Chocolats Andrée

Founded in 1940, Chocolats Andrée holds a singular place in the city’s food history as its oldest chocolate shop still producing everything by hand. Established during the Second World War by Madeleine Daigneault and her sister Juliette Farand, the business was built around neighbourhood service and a then-rare focus on high-cacao chocolate. The shop remained in family hands for three generations, operating from its Avenue du Parc address until its closure in 2018. It reopened shortly after under the stewardship of Luxembourg-based chocolaterie Genaveh, with original recipes, vintage molds, and traditional techniques intact. Today’s assortment stays rooted in those house classics, from fondant creams to floral and fruit ganaches, continuing a lineage defined by craft rather than scale.
