The Best Places to Eat Chocolate in Montreal | Eater Montreal

"One of Montreal’s newest bean-to-bar chocolatiers, Avanaa is crafting bars from various origins, including a few flavoured bars that are worth trying, like coconut and coffee flavours. The store is currently closed, but delivery is free on the island of Montreal from Avanaa’s online store." - Tim Forster

Inside Avanaa, Villeray’s Sustainable Bean-to-Bar Chocolaterie | Eater Montreal

"I visited a micro-roastery in the heart of Villeray where Catherine Goulet, a former geologist, launched Avanaa Chocolat in late 2016 to produce artisanal, bean-to-bar chocolate with an approach parallel to the 'third wave' coffee movement. She emphasizes an ethical, direct-trade process—sourcing cacao beans directly from farmers in Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala, and the Dominican Republic chosen for their stories and motivations—to help improve community welfare, and the chocolate's flavor can vary from one batch to the next, much like wine. Production is hands-on: she travels to plantations, imports, sorts and roasts the beans at the facility, removes the shells, grinds the nibs in a stone grinder (a bowl with granite rows) to produce chocolate liquor, lets it sit for a month or two, then remelts and tempers it to achieve a smooth texture that releases all the flavours at once. I learned she developed the craft after quitting her job following a trip to Oaxaca, spending months learning on plantations and refining her process through trial and error, and she now sells products from the workshop and online. Her current projects include three cacao-infused teas (coconut, chai spice, and pure cacao) plus occasional limited-edition and holiday items, and the workshop is open at 309 Gounod (corner Drolet) from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday to Friday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday." - Daniel Bromberg

Amazing chocolate and even more amazing staff!! I went for a chocolate tasting experience and learned so much and tried a variety of chocolate that was so delicious! Isabella even helped me with recommendations for places to eat, she’s a pastry chef so I trust her judgement. Everyone there was so nice and we had a wonderful experience. The chocolate is yummy, made responsibly, and run by women. What more can one ask for =)

Bought their spicy drinking hot chocolate and it is like a warm hug on a cold winter night. One of the best hot chocolates with notes of cinnamon coming through beautifully.

I ordered a selection of their delicious chocolate bars to try & I'm absolutely loving each one I've had to try so far. If you love dark chocolate, try some of their selection of dark chocolate bars to really taste the difference. I really like the different notes you taste from each cacao type. Also it's buying local!

I partcipated at the workshop at this gem of a place. The workshop explains the process of chocolate making in detail, with the host eagerly tackling your questions. The different measures used to obtain the chocolate ethically and as sustainably as possible are explained. The chocolate tasting was an absolute revelation and has definitely changed my perspective. I thank Avanaa Chocolate for helping me discover this hidden side of chocolate ☺

Great tour and deliciously smooth chocolate. We enjoyed learning about Avanaa's chocolate, from sourcing to processing and packaging. Highly recommend this tour for all chocolate lovers and those looking to do something outside the standard tourist attractions in Montreal.
