Chocolats Geneviève Grandbois
(Shopping - Specialty Shops)
138, ave Atwater Atwater Market, stall C-1, Montréal  H4C 2G3 • 514-933-1331 • 514-270-4508
Distance: ~2.350 km *
        Description: The finest ingredients and carefully chosen flavors are the hallmarks of Chocolats Geneviève Grandbois. Sometimes, the combinations might sound a bit strange – the Monte Cristo is infused with cigar leaves, Balsamico is made with 25-year-old balsamic vinegar, Truffe blanche with white truffle oil – but the final product always "works." A sublime caramel filled chocolate (enhanced by fleur de sel) is one of the top sellers; other options include a top-of-the-line Amedei Chuao collection, an amazing chai chocolate, and one filled with passion fruit and coconut milk. Divine!
