L’Affaire est Chocolat! wears a lot of hats—and pulls them off. Part bistro, part chocolate shop, part neighbourhood ice cream bar, this Rosemont mainstay is best known for its knockout hot chocolate and rotating selection of hand-crafted bonbons. Owner Nancy Bastien has been operating from this corner near Cinéma Beaubien for over 15 years, first as an ice cream parlour, then fully leaning into her chocolate obsession in 2016. The bonbons come in over 30 flavours—Szechuan pepper mango, Earl Grey, bourbon vanilla—and the chocolate-covered mendiants and bars are just as tempting. Beyond sweets, the café menu is stacked: crêpes, grilled cheese, and generous desserts, plus one of the best chocolate fondues around. Whether you’re here for a latte, a scoop, or a gift box of bonbons, this is a rare spot where classic comfort and chocolate craft collide. Come for the confections, stay for the salted caramel crêpe.
