Chocolat Bonnat Paris
Chocolat Bonnat Paris is a chocolate shop in the 8th district that has been making chocolate by hand since 1884. The shelves hold bars made from carefully selected cocoa beans sourced from Venezuela, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, and Cuba, each offering different flavors ranging from fruity to spicy to woody notes.
The company was founded in 1884 in Voiron and follows a family tradition of chocolate making. Stéphane Bonnat, now the fourth generation, continues the artisanal approach and keeps the inherited methods alive.
The shop displays packaging in Art Nouveau style with regional imagery that reflects the craft heritage. Visitors experience how chocolate making has been passed down as a family tradition for generations.
The shop is located on Rue du Faubourg Saint Honoré and is accessible by metro via the Ternes and George V stations. It is open from Tuesday to Saturday in the afternoon and evening, allowing plenty of time to browse and taste different varieties.
The Apotequil variety with 75 percent cocoa content was highlighted by the New York Times as particularly notable and is recognized by connoisseurs worldwide. This specific product demonstrates how the shop proves its quality beyond regional boundaries.
