Discovering Edwart Chocolatier

Tucked away on Rue Vieille du Temple in Paris's vibrant Le Marais district, Edwart Chocolatier captivates visitors with its dedication to innovative chocolate craftsmanship.

The Chocolate Experience

Edwart's signature bonbons are petite yet bursting with decisive flavors, designed to be savored in one bite.

Vegan options abound, including full boxes, orangettes, bars, and spreads made with roasted cocoa and caramelized almonds. Tastings are often available, guided by knowledgeable staff who personalize recommendations.

Unique Flavors and Innovations

Edwin's passion for gastronomy and mixology shines in daring combinations such as Polynesian curry, combava bark ganache, sesame praliné with coriander, saffron ganache, and monkey bread from baobab fruit. Tasmanian pepper, bouye, and oolong tea add cosmopolitan flair. Tablets, spreads like the 58% hazelnut paste, and individual confiseries make perfect souvenirs. The shop's narrow, elegant space enhances the intimate, treasure-trove feel, with jars of spreads lining counters and shelves.
