Review from Emilie C.
1/4/2012
My sister lives in Montreal and insisted that when I visited, we dine at Juliette & Chocolat. Immediately, the space is quite lovely. With brick walls, nice lighting, and some touches of white embellishments on the high ceilings, the atmosphere was very pleasing. Not to mention the display cases of assorted chocolates! Now those were enticing...
We began with a shared decadent, chocolate-based beverage with an alcoholic touch of creme de menthe, served chilled in a martini glass with a dollop of peppermint-laced whipped cream. Following this delightful bevvy, we decided on sharing a crepe avec poivre, fromage de chevre, et de miel with a side of mixed greens. Once it arrived, in a very timely manner, we consumed what lay on the plate. The crepe was served at the perfect temperature for the fromage de chevre to be all melty, allowing us to spread the cheese around the crepe. Mmmm, yum! After that, we decided to try another crepe which we were also first interested in, with balsamic reduction, fromage de chevre, and roasted tomatoes. This second crepe was gone as quickly as the first! Delectable indeed.
What a fantastic (first) experience at this gem of a chocolate restaurant! Definitely returning before my departure from Montreal, perhaps when we have more of a chocolate craving for a dessert dish! -

Ohhhh Juliette et Chocolat! What's not to love about your chocolately goodness? If you're in town you simply MUST make a stop at this Montreal institution. This particular location is nice because its so much bigger than the others throughout the city. Its really spacious with lots of tables and the line-up goes faster than others! I remember, a few years ago now, this place used to be a supper club-nightclub type place and the transformation is crazy! You now feel like you're in a quaint little bakery shop! The service is always pretty good, if non-descript. Nothing to write home about but never awful either.
The real attraction is the FOOD though, my gawwd its good. I always order the Chocolat fondant or Caramel fondant--like a lava-cake with delicious filling ooozzing out with the best vanilla ice cream you've ever tasted served on the side. You might get it and think 'gee, that's pretty small,' but looks are deceiving. I'm always full after eating it--its rich but delicious! You can't go wrong either with any of the brownies. The 'fleur de sel' is particularly good (it is Quebec after all!) and pair it with a scoop of ice cream and you've got the perfect treat! If you go, you simply must have a hot chocolate. The hot chocolate is not the powered crap you buy from a grocery store--or even a coffee shop, these days--but rather legitimate chocolate melted down and mixed with hot milk. They also offer some savoury crepes and while I've personally never ordered one everyone who has tells me they're also very good. If you don't have a lot of time--but want to experience the Juliette experience--they offer all of their brownies to go and you can simply order with the hostess at the stand with the till/cash register.
Go! You won't regret it! -

I get the caramel brownie trifle whenever i go and boy is it just heavenly.
I honestly don't have a single friend that's been to Juliette and chocolat that doesn't love this place.
One of my friends is a celiac and lactose intolerant and even she has a dessert she loves from there.
The only downside is that I wished the service was better, I've been to all locations and i think they don't train their employees very well because the service is always pretty bad. -

It's been a while since I was here, but everyone raves about this place!
I only had the Hot Chocolate, but it was more of a semi-liquid chocolate concoction. You have to stir it to keep it from solidifying!
The flavor was very unique and it was delicious. The chocolate fondue left a lot to be desired though... -

The only drawback to having found this lovely chocolate shop is that it's so darn expensive. I barely managed to pay for my vinaigrette brownie without wincing but damn that brownie was good. I think I ate it a week after buying it and it was still perfectly moist and fudgey.

Amazing! Only reason it is not 5 stars is that it is kind of pricey for dessert, though the quality of the dessert makes the price not a bad deal. The brownies are delicious!

I think this place has become pretty legendary in recent years, this particular location is spacious and the drinking chocolate is always a good option. The service is just whatever, but the desserts are the best in town.

While I can say that the chocolate ice cream was damn near close to the best ever and the chocolate and pecan mouse will knock your socks off...the service lacked so terribly that I can't help but give 3 stars.
If you would have thrown it to the ground and passed a plastic fork...we would have still eaten it and cried in endless joy but that's not the point. It COULD have been a wonderful experience, one of the best but you screwed me Juliette. Get your chocolate coma staff a shot of espresso and a tad bit of direction and you'd have yourself a true gem. -

Yum, yum, yum, yum yum!!!! This place came extremely well recommended. While I love chocolate it isn't quite worth the hype.... but still DELICIOUS.
My boyfriend and I went on the coldest day on record,,, something like -17 F. We had to stop in to a bunch of hokey stores all the way down in order to keep from freezing to death. Once we finally made it, it was warm and inviting.
We each had hot chocolate - great, but almost too thick to drink. We then split a dark chocolate fondue... fruits were ripe and sweet. Chocolate was thick and dark. -

I LOVE this place. It's so cute, kind of like a Serendipity. One of the best coffees I've ever had. I brought back the hot chocolate in a jar to give to my friends as gifts. They all loved it. I wish there were a place like this in Miami!

Probably one of the best desserts place I have visited in my life!
This restaurant looked so inviting from the outside - with its homely Christmas decorations and warm lighting ... perfect reprieve from the cold winter weather!
Friend ordered (and I tried): Chocolate Profiterole - they were WOW - the puffs had chunks of hard dark chocolate amidst premiere quality vanilla ice-cream. A dense layer of thick hot chocolate coated all three profiteroles. 4 stars for the profiteroles.
I ordered: The Medley which comprised an extreme brownie, vanilla ice-cream and a small flask of Grandma's Chocolate. This Medley was so melodious that I had the primitive urge to skip around the restaurant after savouring my first bite. Mind-blowing delicious. 4.5 stars for The Medley.
4 stars for its cozy ambience! -

I am in love.
I'm as much a feminist as the next person, but walking into this place and inhaling that warm chocolaty smell, I could just feel all my PMS-related bitchy-meanness melt away and my uterus and ovaries physically relax. Honey, we're home!
I had the milk chocolate hot chocolate, classic style and it was fabulous. Despite the 'classic style' being more creamy/milky than the 'grandma's style,' it was pretty syrupy and chocolaty. Sweet, creamy, chocolaty... hold me.
My boyfriend had the white chocolate crepe and liked it a lot. He said it was a little more white chocolate than he would have liked, purely because white chocolate is so sweet, but that yeah, he would go back and have more crepes.
Minus one star because the staff weren't overly friendly. I'm not asking for a hug, a kiss and a Christmas card, but smiles would have been nice. And how could you not smile when you get to wear one of those awesome hats every day?? -

I love chocolate! I'm not sure why it has taken me so long to find a dessert place dedicated to it but finally! Heaven. Chocolate heaven.
So even after a filling (and lacklustre meal) I was happy to find this just down the street from where we were - I can't say no to chocolate. I love the red floppy chef hats that all the waitresses wear (they probably hate it) - it's cute and adds a cute look to the place.
We were seated right away (we came around 8pm on a week night). Their menu is extensive. They have savoury crepes but of course, the menu is dominated with chocolate desserts & drinks.
Ordered:
The Antillaise crepe ($13.95): grilled bananas & pineapples with two scoops of ice cream with chocolate sauce drizzled all over it. It's one of their flaming crepes (yes - flaming!). So it was flamed with rum. So I was expecting a fiery of FLAMES but alas it was only meek blue ones that can only be seen in my photo if you zoom in. Oh well, the flame itself was great! Grilled pineapples and chocolate - hello and welcome to my belly!
Araguni, chocolate to drink ($9.75): this is off their dark vintages menu. It was thick, warm and just slightly sweet. Hot chocolate from other places just seem like a farce now, though much better for your wallet. For $9.75, I thought this was a bit pricey.
Another one of those places that I wish I had in my home town. Sigh. -

Every female friend I have who has been to Montreal recommended this chocolate joint to me. Upon arriving I didn't realize it had multiple locations, but the one on Rue Saint Laurent had a great patio and spacious seating inside. I had a grandma's style cup of fair trade semi-sweet hot chocolate. It was frothy, just acidic enough, and I enjoyed sipping it leisurely as though it were a lovely port or postprandial cordial.
Still, the ambience, while nice, felt chain-like and I empathized with the waitstaff for having to wear red chef's hats. I remain loyal to Burdicks in Cambridge, but am glad we stopped at Juliette et Chocolate to experience it once. -

More of a 3.5. An endless menu of delicious chocolate-related confections of relatively good quality. A little on the pricey side though.

Sweet god, I had an amazing dessert here. The chocolate cake with a molten centre, covered in salted caramel with vanilla cream in a bowl on the side.
The service was lovely.
I am glad I do not live anywhere near this place, I would weigh 500 pounds. -

If I was living in Montreal, I would be a regular customer. This place is awesome!
I've been here a few times and I've fallen in love. Juliette & Chocolat has a very clean, bright, cozy and chic décor. The place is big and can seat many people which I like about the place. The staff is very friendly, but most of my visits here I was suffering through the service.
This restaurant offers uniquely flavoured chocolates from different countries with great quality. You have the option of having your chocolate grandma style, classic, milk, white and dark with any order that has chocolate. They also have chocolate cocktails which I absolutely loved! I had their choco-mojito and snow white (see picture). My choco-mojito consisted of chilled dark chocolate with a splash of cream mint liquor topped off with whipped cream and crushed mint candy on top in a martini glass. My snow white drink had chilled white chocolate with baileys with foam and a dust of cinnamon, also in a martini glass.
Other great chocolate or tooth decay options they have are a variety of crepes that come with either fruits, chocolate, ice ream, caramel, maple syrup and more; pastries, fondues, brownies, chocolate shots, variety of ice-cream etc. Everything is made with love and the presentation of the food is very nice too. What I love about the chocolate at Juliette & Chocolat is that their chocolate is not overly sweet to the point where it gets nauseating, it's just chocolaty in a very pleasant way.
Although this place is big for their chocolate, there are non-chocolate options too that I had the pleasure to enjoy. Their savoury meal options were my favourite! I love their pesto complete- buckwheat crepe stuffed with your choice of ham or turkey, your choice of pesto and egg with a side salad. Their chicken spinach with goat cheese was very good too- buckwheat crepe topped with spinach, good amount of warm goat cheese and tender strips of chicken with a side salad. Furthermore, I also had their Mexican salad which was uniquely delicious- mozzarella cheese with juicy chicken on mixed greens, served with crispy buckwheat chips and pineapple salsa.
The protions are great and food was consistent, fresh and delish each time. The prices are reasonable for what you receive. It may seem a bit pricey, but you're paying for the quality.
Overall, Juliette & Chocolat is an amazing restuarant! Expect everything except great service-service is very slow. My advice would be not to come here if you're in a hurry.Listed in: Montreal

If you are PMS-ing and need some chocolate and dessert, come here to join the other chocolate craving girls. There are lots of females in this restaurant.
The crepes are not that amazing, really. The food here in general is so-so to good. It is not like 'O M G' amazing kind of thing.
Like I would rather spend my calories somewhere else unless I really need my fix right away and it happens to be right in front of me as I'm walking down the street. -

Great coffees and chocolate. The staff is really nice but unfortunately they are not enough to take care of rush hours. I feel bad for them because when you go there and it is less busy they take good care of their customers.

Of the three times I've visited this place, the service has always been bad, good thing their hot chocolates are worth the pain.
If you like dark chocolate, then order from their Dark Vintage selection of hot chocolates. I ordered the Guanaja, the Araguani, and the Tanzania. "Grandma's Style" is the best, uber chocolately.
They're served with a small piece of chocolate too, treat after treat. (The least they can do to make up for the poor service.)
If you like Milkshakes, and are hungry, these will fill you right up with creamy goodness. Its not like Fat Burger's milkshakes, but a bit more chocolatelyish, its a rich shake.
As far as their crepes, they're okay, not so flavorful, kinda flimsy, that pesto goat cheese with walnuts. Eh, wouldn't come back here for that alone.
The prices aren't too high, but they aren't too low. Medium priced, for what I order its about $12 per cup. I was full after drinking my hot chocolate. I felt like I overdosed on chocolate.
To be completely honest, I felt sick, but its the kind where, its so good during the process...looking at the cup of chocolate, thinking, dang, I'm drinking a ton of calories and fat, and having a great time doing it. These drinks have nice consistency to them, they go down nice. The dark chocolate drinks are SO strong, but SO flavorful. Its like magic going down the tube.
I love a good cup of fancy hot chocolate.
If this place weren't in Montreal, I'd be a regular, butttt the next time I find myself in that area, I'd surely return. -

The service isn't always stellar, but this is the only place I've ever been to where I can't find a single thing on the menu I wouldn't like. I'm not saying that I've worked my way through it, because that would be a little absurd, but that I usually sit down and look at a menu and find at least a couple of things where I think "Did a drunk person come up with this combination?". Not so at Juliette et Chocolat. Oh, and everything I've tried at this place has been delicious. So... I'm looking forward to trying other stuff.

Chocolate chocolate everywhere; fondu, mounds, drinks, cakes, with ice cream, brownies ...... We didn't have any. What we did have were buckwheat crepes which were great. There are maybe a dozen varieties, mine was with chicken, spinach and goat cheeze. Totally enjoyable and unique. It's not a "stuff yourself" meal but well worth going for.

After some walking around, we stopped by for some drinks and munchies.
The restaurant is big and clean; the service was good. We were seated at a table by the window on St. Laurent so we got to people watch.
They serve everything chocolate - hot chocolates, alcoholic drinks, desserts, crepes & ice cream.
There were 3 of us and we each wanted to order a drink and split 2 crepes. But we were told that you have to order a crepe with each alcoholic drink. I don't believe the same rule applies to non-alcoholic chocolate drinks. So we ended up splitting 2 drinks and 2 crepes amongst the 3 of us.
The choco-mojito and Irish chocolate drinks were good. The choco-mojito was kinda thick though. The Irish chocolate is chocolate milk with whiskey (served warm).
Their crepes are made from buckwheat; they were thin and light. We ordered a turkey pesto crepe which was delicious. We also ordered a dark chocolate/banana/strawberry crepe. They were out of strawberry so they substituted blackberries instead. The dark chocolate was really good, not too sweet.
As others noted, this place is on the pricier side. Most drinks (even non-alcoholic) are above $6 dollars. You also cannot buy a drink at the counter and sit down, you must get waiter service. -

LOVE IT!! I've read the reviews regarding the poor service, but I've been lucky and have yet to encounter bad service at this place or the other locations. If you're a chocolate fiend, then this is your spot. It's a beautiful place, with a minimalist type decor and it's very clean. I go here for the "grandma style" thick, milk, hot chocolate: it's to die for!!! I've had the dark chocolate drinks as well, to which you can add spices, or fruits flavors, and the same applies: to die for!! There are lots of yummy things on the menu....such as the chocolate cake with a molten center covered in salty caramel with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side...have I said I love this place yet? Yes, it's the chocolate bomb! Their succulent products can be purchased so you can take the chocolate decadence home with you! A definite do!

Where should I start? Maybe with the Chocolate chaud a la Grandmere which is so thick that it leaves a trail akin to that of lava. Or perhaps with the Fleur du Sel Brownies that contrast the tang and bite of sea salt with the richness of caramel and the complexity of dark chocolate. Or maybe I should focus on the savories. The buckwheat crepes filled with layers of spinach and Gruyere or served au complete. The salad with their twirling garnishes and chocolate inspired dressings. Whatever you get, it will be amazing; that's why I've embarked on a mission to order every single article on the menu.
The new location is very convenient located on St. Laurent Boulevard, close to the hustle of downtown and the urban hip Plateau. During the evening, you may have to wait over an hour to get a table; however, if you go during the day, you're likely to be seated immediately.
The service is decent, but not spectacular. The waitress sometimes disappears and doesn't return for long lengths of time. In order to place order, get waiter, or request the bill, you'll often have to hail someone down.
However, what Juliette et Chocolate lacks in service it certainly makes up for in the menu. They serve a variety of hot chocolates, savory buckwheat crepes and salads, sweet crepes, ice cream sundaes, brownies, and other pastries. Last time I was there, we ordered buckwheat crepes and split a bottle of cidre brut. The buckwheat crepes are light yet hearty, perfectly complemented by a green side salad. Prior to that occasion, I've also had a dark chocolate-banana crepe, chocolate molten cake, more buckwheat crepes, a crepe flambé, an original brownie, an "intense" brownie, a fleur du sel brownie, and a dark hot chocolate "a la Grandmere". All were delicious, decadent, and very rich.
Overall, I love Juliette et Chocolate. The service is slightly frustrating, but the overall experience is amazing. For the best value, get a brownie. They're decently cheap (not more than you'd pay in a coffee shop), beautifully presented, and wonderfully good.Listed in: Rebecca H's Salad Spots

If you're looking for crepes, cross the street and head over to Cafeteria. But if you're searching for chocolate heaven, you've found it.
On our weekend get-away to Montreal, we stumbled upon some of the best brownies we've ever had. Juliette et Chocolat is pure, unadulterated decadence. A favorite was the Chocolate-Caramel with extra caramel sauce for dipping or simply pour it over and yum!
The brownies were so good we went back for extras to take back on our drive home. Full disclosure: Only 2 of 3 made it back home; the third didn't survive the drive back. So good! -

We'd walked past a few times drunk, it looked awesome but rather expensive. After a long talk we decided before we left we had to try a few things or else our Montreal trip wouldn't be complete: Poutine. Schwartz. Crepes. Old Port.
After a disappointing plate of poutine at la belle province (tip: you must be SHIT FACED to enjoy that slop) we decided to rebound with some chocolate. the glossy, chic over priced look and sound of Juliette Et Chocolate fit the bill for the crepes. and it was also next door.
We had grannies peanut butter hot chocolate. and after asking our waitress (condescending bitch btw!) what she recommended, sided with the crepe with fruit with ice cream and chocolate. it was like 11 bucks. the hot chocolate was more soup/spoon worthy. A bit too peanuty and lack luster for me and the whipped cream was just from an areosol can (whipping it your self is not that hard guys... was really disappointed. its like a pepper shaker at a fine dining restaurant. tacky) Buuuuut: the over priced crepe was delicious and really surprised us. It was enough for the two of us no doubt. After taxes our buttholes definitely ached something fierce, but hey, at least its a town full of attractive french people fucking you. -

Honestly? Only 4 out of 5? This has to be the best place for desert in town. Yes I agree there is a wait many times but who cares? They have great service and their deserts are phenomenal. I can't get enough of their intense brownie, really only true chocolate fans can handle it.

I came here on the suggestion of a friend. Clean, bright, lots of servers, chocolate heaven! My friend and I didn't get great service either. They forgot her order! I don't like if you want to sit at a table you have to have wait service. I'd rather order my drink, pay at the cash and than sit down.
It was the most expensive hot chocolate I have ever purchased $6.37. Was it good? Yes. Would I have known any better if it was a different kind of chocolate? Probably not. But anyways, it was a good experience. -

Agree with the reviews. I am in love with the place!
My friend recommended me to this place and just looking at it from the outside it gave a sense of a great quaint ambiance. Their variations of chocolate were huge.
We tried the Fleur de Sel Brownie since my friend recommended it. It's basically a chunky warm chocolatey packed brownie with a salted caramel drizzled over it. It sounds overbearingly sweet right? fortunately the salted caramel was slightly salty to the point that it made the combination amazing.
We also tried the fruit salad crepe which tasted devine as well. There were large amounts of fresh food and paired perfectly with drizzled white chocolate over the warm crepe.
The white chocolate raspberry cheesecake was unique too. The pie crust had a distinct taste with a slight hint of salt which really pulled the cake together.
Also tried the dark hot chocolate with nutella and a dark hot chocolate with vanilla ice cream. These would have been SUPER amazing on their own. But in my opinion, with our desserts it was too much chocolate overall. Get these on their own.
It's best to order regular milk with all the deserts so it can somewhat clean the palate from all the sugar but at the same time compliment the chocolate super well. -

Chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate. Especially when served in a high ball snifter makes one want to indulge even more. Excellent chocolate selection and crepes, but what turned me off was the poor service. I really don't like to wait 30 minutes after I've finished to pay my bill.

this is what i had expected and was actually forewarned-- expensive and
too expensive, but delicious nonetheless. coming from nyc and chicago, i know what lure chocolate has for any establishment that does it well. you get flavorful and yes, i will use the word "rich" once more with everyone else who already reviewed. hot chocolate---the taste and the texture are specifically complex, delicious, and of quality. if your pocket can stretch the way mine cannot so much of the time, it's good to try at least once. do not count on stellar service as in my case(s) it was spotty and inattentive. -

Very nice decor, and really great concept.
I always used to see small line-ups in front of this place and the St-Denis location. I finally decided to go and take a look at the menu. I only tried two of their specialized hot chocolates, and they were bot extremely good.
This is a great place to hand out. -

Review from Nicole T.

My first two experiences here have warranted a 5-star review, but my last visit brought down my rating to a 3.
The good:
The food is really good; I love chocolate and this is the perfect place for dessert or a date. Everything I've had here has been really delicious and they have cool combinations.
The bad:
The service is unbelievably slow, and they are understaffed when it comes to busy nights. The St Laurent location is REALLY loud and even more understaffed than the one on St Denis. But the real disappointment was coming here after dinner and hoping for a drink (most are above $9 and made of rich chocolate with a bit of alcohol). We were told (after waiting 20minutes for our waitress and taking all of that time to decide) that their liquor license only allowed alcohol to be served if the person that was ordering it got a "meal" - salad, sandwich, or crepe. I'm sorry - it is 11pm on a Friday and we're coming for dessert - why would I want to order a $10 chocolate and Bailey's with a SALAD? We were very disappointed that this rule was not mentioned anywhere on the menu or on signs and that we had never had a problem with this before during our previous visits. We were told only upon ordering by our (rude) waitress and had to pick something else on the spot.
Basically, if you have this type of liquor license (which is ludicrous for this type of place) then notify your customers or else they will leave feeling sour, which no one should do after having dessert! -

So delicious! I had the galettes brettones with goat cheese, pears and honey! So good. It was truly one of the best meals I've had in Montreal. I also enjoyed a nutella hot chocolate that was just so chocolatey and decadent: topped with whipped cream and hazelnuts. I will definitely be back here the next time I am in Montreal. Love this place! The atmosphere is also very bright and sunny with lots of white furniture and fixtures and large windows overlooking St. Laurent and Prince Arthur.
