Divine Chocolatier
Hidden in a small basement space on rue Crescent, this precious, aromatic artisanal chocolaterie owned by Belgian maître chocolatier Richard Zwierzynski has lived here for over 35 years and been in existence since 1976. With its stuffed teddy bears, shoe- and bottle-shaped chocolate decorations, and antique porcelain plates adorning the walls, a visit to Divine is like stepping into a 19th-century ice-cream parlor. Chocolate massage oil and chocolate tablets made from the mold of an illustration from the Kama Sutra may tickle your fancy, but it's the divine chocolate truffles, assorted chocolates (including vegan ones), and the dark-chocolate-ganache cheesecake that will have you returning again and again.
