At Carette's
A true Parisian institution, we couldn't possibly start this top without talking about Carette. Creamy and thick just the way it should be, the hot chocolate at Carette is a delight that never gets old. Here, we take a journey back to the 1920s Paris, with an Art Deco atmosphere, complete with majestic mirrors, chandeliers, and beautiful porcelain tableware... And we happily come back for more.

Angelina
You definitely can't pass rue de Rivoli without stopping at least once at Angelina, a little paradise for sweet tooth. Here, the hot chocolate is a classic and is made the old-fashioned way, accompanied by delicious homemade whipped cream. But you won't know more: the recipe is a closely guarded secret. Take this opportunity to treat yourself to a Mont-Blanc, a legendary pastry from Angelina for 120 years, and you're good to go.

The Creams
Because it's not only the chocolatiers who make delicious hot chocolates, one of our favorite coffee shops definitely deserved a spot in this top list. With a great taste of chocolate and a milk foam that would make all baristas jealous, we approve the hot chocolate from The Creams, available with cow's milk or plant-based milk.

PLAQ
Both a factory, a shop, and a café, PLAQ delights us with its incredibly powerful hot chocolate, either with milk for extra indulgence or with water for an even more intense version. We accompany it with a slice of homemade cake or tart (special mention for the ultra chocolatey fondant which is also vegan and gluten-free).

The Coffee
Don't be fooled by its monochrome facade and its appearance of a coffee shop reserved for black coffee or matcha latte lovers: The Coffee offers a hidden gem of a hot chocolate called "Urban Chocolate". Simple, effective, powerful, and above all, comforting.

Mamie Gâteaux
Behind this lovely retro-themed tea salon that reminds us of our grandmothers' homes, you'll find one of the most comforting addresses in the capital. At Mamie Gâteaux, we drink hot chocolate in ceramic bowls just like when we were 6 years old, and we eat, as the name suggests, very good cakes. Our favorites? The chestnut cake and the scones, to die for.
