Le Chocolat Alain Ducasse, Le Comptoir Cherche-Midi
Le Chocolat Alain Ducasse, also called Le Comptoir Cherche-Midi, is a chocolate shop in a quiet neighborhood of Paris that makes bonbons, ganaches, pralines, and bars by hand. The shop displays its creations in simple vitrines and shelves, with each piece crafted as a tasting portion.
The shop emerged from a renowned chef's passion for chocolate making, extending his culinary expertise to this medium. It has built its reputation by combining traditional techniques with contemporary approaches.
The shop carries the name of a renowned chef who extended his culinary vision into chocolate making. Visitors experience it as a place where French craftsmanship and attention to flavor balance are evident in every piece displayed.
The shop has no dining area but allows customers to enjoy their purchases at a small spot while viewing the windows. It is best to visit early in the day to find the widest selection, as popular items tend to sell out quickly.
The fermentation process of cacao beans takes place partly in the workshop, where staff roast, crack, and grind the beans. This hands-on preparation sets the production apart from many commercial chocolate makers.
