| - This is my go-to place when I need to bring a really nice gift to someone, and I know they will appreciate chocolate. Honestly though, there are very few people who don't appreciate some good chocolate, so I find myself heading to Suite 88 more and more often (not that that is a bad thing!).
It all started a few summers ago when I needed a thank you gift for some family we were going to be visiting in another city. I needed a gift that would travel well, including passing the "no liquids" rule because I was flying carry-on. I remembered that the couple in question had mentioned they LOVED Juliette et Chocolate when they last visited Montreal, but I didn't have the time to make it to one of their locations on my lunch hour that day. Enter Suite 88. I had visited the St Denis location in the past for delicious brownies and hot chocolates, so I knew the chocolate was good. And the downtown location was just a hop skip and a jump away from my workplace. Excellent! I settled on a box of 6 bars, choosing an assortment of dark, milk and white chocolate. It was a success! We were the talk of our family for the rest of our visit, as cousins dropped in to sample the delicious chocolate "from Montreal".
As an FYI, if you choose 6 bars, they will wrap them up in a little box, and then wrap up the box in a pretty bag. My tip is to go in and browse the different types of bars (they are in a display case), and write down the ones you want. It will take awhile, I'm warning you, because there are so many delicious sounding options! Hand you list to a staff member and then a few minutes later your order will be all wrapped and pretty, and all you've got to do it pay for it.
