Les Deux Magots

To cope with the rigors of winter, the hot chocolate from Deux Magots stands out as an essential drink to warm up and find comfort. Delectable and deliciously chocolaty, this beverage can be enjoyed both for breakfast and at tea time, on its own or with a pastries.

Les Deux Magots have carefully chosen the “Equatorial 55%” by Valrhona for its round, intensely chocolatey character and its vanilla notes, making it the essential choice for a delicious Old-style hot chocolate. Served elegantly on a silver tray, this chocolate comes in its pot with a cup, allowing each guest to enjoy more than two cups. The art of serving and the pouring ceremony add a touch of excellence to this gourmet experience.

carette

Among the best hot chocolates in Paris, the Carette tea rooms are institutions. Pastries and hot chocolate are a must when you sit down here. The latter is very delicious, creamy and thick just right. More than just a drink, we treat ourselves to a childhood memory with the pretty porcelain cups, the metal teapot and the discreet service. We love this retro touch that leaves no one indifferent.

angelina

THE HOUSE angelina is particularly famous for its ancestral hot chocolate " The African“. Often considered the best in Paris, its recipe has not changed since 1903. Three cocoas of African origin (Niger, Ghana and Ivory Coast) come together to give this character and this very particular taste recognizable among a thousand. As thick as you want, it can be "eaten" more than it is drunk. The beverage comforting ultimate.

Its French tea time and an enchantment and the tasty Grand Cru hot chocolate that it serves there is not there for nothing.
