The almonds in a Patrick Roger chocolate Bar
Patrick Roger is a rock star of chocolate. He’s both a highly esteemed chocolatier who has earned the Meilleur Ouvrier de France (MOF) honor as well as a “chocolate artist” who is known for sculpting animal forms from cocoa and displaying them in his gorgeous boutiques.

He’s know for cruising around town on his motorcycle covered in cocoa powder and using the rubber from Ducati tires for the handles of his jewel toned blue bags. His persona might be bad boy Willy Wonka, but his creations are both whimsical and delicious.

It”s worth visiting his Left Bank boutique store to try some of his explode-in-your mouth “colours” candies, which look like edible gems but unfortunately too delicate to travel well.
Patrick Roger colours are fresh tasting and beautiful to look at
Patrick Roger is also thoughtful. He’s known for sourcing the best possible ingredients from around the globe and his next level candies combine non-traditional ingredients like basil, lemongrass, oatmeal and Sichuan pepper in a way which inexplicably elevates chocolate to the next level.
Cases of chocolate deliciousness at Patrick Roger
This is a great place to blow some euros. You truly cannot go wrong. There is also a great selection of mini-chocolate bars for 7€ that travel well in their cool tin packaging and last– in theory– for up to a year. Once opened, they tend to disappear within hours.
