INCREDIBLY FRESH chocolates, not to mention DELICIOUS chocolates, and I understand that they are really well known for their hot chocolate, too !! However, we were there during an unseasonably hot summer day (according to the locals), so we were vying for nothing but cooling off type things. Anyway, if you're reading this review, and you're in Stowe, GO HERE !!! (They have other locations in other parts of Vermont, too, but this is the one we descended upon.
