| - Delicious quality chocolate desserts in a trendy and inviting setting.
I've visited 2 other Juliette and Chocolat locations in Montreal which are more or less the same. They're always busy, especially in the evening, expect a line up.
I visited this Dix 30 location on a Friday evening with my cousin, had no problem being served - there were many available spots but we were seated in the same corner as all the big groups which prooved to be quite noisy...
The menu is grand, intimidating if it's your first time. There's an assortment of hot chocolate drinks, where you can choose the percentage of cocoa, milk, cream as well as cocktail concoctions with cream liqueurs.
I ordered a white chocolate and raspberry couli smoothie as I was in the mood for something cooling in this overheated environment.
With that, I got a crepe with semi sweet dark chocolate, strawberries and bananas, fool proof choice. They let you pick the type of chocolate - a step up from other crepe places that just spread that processed nutella.
Everything is rich and decadent. I've previously tried their sundae and brownie desserts which are equally satisfying.
Wait staff was particularly attentive, she made sure to give us time and check up on us when we were eyeing the menu, came several times to refill our glasses of water and when she noticed my cousin and I were having good conversation, she did not interrupt us for the bill nor chase us out.
We spent nearly 2 hours there, chatting and catching up on lost time - unfortunately the longer we stayed, the more people starting coming in and it became very loud. Maybe not the best place to have a conversation on a friday evening, but food is delicious, I definitely understand why this place is always packed.
Only drawback is the price, for my smoothie and my crepe, walked out of there with a 15 dollar bill + tip.
