All Reviews
Grandma style hot dark chocolate, paper thin crepes made before me or fresh puffy and crusty, just slightly oily croissant.
Extra shot of espresso to kick start the day in Montreal.
Perfect!
We got chocolate fondue, which was quite good. Good variety of fruits for dipping, and the chocolate was tasty. We also got milkshakes, which were alright (kind of on the watery side). The menu looked pretty extensive (and expensive!), and includes many different items. (The crepes the folks around us got looked really good.)
Unfortunately, the service really ruins the place. We had to wait in line for a table (on a tuesday night). The hostess was not particularly polite either. Once we sat down, we had to wait ages for the server to come by. They brought out our fondue first, and we asked about the milkshakes, and the girl who brought the food was extremely rude. When we finally had everything, we also had to wait ages for our check.
I understand that the place was quite busy, but I at least expect the staff to avoid being outright rude to the customers.
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.
When I went here, this place was packed. It's line was so long. We decided to wait it out, since it must be good with sooo many people waiting.
We tried a couple of the crepes. They were amazing. I couldn't try the chocolate. Definitely will next time.
It's a bit overpriced but well worth it.
This place is like a dream. I never thought a hot chocolate could be so good. Oh, how I wish we had a Juliette et Chocolat in San Francisco. The service was a great complement to the whole experience. I loved our server and I LOVED my hot chocolate. Gotta go back there before I fly back home!
I went back again the following day, but it was closed. They don't open till 11AM. BUT WOW!!! my first time here my fiance and I ordered the fleur de sole crepe and a balsamic vinegar brownie. BOTH were amazing.
The crepe was very well textured, and the sauce had an amazing salty, almost like salt water taffy, flavor and the stickyness of caramel.
The brownie was extremely rich with a few raspberries in it. It had a delicious balsamic vinegar drizzle over it.
I would both these again in the same sitting. They both complimented each other so well. One sweet and salty the other bitter and slightly acidic. Soo Soo Sooo good.
Brownies, Chocolate, Ice Cream, and Hot Chocolate. Wow, the chocolate options here are good.
I had the caramel hot chocolate, which came out served in a brandy snifter! (See photo) Also I had a brownie with hazelnuts, topped with hazelnut ice cream and literally steaming hot chocolate topping.
Service is slow, but if you're not in a hurry and looking to enjoy a leisurely dessert, definitely give this place a try. I'll be back for sure.
OMG THIS PLACE HAS THE BEST CHOCOLATE!!!!!
I ate here three times out of 4 days I was visiting montreal :) I had a chocolate milkshake, chocolate and fruit fondue, hazelnut ice cream with fruits crepe and a viennese coffee...ALL WERE DELICIOUS!!!!
you have to visit this place when you go to montreal!
had the banana and chocolate crepe and they did NOT skimp on the chocolate. YUMMMMMMMMM SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!! my friend ordered a salad that had some crepe on it and it was delicious too - it had fruit and it was just all nicely presented.
ordered something from the chocolate bar too - the dark and milk chocolate drink w/ ice cream. again, very good.
Before moving to Montreal I would always make a point to visit Juliette et Chocolat on St. Denis when I was in town. And with good reason. The chocolate is ohmygod so good. No, seriously.
So, last night while strolling down St. Laurent on my way to a Nuit Blanche exhibit, I was very happy to see the new (and quite big, I must say) location of Juliette et Chocolat and easily convinced my friends to escape the crowds and enjoy some chocolate. It wasn't a hard sell, quite honestly. I had the fondant au caramel salée and it was nothing short of heavenly. We definitely had no regrets foregoing the Nuit Blanche activities.
The crepes and fondue are also amazing, but the fruit smoothies aren't anything exciting. Then again, why order a fruit smoothie when the focus is clearly chocolate?

Unbelievably slow, rude, and unprofessional service.
Tasty hot chocolate. Somewhat expensive. Good location.
This place is all hype & a complete tourist trap. We waited in line into the sidewalk since this place is always flippin' busy beyond belief. Considering I am a chocoholic, I had to give this place a try per my friend who lives in Montreal. I was not impressed at all. We got the chocolate fondue for 2 & it wasn't even hot which didn't make sense to me. Our other friend got a crepe & it came out open which was even more strange. Crepes are supposed to be folded, hence why you put stuff in it.
Overpriced. No. WAY overpriced. But their chocolate and crêpes taste so good. Still, ridiculously expensive.
The atmosphere is very boring. And I am really annoyed that they make crêpes right where people eat, not in a kitchen, - smoke hurts my eyes a lot. If you wear contact lenses, be aware.
My daughter discovered this place that is within 2 blocks of her apartment. I have been there twice and had the Dark Thick Hot Chocolate. It is totally deliciously decadent. It reminds of a cafe on Rue de Rivoli in Paris.
I did not, on either visits, sample the food. In my mind this place is not about that. I suspect they will not survive, in the long run, but it's fun while it lasts.
As a point of comparison Soma is about 35% better.
I came here with a friend and got two brownies and two cappuccinos to-go (Note: Don't bother with coffee/cappuccinos get the hot cocoa). Service was nice but flaky. We got our order to go and it seems as if we introduced a novel concept to Julette.
It took nearly fifteen minutes to get two brownies and two cappucinos all the while we did our best to stay out the way in a very busy entrance. Our cappucinos were handed to us in plastic cups (which were warping from the heat), and our brownies were tossed unceremoniously into paper bags.
Classic brownie was terrible. Something that I could have gotten out of a package or from a super market. The classic was dry, and was most certainly stale and may have been a shrink-wrapped brownie from a gas station.
Luckily we got another more expensive brownie which was fantastic and blended dark, milk, and white chocolate. Moist, dense, ever-so-slightly gooey It still suffered from being a little too sweet and not quite as rich as I was hoping for. But a chocolate experience much more on-par from a place like this. My partner and I shared this second brownie after tossing the first and it was plenty for two.
But overall this place strikes me as awfully pricey for what it serves up. Nothing here is significantly more awesome than you'd get at a solid bakery (and some if it is quite bad).
I came here for breakfast expecting to have a big crepe menu. Apparently they didn't but of course they did have a good food and drink selections of all sorts of chocolate.
As far as atmosphere they have a nice outdoor seating area where its good to people watch.
Food wise I had the 3 cheese crepe which was good but not full. I did not get any cheese till about 1 1/2 inch in and it wasn't that big of a crepe. Drinks I had the white chilled chocolate martini which was very very good.
I would recommend this place for an after dinner desert or drink, not for breakfast.

This place makes me religious, why, cos I wanna scream every religion's prophets while showing how much I loved this place.
The place is semi-underground and you kinda have to wait in line in order to be sit, which is not bad at all, cos the hot smell of chocolate keeps you busy on dreaming what you're gonna order, why ur gonna order that and how violently you're gonna devour THAT THING with the HOT CHOCOLATE. AWWWWH! greatnessssssssss.
I ordered this fantastic thing with vanilla ice-cream, topped with hot chocolate on top which had become frozen from the ice-cream and there was a triangular crepe to take ur mind-blowing chocolate experience to the highest level.
On Rue Saint-Denis on Latin Quarter this has to be tried at least 5-6 times while you're visiting other beauties of Montreal.
When you get there and indulge into the chocolate experience, you'll remember Sunny from Yelp! I can assure you on that.
A lot has been said, so I'll keep it brief.
Very nice, slightly underground patio.
Buckwheat crepes - one of the best I've ever had with very interesting toppings in sweet and savoury.
Good chocolate. It could be overwhelmingly rich, so chose carefully and savour!
Coffee is good, just not hot enough. I kept trying first with caramel mocha, then espresso, and finally an americano. It was me searching for coffee heaven that morning. The amount of whipped cream on top of that mocha - boy, it could easily have been a meal in itself.
It was a drab & extremely rainy day Saturday when i went to visit Montreal. I'd looked up Juliette's before heading out, stopped to ask the directions at the visitors center. The girl (AND the guy's) reaction when i mentioned the name had me sold. It was a must try the way they were almost swooning by the name... I am so glad i trekked out to this small but lively little cafe, because i sure as hell was in for a treat :D
My friends and I ordered the chocolate fondue (my fav was dipping kiwi fruit pieces in dark chocolate) and the extreme brownie( intense semi-sweet brownie with icecream and hot chocolate sauce) was to die for. I regret not having enough time to go back here again and am totally planning my next Montreal trip, based on the fact that i want to go try more of the chocolate yumminess!
If you are serious about chocolate and are in Montreal, this place is somewhere you MUST go.
This wonderful little place is very close to the Berri-UQAM metro stop, and yet my mom and I managed to get completely lost and walk for at least 20 minutes in the wrong direction. No matter; it was completely worth the extra effort once we finally made it inside and saw the menu. I don't think I even knew there were so many kinds of chocolate - talk about overwhelming (in a very, very good way).
Though it was summer, I could resist ordering grandma-style hot chocolate in a variety that had a slight hazelnut flavor. I was surprised that not only was is not overbearingly sweet, it was hardly sweet at all. Again, this was a good thing - although it was also very rich so I had to drink slowly. My mom had a banana-chocolate milkshake, and it was probably the most chocolatey, rich, delicious shake I will ever taste in my life. I would highly recommend it as a cold alternative to the delicious hot chocolates.
Mom ordered a maple syrup crepe and I had the salted caramel crepe with fleur de sel. Hers was good, but mine was one of the best crepes I've ever tasted in my entire life. The flavor of the salted caramel was intense but very balanced - so it didn't feel too thick, or too overwhelming. Just absolutely delicious.
This was well worth our inadvertent detour and not too expensive for the quality of the food (and especially the quality of the chocolate)!

Since there are so many reviews I will just add my 2 cents.
I LOVE the chocolate Port, alcohol and chocolate were meant to be together!
A really great date place if either of you are into chocolate. In the winter, definitely try the grandma-style hot chocolate...it's out of this world. On the weekend, expect to wait 10-25 minutes if you're coming in the evening...it's quite busy.
Be a good date and share some a fondu :)
Awesome desserts, I had some sort of chocolate banana split with brownie pieces. Although the selection of tea is lacking (8-10) it is all mid to high quality. Will return again for sure.
I love this place. I stumbled upon it accidently while on a vacation in Montreal. They serve crepes and bubbling hot chocolate, an ingenious combination that anyone is going to like. They have a menu of hot chocolate options, all ultra-thick and rich. They bring it to you in a steaming carafe, and you leisurely pour and drink your way to paradise. I liked it enough to go back a second time on my short visit.
(Side anecdote: I overheard another patron begging the owner (?) to let her franchise the store in the Middle East. Why not? Love it.)
Juliette & Chocolat is a cafe, creperie, and chocolate bar (yes, a "bar a chocolat"). Smoking is permitted outside, so we opted to go indoors. After a slight wait, we found ourselves in their air conditioned, smoke-free interior. This is a popular place and it's easy to see why. Just glance through their menu - complete with photos and English/French text (helpful for those who can't translate quickly) - and you'll find their offerings are simply outstanding!
Our server was genial, helping us through our agonizingly difficult selection process. After much deliberation, I settled for an really strong espresso-flavored dark chocolate brownie (C$3.45) that literally had crunchy coffee beans in it, and a rich, chocolatey flavor. To balance, I had a mango sorbet, which had a refreshingly cold, refreshingly smooth, vibrant taste. I took a bite of brownie with mango on top, and I was in heaven. (I sampled my friend's pear crepe and nutty bowl, both which were surprisingly good.) [See my photos!]
If I could legally marry Juliette (and Chocolat), I would. Recommended.
This was the very first place I stopped to eat in Montreal and I have to say, I wasn't impressed at all. Service is really lackadaisical - my water was given to me without ice (warm) and was never refilled. It was also really hard to flag the wait staff down to place my order and get my bill (though I think that may have been a cultural misunderstanding - in a lot of places in Montreal I saw you went to the front to pay without a bill). When delivering my ice cream and brownie to the table, the ice cream slipped off the brownie and hit the table on one side. I watched in horror as my waiter just pushed the ice cream back on my plate. Rather than dealing with refusing it, I just didn't eat that part of the ice cream. But ick. As it turned out, it was no great loss. I mean, an ice cream and brownie is hard to mess up, and Juliette Et Chocolate's was fine, but nothing exceptional (I agree with Peter G. that I've had equally good brownies from supermarkets). It certainly wasn't worth the $7 or $8 they charged for it. Fortunately, all of my other Montreal gastronomic adventures went uphill from this.
I will say the patio is very, very nice. It's a great place for people watching on Rue Saint-Denis. Just don't expect refills on anything.

OMG, I dont even like chocolate that much but found myself drinking 2 cups of hot chocolate, eating chocolate fondue with 2 different kinds of chocolate, and devouring a brownie.
Something about the chocolate here...its perfectly rich without tasting overly processed. You can pick from extra bitter, semi-sweet, milk, and white. Also, there are a variety of different types of chocolate to pick from for your hot chocolate drink as well.
If you are a chocolate lover, you should really really really try this place.
not sure if this is the same location i went to, but juliette et chocolat in mile end was divine.
i had the salty caramel crepe with fleur de sel and a chocolate banana smoothie - both were incredible. pricing a little high, but all to be expected for designer chocolate, and their food looked so pretty it may as well have been fake. would definitely go back!

In the Quartier Latin, near Université du Québec à Montréal. Close to the Grande Bibliothèque on the Saint-Denis street.
If you love chocolate, this is the place to go. Hot chocolate is very thick. Don't wait until it is cold because you won't be able to drink it, you'll need a spoon to eat it.
You can use your laptop (or other wifi devices like the iPhone) to access the Internet at this location. This is an "Ile sans fil" hotspot (free acount, Ile sans fil is a non-for-profit grassroot group who manages hotspots in Montréal) but follow the rule: 1 hour for each 10 dollars you spend there (this rule is NEVER enforced formally but it is a question of honnor).
Kind of gimmicky, but fun. My husband ordered Viennese coffee (he said it was perfect) and I ordered Viennese hot chocolate, which was served lukewarm! I would have complained, but the servers were so busy that I decided to suck it up. The hot chocolate itself was nice, very thick and chocolaty. I would like to go back and try some of their crepes, especially the salted caramel one.
The crepes here are fantastic and well worth the wait. The wait staff is actually really good, and they better be with all the options you've got in front of you. The Hot Chocolate I had was marvelous, and the crepes were amazing. I didn't even order anything fancy and they were still amazing!
On my second visit, somebody set up us the Bombe. It was an incredible blend of both textures and flavours. I was floored.
The place is a comfy restaurant too. I'm certainly planning a trip when I'm out there in August for WorldCon.

ok. if u werent whoaed by this place... you probably don't like chocolate all that much. :) their chocolate makes u forget anything else going on at this place... like their at times slow and not so attentive service.
also... perhaps u probably haven't tried their chocolate and rapsberry mousse, or their classic brownie, or their hot chocolate, or their sweet pears crepe, or anything with chocolate on their menu... pretty much. :)
I only had the "milk" hot chocolate but it was THE BEST hot chocolate that has ever passed my lips. By the time I got to the bottom I was chewing on little chocolate morsels. SO GOOD!!! Swiss Miss will never be the same after experiencing Juliette Et Chocolat.
Last time was here, Yelp didn't cover Montreal. Now it does, so I can adequately express my love for Juliette et Chocolat. I don't drink alcohol but my friends tell me that the Mojito, etc. are very good. I had the chocolate cake with hazelnut ice cream, fantastic combination. It's always crowded but we didn't have to wait more than a few minutes either time.
I was recently in Montreal with my boyfriend, checking out Yelp for some yummy place to grab a snack. Based on the helpful review from Laurence, we decided that this might be our spot!
Although we got there around 10:00pm on a Monday night, there was a line to get a table. We waited patiently, and it was definitely worth it. We ordered some crepes, hot chocolate, and a milkshake (I can't turn down a good milkshake). Everything was delicious! Many choco-centric menu items are offered in varying degrees of sweet and bitter, so everyone is sure to find something to suit their tastes.
For those of you who are not entirely interested in sampling the desserts, there are also savory items on the menu--buckwheat crepes with goat cheese, ham, asparagus, etc. Didn't get to try them this time, but I would definitely stop by again if I had the chance!
Great place for dessert! However, be prepared to wait... the lineups can be pretty long. The dessert is fabulous! I tried the Chocolate Praline Bombe... it was heavenly! They serve savoury items too for those that don't have a sweet tooth.
absolument divin.
Been here a couple times. This place has great deserts, but the service is LAME. Slow, non attentive, and rude. This place can easily be 4 stars if not for the service.
