We stopped in here and ate a few Macaroons and then purchased several different caramels to try. Gingerbread, Chocolate Caramel and Caramel. DELICIOUS! There are so many options of items to purchase. read more

Oh...chocolates as and pastries in Paris anyone??? This shop is tucked into one of the main streets leading up to the Sacre Couer Church at Mont Marte. Looks unassuming on the outside, but when you walk in...wow. Chocolates, caramels, and other goodies line the L shaped store on both sides. You can fill bags or containers with your choice of goodies and pay by the gram (metric system)! There is even a gargoyle and replica Notre Dame that appear to be made of chocolate! If you have a sweet tooth, this is definitely a place for you. read more

MACAROONS MACAROONS MACAROONS! If you want cheap macaroons (0.80EUR; yes 80 cents in EUR), then come here. This is by far the cheapest macaroons you will get. For the quality and price, these macaroons are hard to beat. While they are not overly famous for them, on a budget, these do just fine. I even had the GF take some home to her family so she could share a taste of Paris with them. Other things they have are a various chocolates, cookies, and a Kouign-amann. The Kouign-amann is a breton cake, containing several layers of butter and sugar. The ones sold at Maison Georges are a little stick, and quite flavorful. Cookies here weren't the best, but the their chocolates is what they are famous for with their chocolate decorations and even the atmosphere (all the stores a soft warm brown) made to look like chocolate and be aesthetically pleasing to the eye. While this is a chain chocolatier, each on has its own unique decorations which are made of chocolate. The ones I have been to have had a 1) Chocolate Notre Dame; 2) Chocolate Pirate Ship; 3) Chocolate Eiffel Tour; and 4) Chocolate Arc de Triumph. read more

What a hidden gem this is! Of all the pastries and chocolates available in Paris, this was a nice place to visit on our way back down the street that we took that led to the Sacre Couer Church at Monte Marte. Doesn't look like anything impressive from the outside but once you go in, WOW, so many chocolates and things to choose from. AND items are not that expensive compared to other shops around Paris. We purchased the caramels in different flavors -- chocolate, nut, regular caramel....all fabulously delicious. What is really cool was the 2 sculptures when you walk in -- one of a gargoyle and one of the Notre Dame. The store is self serve -- so you grab a bag and fill it with your goodies, which are weighed when you pay. read more

I discovered this chocolatier on a food tour through the Montmartre area. The chocolate was so incredible in flavor and quality that my husband and I ended up visiting the other 2 locations during our stay in Paris. The "Meilleur Ouvrier de France" sign outside the store indicates Georges Larnicol competed to produce a masterpiece in his trade and won the title of one of the best artisans in France- impressive! The store has a section of specially crafted chocolates that you can bag/box yourself and pay by weight. I loved the little crepes inside a chocolate shell- perfectly balanced texture of creamy and crunchy (forgot the actual name, I was too busy trying everything!). There are also many good options for pre packaged treats you can buy as a gift. We kept buying "gifts" for our friends and ended up eating them, hence the multiple visits to restock on our supply of Georges Larnicol goodies. One of the most impressive things here is a detailed model of Notre Dame sculpted entirely out of chocolate. We were well taken care of by workers at each location with our purchases. Our friends all had great things to say about the treats we bought them! read more

Macarons are the more traditional n less flavors and maybe a little heavier than Pierre Hermé macarons, but the customer service was friendly with no attitude that I got at the PH store off of Rue Rivoli. & much cheaper! The chocolates are rich & divine! Loved the raspberry jam-filled chocolates. Salesclerk said the macarons are GF, but the chocolates are not. The kouignettes were a little too sticky sweet and not that fresh-tasting which my mom agreed on: pass. Go to check out the incredible chocolate sculptures even if you don't buy! read more

My five star rating is totally Biased!!! Yes, it is because it is based entirely on the thing I think they do best... Kouign Amann and the Kouignettes. You can get chocolates and macarons all over Paris, so why concentrate on those items here? Grab a big bag and just fill it with Kouignettes and if you don't like them I'm not sure what you were doing in a place like that in the first place LOL! They were one of the culinary highlights of my trip to Paris! I ate my Salted caramel Kouignette on the plane back and seriously had there not been a drinks trolley between me and myself and the cockpit I would have... Dare I say it without a team of black ops crashing through my window... I would have hijacked the plane and made it turn around just to go back and get more of these. Better still I have since found that they deliver internationally... now all I have to do is rob a bank and have these delivered at least once a week! I guess what I am trying to say. If you are in Monmartre and are going up to the Sacré-Coeur do pop in and try these! I also bought some cake pops, they were filled with marzipan, I don't like marzipan, but I don't care because I loved the Kouignette. They come in a variety of flavours so I am sure there is something for everyone. ( Plain, almond, salted caramel, Chocolate, lemon, raspberry, orange Cointreau, Pistachio and Rum & Raisin) They also make yummy Torchettes, galettes and caramels. My bf is still working his way through his giant chocolate lolly! I can not comment on the chocolates and pralines they looked pretty but something told me that I wouldn't be blown away by them so I stuck to what I thought gives this place it's kudos! P.S. I should mention also that there are some chocolate sculptures on display. read more

This is the touristy location of Maison Georges Larnicol in Montmarte and that's not a bad thing. Previously, I went to another Maison Georges Larnicol and felt totally intimidated. The shop was cold and unfriendly and I left empty handed. The Montmarte location is filled with people and amazing chocolate displays. You'll be throwing your euros at the cash register in exchange for chocolates in no time. I wish I understood more French, as all the signs were in French. No fret, I just grabbed a plastic bag and started filling my bag with tiny chocolates and candies. I had no idea what I was buying but the tiny egg shaped chocolates (OEUFS de goelands praline craquant) turned out to be divine and I wish I had bought more. I also bought two kouignettes (chocolate and a rhum-raisin). They were very hard and sugary. They were just okay. If anything, just super cute. The macarons looked unappetizing and a lot of the things here were gimmicky but good for presents (chocolate molded into red high heels for example). My one wish would be to buy the petit pots de caramel au beurre sale and bring them back to the states. I had carry-on luggage only and was not going to check in any baggage. They looked delightful though. This is a fun chocolate shop to visit and their chocolate bits are really good. read more

What a cool shop! I think it is place for the sweet lovers. There are local different kind of the sweet in the house. Some of them just look really funky to me, I wonder, the taste of those. And you can find the most famous and popular sweet here. This is like a paradise of Kouginettes and Macarons. Many different favours can choose from. I also feel like some of the sweet here just too beautiful to be eaten. Inside this shop, there are also some really amazing hand works waiting for you to admire or photograph. The shop is really big as well. I don't want to spoiled too much, better check this place out when you need by. The staff are super nice here. If you are looking for something perticular, just ask simply. They won't hesitate to help. The location of this place also made it really popular. Always lots people come and go. That kinda speak for the brand itself. Cool shop worth to check out. read more

Very rude workers here, maybe just to tourists? But I did not enjoy the way I was treated and would have left if I wasn't on a time crunch to buy macarons. The macarons are very reasonably priced .80€ per macaron but with a box they are 1€ each. There are only 9 flavors I believe and they are decent, not the greatest but not bad either. They do have a ton of chocolate that looked yummy but I didn't get the chance to try it! read more

When I walked by and saw all the great colors and the presentation of everything, I was really excited about actually tasting the chocolate...unfortunately, they really looked a lot better than they really were. We tried several chocolates from the section where one can complete their own bagged variety of chocolates, and the tastes ranged from "mediocre" to "pretty good". Most other reviewers seemed to have really liked their experience at other locations so maybe I purchased the wrong items. I did notice that the section I chose chocolates from really had a lot of chocolates and I could see that if one didn't change-out/refresh the chocolates every day, the chocolates would become stale and taste old, which is what I experienced. I think next time I'll try some of the other items rather than the do-it-yourself section. The presentation is amazing! read more

I have a fever and the only prescription is more chocolates. This place is definitely the cure. It is a whole new world, like the Willy Wonka factory, but for the more mature taste. It's not just a delight for the taste, but for the eyes. I mean, from the amazing chocolate sculptures, to the macaroons, to the endless flavors of chocolate, makes me ask "Why? Why do I not live here in Montmartre?" One bite of any chocolate concoction makes you close your eyes and pause the world for a moment. My only regret is that I didn't buy more. read more

I was pleasantly surprised at how great the assortment of chocolates that I chose for myself were. I especially enjoyed the Pomes d'amour, the blanc and noir galets, and the moules au praline. I had a raspberry macaron, which was heavenly, and the staff was quite friendly. One woman helped translate the macaron flavors I didn't understand. I highly recommend their chocolates as a nice gift, or just as a treat to yourself! read more

Very nice staff here. Reasonable price for macarons and friendly staff. Definetly want to try the chocolates next time.

Extremely poor customer service and potentially racist and biased towards foreigners. Me and my friend witnessed a man touching one of the chocolates with his hands and we thought it was inappropriate. A minute later, a staff member made an accusation towards us, claiming that he had seen us touched the chocolates. It wasn't true and he was blatantly lying! When we objected and told him he was making false accusation when we had just witnessed another customer actually touching the chocolates, he realised his mistake and offered a half apology. If he said he saw us, why apology? Simply because the staff member was lying and showed unprofessionalism and bias. Me and my friend were about to actually buy chocolates. We had to leave in disgust due to the hostile and crazy behaviour of the staff. read more

And now I'm completely addicted to kouignettes. I tried the almond and the chocolate flavors but now I wish I would have gotten one of each as there are several. I'm sure everything in here is delicious, but I came for the kouignettes. I highly recommend you do the same! read more

Mini-macaroons were a great price, but they didn't taste that great. I wouldn't go back. Instead try Pierre Hermes or Eric Kayser.
