I went back 3 times during a quick trip to Paris. The food was outstanding and the service was excellent!!!

It is a chain, but it produces reliably good treats you can consume yourself or buy for friends and family.

Maison George's Larnicol is a wonderful Chocolate shop located close to my Hotel in the Bastille section of Paris France. The selection is tremendous while the quality is second to none. My wife and I sampled several pieces of chocolate and Macarons. Their chocolate covered raspberries are outstanding and my personal favorite. The staff is extremely helpful and the prices are reasonable given their caliber of delights read more

Maison Georges Larnicol - Beautiful chocolate shop - Desserts Near Me - Paris, 75

I walked in and the smell of chocolate welcomed me with a great, big hug. Honestly, if I close my eyes, I can remember the exact moment I walked through the door! What an AWESOME little chocolate place! We really loved exploring the shop because each type of treat was so intricately designed and decorated. The store itself was designed so well. Even with all of the types of chocolate, it wasn't overwhelming visually. The service was great! The servers were so kind with sampling, and the prices were bar none, best I've seen in France. I really would HIGHLY recommend this place! Definitely better than those over hyped Laduree macarons (as per husband!). read more

Excellent milk chocolate covered almonds. So good that we went back three times for more.

This place has the most amazing chocolates! Everything is spectacular and leaves you wanting more! Even the macarons are pretty decent, though competition is high in these areas for that. I highly recommend coming here and trying at least a few of their chocolate covered goodies! read more

Maison Georges Larnicol - Two amazing stores right next to each other! - Desserts Near Me - Paris, 75

Hands down, my favorite macarons while I was in Paris. My friends and I happened upon Maison Georges Larnicol by chance while walking the streets near Montmartre. We were drawn in instantly by promises of Le Petit Musee du Chocolat - chocolate museum!? I'm there. They do a great job luring in tourists with the Chocolate Eiffel tower and other cool sculptures made of the rich treat. However, their goodies really are fantastic, too, so be sure to pick some up while standing in awe of the chocolate creations. Now as I said these were my favorite macarons during my entire trip and I tried my fair share! Their flavors were fantastic, macarons were done perfectly with the right amount of crunch & softness plus their prices were great. 1.80 Euro each or 7 for 7 Euros in a cute little package! My friends and I also got some other snacks and enjoyed them all. I was such a fan, this is the shop I chose to buy macarons from for my friends. You must try to get here while in Paris to pick some yummy bits up. read more

One of a few locations in the area that provides quality macarons, albeit on the pricier side. Definitely worth a stop when vacationing there. read more

Lovely & festive shop filled with all kinds of confectionery treats & emong them were macarons. Many of the items are self-serve but not the macarons - you need someone from the staff to assist you in packaging your selection. Given this was our first visit, we only selected a few - next time we'll know to go for the works - they were yummy! Passion fruit - very tart (in a good way) & grainy seeds? Not sure I liked that part Pistasche - very intense pistachio flavor Caramel - I liken this to a nice, rich, butterscotch Rose - strong rose flavor (in a good way) filling not very creamy but flavor made up for it These macarons are smaller than you'll find at Laudree or Pierre Herme but they were very tasty.....small but mighty & definitely worthy of another visit! read more

Fantastic chocolate and macaroon shop. The location was conviniently across from the St Paul metro station, and on the way to my hotel. A store worker asked if I'd like help, and since their chocolates are not described in English, I took her up on the offer. I told her I was looking for dark chocolate to bring back home with me and she alerted me to the fact that I can make a custom tin of picked out chocolates and went to grab me a tin. The tin was €2 which was a fair price to pay for something that will store your chocolates and keep them fresh and also have a nice token that says Paris for another use later. We strolled through the shop and she pointed out each dark chocolate selection and I told her if I'd like it and how many I'd like. At the end I didn't fill the tin completely, but it was nice to have my own custom selection. She let me sample some chocolates throughout and they were so good! I also got some caramels, which I highly recommend as well, and two boxes of macaroons which she was nice enough to bubble wrap for my flight home. All in all, I had wonderful gifts to share with friends when I came home, and a nice experience in the store. read more

Picked up some excellent pastries and macaroons at this location. The macaroons were every bit as good as those at laduree but without the high price tag. Macaroons come is assorted flavours at 0.80 each. The lemon was particularly good, but the rose fell slightly short with more of a berry flavour. Overall a great dessert spot that I would go back to. read more

I had a directive to stop in this boutique and bring home some kouginettes (small kougin aman pastries). Since I had a week before having to take them home, I decided to give them a try when I passed the shop in the Marais. First off, the boutique is predominately stocked with candy. Chocolates, hard candy, nougat. It all looks delicious. Strangely enough, the way they have things set up, you serve yourself. Most places that have products laid out generally ask that you have a staff member help you get what you want. But here you help yourself. I like that! On the shelf near the front door, was the display of kouginettes. They were quite lovely to look at. Glistening with a glossy exterior, there were at least five flavors of kouginettes to choose from. I picked up one that was orange with liquer and placed it into a plastic baggie. They weigh the pastry at the cash register and it comes out to about 1.50 euro. This seems amazingly inexpensive! When I try the pastry, it's delicious with a subtle taste of orange liquer. The pastry is soaked in a syrupy sauce but has a nice firm texture. I'm so used to over-priced French pastries back at home that this kouginette seems like a steal to me. At the same time it's satisfying my sweet tooth and a lovely treat while shopping in the Marais. Now back at home with a few kouginettes from the shop. I'm kicking myself for not having brought home more. Once heated up in the toaster oven, they are delicious. I'll have to bring a large tupperware the next time I'm at Larnicol. read more

Very nice Maison Georges Larnicol location! The staff is happy to help you with your selection of delicious treats. They'll help you find the perfect gifts for your friends and family (or for yourself!). You can check out the self-service chocolates and sweets and fill up a plastic bag with lots of goodies, select from their prepackaged items, or ask an employee to package some macarons for you. I personally think the macarons are some of the yummiest in Paris and are quite affordable. Overall, this Maison Georges Larnicol is a great place to snag some delicious Parisian treats and not break the bank. P.S.- I highly recommend their jars of caramel sauce! Perfect on ice cream, gelato, cookies, etc. read more

Very tasty chocolates, caramels, macarons and fun chocolates decorated for Easter.

OMG yes to his kouignette. David Lebovitz knows what he's talking about when he mentioned this place for those little swirly pastries. It is an instant sugar rush eating a kouignette and you can ask the person behind the counter to heat it up for you if you intend to eat immediately. We also bought some chocolates since this place is known for the chocolate as well. I didn't get a chance to eat the chocolates til a few days later in Belgium where I did a side by side comparison to some Belgium chocolates I picked up from Pierre Marcolini. IMO, Pierre Marcolini won hands down. Still, I would recommend this place to friends for the kouignettes! read more

Macaroons!!!!!!!!!! Of all of the macaroons that I have had in Paris (probably 200 euros worth :p ), including the "Tiffany's" of macaroons... Laduree, I enjoyed George's macaroons the most. The best macaroon they had was the passion fruit flavor, it had bits of passion fruit in it! The vanilla, rose and cafe flavors were also good. George's also charges by the weight so the prices were also more reasonable then most macaroon places. I also had some chocolate and cookies, which were both really good, but nothing to write home about. Overall, worth a trip if you are into macaroons like me. Definitely better macaroons here than anything that I have had in SF. read more

The macaroons we bought there were stale, had to find a better shop for fresher macaroons (which we did and were very pleased). Also, they do not package them nicely there if you want them as gifts. read more

Reasonable price and excellent service. On our second last day in Paris, we stopped by this place to get some cookies and macaroons for our friends and relatives in Canada. The girls were extremely helpful and accommodating with all my requests. Macaroons here are delicious and very affordable. They are not as famous as the other places but I find the quality was very decent. My nieces loved the cookies I brought back for them read more

One words: MACARONS! Oh-la-la! Amazing chocolate creations near this chocolatiere near the St. Paul Metro, including a giant wine bottle made of chocolate that could be yours for a mere 185 euros! But for me, it was the sampling of macarons that made our visit here worthwhile. In what seems to be the Parisian style, imagine an oreo cookie, but TASTY!!! In a variety of flavors, they literally melt in your mouth. (I accidentally swallowed the vanilla one all in one bite, but to the dissolution of my daughter and my wife. I suspect there are a thousand places like this in Paris, but from my perspective, this is definitely a good one! read more

Very reasonable pricing despite the high rent location in a convenient spot on Rue Rivoli. Assorted chocolates are all over the store in mix and match type bulk assortment. The flavor profiles are not that diverse it's mostly almond but there are some hidden gems. I like to pop by here and get a €3-4 snack as it beats anything from a corner store or vbending machine read more

High on glitz, this shop contains all kind of distracting things to look at, including chocolate sculptures that range from the cheesy (surfer?) to the bizarre (indescribable?). We tried the miniature round rolled pastries that are the claimed specialty and found it not that great. We also tried a chocolate dipped hazelnut marshmallow on a stick and thought it below par. The folks who work here are really nice, however. read more

I bought a few chocolates to give away to my friends as a gift from Paris, the stores were so beautiful and the chocolate art was incredible! So far I ate all of the ones I have destined for my co-workers and finding myself hoarding the rest! I am trying to place an order to get them shipped to the U.S. I don't care how much I have to pay for shipping, I need to get them! LOL read more

I'm not sure why so many yelpers are down on Larnicol, but it's a fabulous shop. The macarons aren't anything to write home about (go to Hermé, Sadaharu Aioki, Pain de Sucre, or La Durée for that), but the chocolate is so playfully imagined and delicious. Robins eggs and mussels made of chocolate! Tiny tublets of salted caramel! Guimauve lollypops enrobed in chocolate! The place to feel like a kid in a candy store... as an adult in a candy store. read more

What a fantastic selection of baked goods and chocolates they even warm things up for you if you wish. Great for gifts and on the spot sweet tooth read more

Love the chocolate covered marshmallows on a stick, when in Paris-always a must for me. Huge assortment of chocolates, macaroons; beautiful chocolate figurines read more

This was a very good find! We had a combination of chocolates and macaroons. My favorite was the raspberry macaron and the pistachio. The chocolates were very good too. We also tried the rose macaron, it tasted like a actual rose!! (very impressive). I would definitely come here again, the chocolate sculptures were amazing and the macaroons were PERFECT. read more

Nice selection of macarons, chocolates, and other sweets. You can buy a packaged box, or pick what you want self-service. I had their macarons and kouginettes, which were both good. For tourists who want to take them back home, macarons may keep a few days, but I think kouginettes need to be eaten quickly. read more
