| - Our first night in Montreal was insanely cold. After walking in the cold after dinner for like 15 minutes, JW and I decided to have some nice dessert before fighting the cold again on our way back to the hotel. Once we entered the Juliette et Chocolat, the lively and happy atmosphere quickly warmed us up. I instantly knew that we would have a good meal here!
We ordered fruit, melted chocolate and ice cream crepe. It was one of the best crepe I have never had in my life. First of all, I like it when the fruits and ice cream are placed on top of the crepe and not wrapped in the crepe because you get to eat everything at the same time in one cut. Most importantly, you get to see the pretty presentation all the dish.
There was A LOT of different kinds of fruits (at least 7!) While the bitterness of the dark chocolate helped to elevate the flavour of the fruits, the ice cream added a moderate amount of sweetness to the crepe. Therefore, we were not too overwhelmed by the crepe.
We also ordered the chocolate fondue duo. How could one not order chocolate at Juliette et Chocolat? We ordered extra-bitter and milk chocolate, hoping to get an equal balance of sweetness and bitterness. But we liked the extra-bitter a lot more because, again, it helped to bring out the flavour of the fruits. We found the milk chocolate to be a little too overwhelming.
As one might probably assume, banana and any kinds of berries, (strawberries, blueberries and blackberries) go really well with chocolate. Although there were a lot of fruits (pineapple, green apples, apples, grapes, organes, kiwi, pears) and they did go with chocolate, we still liked banana and blackberries the most. We could not finish all the fruits after eating all those from the crepe.
conclusion:
roasted!
if you are in Montreal and if you like chocolate, you should absolutely visit Juliette et Chocolat.
