A new must stop in the Laurentides. This is small shop with tons of local tastes and products…read more We met Melanie, who is a local chocolatier. She and her husband worked with local food specialty business from all over the laurentian mountains to create a shop that highlights the best and most tasty local specialty food providers; including local coffee, fondue, pies, wines, bbq sauces, nuts, spreads and more. Very friendly staff and each table provides you with location and a bit of history on the local providers. The building looks a bit commercial in the winter but the walls open up in the spring to feel more like a local market. Great stop for snacks and unique local gifts to take home. Easy access from 117 and plenty of parking. Don't do like us and go in here starving after a day of downhill skiing - or you will end up with a lot of food.

This place gets extremely busy and there will be a line. We waited 45 minutes to enter and another…read more15 minutes to order on Christmas Day. It was worth the wait - you cannot go wrong with dessert! There is very little seating inside so expect to eat outside. It will get packed with the people who do have seats and people who are lining up to place their order.

I am always partial to a place that does a mini scoop and even more partial to a place that gives…read moreyou a tiny little baby cup that fits the scoop perfectly. We got the dark chocolate ice cream, the raspberry and vanilla soft serve which was a limited edition, and a vanilla soft serve dipped in chocolate. My only complaint is that the chocolate on the vanilla cone was very thick and did not harden, meaning it kind of just squished when you bit into it. That being said, still tasty and enjoyable so would still probably go back!

While staying in Montebello, noted ChocoMotive, so had to check out. Glad I did!…read more Located in the red cedar log Montebello Station (a.k.a. La Gare de Montebello) where there's also tourist information, ChocoMotive has a great selection of artisanal gourmet chocolates! (Btw, they also have a Transfair Canada license signifying they use only certified fair trade organic sugar and cacao. ChocoMotive also doesn't use soy lecithin. There's a window to view their chocolate production facility too! ChocoMotive definitely is also riding the "Pistachio is the new Hazelnut" trend, with their own Dubai Chocolate with different types of chocolate. Their Bonbons looked amazing, but after a week of non-stop overindulging decided to opt for 3 sugar free bars: Blueberry, Hazelnut and Pistachio Milk Chocolate. All three were sooo good! ChocoMotive also has ice cream and other local treats. Definitely recommend stopping by!

The employee patiently answered questions while giving small spoonfuls of different ice cream flavours to taste. Luckily we weren't too big of a group but we were enough to take over the four tables inside. It was a very cozy and comfortable place I look forward to returning to in order to try their coffees (as I'm a fan of affogato :) )

Has anyone recommended the chocolate dipped soft serve cone yet?! :D…read more There is a reason why! I can never remember all the different choice except dark, milk chocolate, maple and strawberry. I have tried them all and I would say that maple and strawberries are a bit too sweet for me. But they are a great change when you have taken the Belgium milk chocolate forever. I think they have around 10 chocolate dips. I am sure there is one to suit your fancy.
