Praline & Chocolat - Château-Richer

You want to spoil? You will find excellent pastries and chocolateries made on site. Everything is delicious.

This tiny shop is easy to overlook (despite the sign on the main road), but it's definitely worth seeking out. The chocolates, tarts, and cakes are made right there, utterly delicious, and fairly priced. And the owner, who served us, was patient and charming. Were it not for my waistline, I'd buy a pain au chocolate every morning and a gateau every evening!

Delightfully surprised to find this little shop near Montmorency Falls Park. After spending a couple of hours exploring the waterfall and surrounding area, we set out to find pastries, gelato, and coffee. This hit the mark and far exceeded any of our expectations. It is...located about 10 minutes past the falls and a good 25 minutes outside Quebec City. It was well worth the drive. We ordered gelato for the kids. Probably the best we’ve had in awhile. Super creamy and flavorful without being overly sweet. Hubby and I shared (fought over) the almond and chocolate bread. Simply amazing!! We bought one to go to appease ourselves. We also enjoyed the mochachino. It was the perfect blend of sweet chocolate and bold espresso. Everything was perfectly flavored without being overly sweet. We also left with a dozen beautifully colored macaroons. I’m sure we will love them! Staff was super friendly and clearly a talented pastry chef. She spoke just enough English to tell us popular gelato flavors and favorite pastries. Note that the shop is small with very little outside seating. It appears to serve the local community with a high volume of take-out orders.
