Review from Sabahat N.
Calgary, AB
Oh Juliette et Chocolat. I have spent countless evenings here sitting at a corner table catching up with friends, laughing, eating and drinking all things chocolate. The wait has sometimes been long - the place is so popular that lineups used to be out the door, even when it was chilly out.
Their menu is nothing short of indulgence. They have profiteroles, salads, crepes, fondue, brownies, shots of chocolate, hot drinks, you name it, they've got it. Such a unique place you dont appreciate until you leave Montreal, then you find yourself CRAVING! But anyway! I digress!
Its no secret I love Juliette et Chocolat. But this location probably the least of the other two. This is the smallest, so it is very cramped, and it takes years to get someones attention to order.
Nonetheless, still one of my favourite spots in Montreal.

Review from annie t.
A Max Brenner meets The Chocolate Room. Best way to describe this place. Touristy, but still with quality food. A chocolate lover's heaven. We witnessed long lines at both locations, about a 20mn wait the night we came in.
They serve different assortments of hot chocolate (white, milk, varying degrees of dark) from many countries. We settled for hot milk chocolate. Since we weren't too hungry, shared a chocolate cake with ice cream on the side. Cake was very rich, decadent, delicious. Great choice!
Con: terrible slow service. Overpriced meals -
Review from Kim S.
Montréal, QC
Now lets get one thing straight- there is no question that the food here is worth every single penny they charge however the service is nothing short of disgraceful.
I can only speak on the location on St Laurent and what I experienced was enough to keep me away from there for a very long time. Staff were too busy talking to each other to take orders and clear tables. When the couple across from us asked to give their order in, the waitress told him to "hold on" and then rolled her eyes (this couple ended up leaving because they were so disgusted after being told to be patient 3 times)
When we got there, the restaurant had 10 people in it and it took over 20 minutes for us to submit an order. The staff look annoyed, uninterested and bothered no matter how friendly one tries to be. Getting the bill was a 45 minute ordeal and we ended up having to corner a busboy to get it. We waved someone over who dismissed us to go and chat with other coworkers. When another couple asked to speak with the manager, the waitress laughed and went and got a colleague to deal with him.
If you like chocolate and disgusting service, definitely stop by- i'm sure you'll get a full serving of both. I will be spending my money at their other locations. -
Review from Mike W.
Have you, like me, had a lifetime of 'Augustus Gloop' envy, wondering what it would be like to fall into a chocolate river and drink to your heart's content?
If so, here's your (golden) ticket to The Gloop Experience...save some nickels (quarters, actually), come here, and plan to order Alto el Sols until your eyeballs are swimming. You'll only end up drinking one, but you'll have the satisfaction of knowing you were ready/willing/able to drown in it. I drank 2 on separate occasions. Not gonna try to describe it. If you like chocolate, you're obligated to try one.
Be warned, though, that drinking from the glass and using a spoon will leave a lot of chocolate up and down the sides of the snifter, and you with commensurate regret.
During my 2nd visit (and after my 2nd 45-minute wait), I used a straw and drew from the middle of the brew. Only a few chocolate molecules were left on the sides of the glass. Airfare to Montreal, justified. -
Review from Alireza F.
Cool atmosphere, nice hot chocolate and in one word : Chocolate heaven
-
Review from Mj O.
Where do I begin? Chocolate heaven. We wandered into here upon me deciding that I wanted to end the night with some chocolate. My group ended up getting 2 crepes, 1 sundae, 1 fondant, 1 alcoholic drink and my hot chocolate. All of us shared bites from everything.
As nessa stated, the alcoholic drink was interesting. I forgot what we ordered but it was the one that had the spicy kick to it. Good, think but interesting nonetheless.
My hot chocolate came in a small pitcher and a latte mug. The hot chocolate was so think and rich even though i got the bittersweet chocolate -- my kind of hot chocolate.
Both the crepes (apple and strawberry/banana) were great. Crepes were light and think, with a drizzle of dark chocolate covering the fruit.
The sundae and the fondant were lovely as well. -
Review from Cherry M.
Crepes, chocolate, and whiskey. Um...Yay!
So, we were looking for a place to get a light supper but got sidetracked when I saw this place. What. Chocolate? Omg. We have to go here.
Overall First Impression: Big date place. Great for after dinner dessert or drinks. Super great for a light meal and a heavier dessert. It's a large space that got busy and loud. Service was also a little slow, but we saw it as "an opportunity to better practice the slow food movement". :)
Chocolate Heaven: Loads of chocolate drink options (both with and w/out alcohol). The classic style is lighter while Grandma's style is heavier and more like sipping chocolate. Desserts, brownies, fondue, ice cream, pastries, and flamed crepes...ALL with chocolate. [hear chorus of angels]
We ordered 2 savory crepes and 1 very awesome chocolate drink:
Him: The pesto goat cheese with walnuts
Her: The Vegetarian (Mozzarella, tomatoes, and pesto)
Her again: Irish Chocolate (Dark chocolate and whiskey)
I liked the vegetarian crepe better than the pesto goat cheese. The goat cheese was just a little too rich. Plus, anything tastes healthier with fresh tomatoes. The Irish chocolate was a thick, sipping drink, not too sweet, and with just the right amount of whiskey.
I would SO come back here. -
Review from neesa r.
I totally love this place!
I love the red cook hats they're wearing.
I love that they have two patios - front and back
I love the location
and of course I just love everything on their menu!
their alcohol chocolate drinks are very interesting. I only tried Nutcracker and Chocolate Mojito but both very yummy.
Smoothies are think and chocolaty rich.
brownies are yummy and always served warm.
crepes are yummy too!
I always go here when I'm in montreal! -
Review from Zee K.
Vancouver, BC
This place was pretty good. It's hard to be majorly terrible when all you well is incredibly rich and chocolate-y foods.
I came with a friend on a Tuesday night around 9:30. It was busy but we didn't have to wait for a table. Service was pleasant but a little slow and our foods themselves took a longer than expected. I had the white chocolate raspberry smoothie and my friend had a hot chocolate - we also split a.. I think it was called 'Trifle' heavy cream and salty caramel bits as well as brownie bits all served with hot chocolate to pour over it. Wow. Everything was very rich and sweet. Our beverages came with a free crepe, which we got to go because it was already too much dessert. (I'm guessing the crepe would have been way more delicious at that time than for breakfast the next day, which is when I ate it. )
The desserts were pretty delicious, but as far as chocolate standards go, pretty middling. Would I come here again, absolutely, especially with a chocolate-lover. Would a bring a foodie here for dessert? Probably not. The selections were too standard and the quality only average.
That said, unless you are a chocolate nerd, you should probably read this review as 4 stars. -
Review from Gerald T.
After reading some of the reviews I went to Juliette Et Chocolat expecting a Cafe Rude / Soup Nazi experience and therefore I was both disappointed and pleased to be greated by a friendly and helpful staff at Juliette Et Chocolat. I am a hot chocolate nut, who rewards himself with two cups of hot cocoa each night of the year as a reward for staying within my dietary guideliines during the day. During any year I will go through 30 canisters of cocoa powder with my favorites being Allegro, Lake Champlain and Dagoga Xocotatl. I had the Chocolat Epice at Juliette and without question, it is the best I have ever had. The Intense Chcolate Brownie for dessert was warm and everything I hoped it would be. I felt the portion of the Chcolat Epice was generous for $5.95. I will be back in Montreal in November and I guarantee that I will make it back to Juliette Et Chocolat.

Review from Ajay R.
Had one of their savory crepes... the grilled tomato and goat cheese. Excellent! For dessert, the chocolate fondant with salted caramel. Was also very good but should have been served warm.
-
Review from Jordan M.
Wow!
Okay I'm going to take another line to say it again....
WOW!!
What a nice place! First of all, my girlfriend and I are certainly fans of chocolate, and so we figured we MUST go here. She'd been here once before and had a great time, and she knew I'd love it. ..... INDEED!
So even though this place is designed around chocolate, they have some great salads and crepes too! The entire menu isn't chocolate.
We started with a bottle of cidre, which is typical for my girlfriend and I. We each had a nice salad. Hers was strawberries and goat cheese on a nice, hefty bed of mixed greens. This was all topped with a strawberry-chocolate dressing of some sort. Mmmm... Mine was a mixed green salad with spinach, chicken and warm goat cheese. What an amazing combo! I told my girlfriend we should get a different thing every time we come, but I'll have a hard time because I"ll want to order that amazing salad again!
For dessert, they had quite an assortment. Half the menu or more is chocolate-something or another. My girlfriend had a nice little peanut brownie which she said was absolutely delicious. I had a martini which tasted like a melted chocolate raspberry bar mixed with liquor. Truly unique and yummy! The service was okay, though a little slow. This was probably due to the fact that they were so busy. We went on a Sunday night and the line was out the door (literally!) We sat within viewing distance of the door, and noticed that the line was there during our whole meal (maybe... 1 hour 15 minutes). What a nice place! We WILL be back (again and again and again...) -
Review from Fabio N.
Toronto, ON
Now THAT'S what I'm talking about! Those are the crêpes I dream about, with rich chocolate and paper-thin dough. The chocolate drinks are also pretty much amazing (be sure to try the grandma-style hot chocolate).
Ok, so why only three stars then? Well this is Montreal, so obviously the service sucked. This was a constant during all the trip: amazing places with crappy service. How come, people? This is a touristic city! Act like you want tourists and nobody gets hurt.Listed in: Montreal

Review from Wilson K.
What's all the hype? Their specialty, the chocolate drinks, are indeed scrumptuous, but the decor is drably commercial and slightly dirty. I also find the red hats artificially cutsie, on the Disney side. The coffee is some of the worst we've had. Like KC M, we found the service was crass and uncaring, only prompt in delivering the bill and with little else to recommend it.
If you do go, I'd recommend sitting outside, when you can find a seat, but not right by the street unless you enjoy being heckled. Except that the chocolate does live up to its reputation, I'd not recommend this place to anyone. Why have all that wonderful chocolate, and then act like the Hershey theme park? -
Review from Jen C.
Cute little chocolate café in the heart of the Latin Quarter. They have chocolate in everything you can imagine, so whatever your fancy, surely you can find it here. Had the iced latte and peanut butter brownie. Not as decadent as some of the other menu items, but was really good nonetheless. They even have a chocolate "shot" on the menu as well as fondue dipping chocolate. Great place to sit outside in the sunshine and people watch and catch up. Would return when I'm getting a serious chocolate craving!

Review from Renata R.
Juliette Et Chocolate is quite an experience. You don't know if you rate it "OMG AWESOME" because of the amazing chocolate, or if you just walk away and punch all staff in the face because you've experienced the worst service of your life.
What I'm trying to say, the chocolate is really good, but the service is so bad, is almost compromising. They should give more chocolate to their staff, I'm sure it would solve the problem. -
Review from mike j.
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. -
Review from Mohammad R.
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! -
Review from Alexandra D.
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?Listed in: What I love in Montreal

Review from Cat N.
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! -
Review from Andrea M.
Montréal, QC
For chocolate lovers, but be prepared to wait (to be seated and to be served). Most dessert items are better shared to save yourself a sugar-induced coma (particularly any of the ice cream dishes).
My low score is due to consistently poor service (at both locations) and overpriced menu. I have ordered the lemon and sugar crepe on a couple of occasions and both times there was a tiny dab of filling in the center of an otherwise dry crepe, so even the food can leave you wishing for more (although, generally, the food is the redeeming part and it is the only reason I have visited this restaurant more than once).
It is a great concept, but it's not really worth the hassle. If you want a decadent chocolate experience, visit suite 88. -
Review from Laurence W.
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.) -
Review from Dave H.
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. -
Review from Sunny M.
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. -
Review from R. L.
For pictures and more information, please go to: http://rollingwrites.b...
The fruits and melted chocolate crepe I had was SO DECADENT, it's simply mindblowing. At first you would think that the fruits would be a healthier option. BUT YOU WILL BE WRONG. The generous serving of chocolate ice cream, the crazy amount of chocolate syrup, the wide variety of fruits- berries, apples, raspberries, pineapples. I can't believe I ate all these on my own. You'd be better off sharing this. The sourness of the fruits complemented the sweetness + bitterness of the chocolate.
Go early though, places fill up really fast! -
Review from Mukur H.
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. -
Review from Peter G.
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). -
Review from christine c.
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. -
Review from Ariel G.
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. -
Review from Luis M.

Excellent service.
Beautiful patio.
Good crepes. -
Review from Chad T.
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. -
Review from a t.
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! -
Review from Stas Z.
Toronto, ON
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. -
Review from Al A.
Unbelievably slow, rude, and unprofessional service.
Tasty hot chocolate. Somewhat expensive. Good location. -
Review from Kaz H.
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. -
Review from KC M.
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. -
Review from Hana B.
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. -
Review from Amador A.
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. -
Review from a t.
Excellent dessert crepe. We shared a chocolate and pear crepe. It was smothered in dark chocolate, flambé with liquor and had two large scoops of vanilla ice cream.
The restaurant was very cosy but not claustrophic. They were able to seat all of us, 2 adults and 3 children without an difficulties. The server was very helpful when we inquired about nut allergies ...go with the hot chocolate or lemonade in that case. -
Review from Mitch S.
Toronto, ON
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 :)
