Extraordinaire Chocolate

by klevy

This French Chocolate Boutique is one of my favorite spot in upper east. A petit store has elegant and friendly ambiance. I can never resist the dark chocolate truffles and their pistachio bonbons but to stay in shape, I go to buy gifts often. It is an excellent gift item because their packaging is very french-loyalty like. They were official chocolatier for French royal family. There is actually a chocolate that was Marie-Antoinette's favorite which are thin coin shape chocolate petals. They are called "pistoles" and I always get the sampler which lets you to choose up to 4 flavors. I always get orange blossom, ealry gray, %75 and %85 dark chocolates for $76. In fact, I think they are the most pricey chocolate in manhattan but once you taste their choclate, you won't regret. Their Bonbons are sinfully delicious!

• Pros: Quality and Elegant Packaging
• Cons: It's between 5th and Madison, but they are really close to MADISON ave.
