I can only say that the macaroons are best consumed on the same day. The staff and the owner are all full of charm, like someone sprinkled fairy dust everywhere. The smell alone is enough to raise your spirits and perhaps being surrounded by such delicious items brings along with it a kind of tickled joy that is contagious. Everyone in the small teahouse seemed to be smiling. The desserts have an artisan look, decorated to perfection. There are a few tables to sit at but most customers were taking out as we did. They had run out of croissants, but we had the pain au chocolat, a box of macaroons (flavors included lemon, liquorice, pistachio and chocolate), and various pastries. They were gone before you could say Xavier Brignon!

Amazing cheese counter here at Alain Hess…read more Delice de Pommard with mustard and their fresh Gorgonzola were our choices. We'd originally gone there seeking the Delice but as we walk through the door, I see the cheesemonger literally spooning out the gorgonzola into a container & it was love at first sight Grabbed a baguette from around the corner & dinner was served. That Gorgonzola was INCREDIBLE! Oozy, gooey, mild but tons of flavor The Delice de Pommard was a cream cheese with mustard seed husks from the Burgundy region Also offering wines, oils and lots of other temptations, Alain Hess is well worth a visit. If you do go, pick me up some of that Gorgonzola!

Alain Hess is a must-visit when you are in Beaune. It is a fantastic cheese and wine shop, probably…read morethe best in the entire city. The array of cheeses -- all lovingly displayed in a large glass case -- is enough to make any cheese lover salivate and instantly reach for his wallet. The wine shop downstairs is also impressive. Of course you are not going to find any of the highly collectible stuff, but there is a very good selection (of Burgundy, of course!) at decent prices. You can also find a good selection of hand harvested sea salt, high end chocolate, such as Bonnat, and Fallot mustard.

My group and I made a pit stop in Lausanne on our way back to Geneva from Montreux and this lovely…read morehole-in-the-wall chocolate shop caught our eye. Upon entering, we were greeted by a friendly host who guided us through their entire selection of chocolate as well as what chocolate Switzerland was known for. He was also kind enough to let us all sample 2 chocolates. Our group ended up buying 40+ pieces across the 4 of us, which we readily consumed over the next 2 days. Each piece was as rich and unique as was described, and certainly gave us a good start to our Switzerland chocolate experience.

I came into Durig because I read online that you can do chocolate workshops here throughout the…read moreday. Unfortunately I didn't have time to try the workshop, but I did walk around and pick out some chocolates to bring home as gifts. The prices are high, as they are in any gourmet chocolate shop around Lausanne. The lowest price I found was around 5 CHF and it went up from there. They have amazing individual chocolate selection at the cash register, which is priced by weight and comes out to around 1-2 CHF per piece. The associate was so kind and helpful - honestly the friendliest person I met in Lausanne. She also gave me a free piece of chocolate (you get to pick) when I checked out! The best part of the experience was that when I paid and had to select USD or CHF, she said she recommended CHF - that is the better exchange rate and she was nice enough to mention it. I highly recommend coming in if you're in Lausanne!!

The staff don't speak English very well, but they speak the language of chocolate, and that translates very well. The chocolates themselves are insanely good.
