Jade Genin

A destination in its own right, just steps from the Opéra Garnier. The space is understated elegance: bright and airy, with two large display cases showcasing the chocolates like works of art. And that's exactly what they are. I came for their celebrated Pyramidian — the pyramid-shaped chocolates that have made the house famous. Each one is unique: deep blue, vivid red, dusted with golden flakes, speckled with silver — every piece looks like a rare precious gemstone. But what truly strikes you, beyond the visuals, is the balance of flavors: refined combinations, always perfectly calibrated. For Valentine's Day, I brought a box home to share with my partner. We took our time exploring each chocolate together, the way you'd savor a tasting menu. €45 for a gift that truly honors what it's meant to celebrate. Jade Guénin proves that chocolate can be a genuine art form.

Very beautiful interior decor, bright lights with white surfaces make the chocolate stand out! Pralines were also very nicely designed and pretty. Most importantly, flavours were great and tasty!

What a wonderful chocolate shop. I started at the more 'popular' store next door and when I walked in, it did not even smell like chocolate so I left.. When I entered Jade Genin, the smell was intoxicating, all made on site. The store was exquisitely presented and the staff was very welcoming and helpful. I bought a variety tin box of chocolates and later, with the QR code was able to remember what I had originally selected to take away.. Each had a delectable flavor. A great experience.

Crazy that there’s a massive queue next door for a more well known pastry chef (now doing chocolates) when Jade Genin’s chocolates are so exquisite. Made on site - you can get a glimpse of the kitchen from the boutique.

Beautiful store with even more delicious chocolates! The peacock and floral decor on the outside was elegant and charming. We were warmly greeted and helped in selecting our chocolates and sweets. The chocolates are like an adventure in a box. I adore chocolatiers that boldly experiment with flavour combinations and I was wowed with every bite today. Somehow, the freshness of each spice, each herb is preserved in the chocolate to perfection. The cucumber and juniper chocolate was amazingly balanced with a wonderfully fresh cucumber aroma. My favourite was the pine nut and lavender - again I have no idea how the floral essence can be captured so flawlessly but it was like biting a fresh flower. Each bite is a surprising delight! Thank you for the mind blowing experience!

Phenomenal chocolates! The pyramid-shaped pralines are quite small but they pack a flavour punch! Extremely well balanced, intense, interesting flavours and textures. I especially loved the herbaceous ones like thai basil/coriander or oregano. Even the basic chocolate truffles are truly outstanding. I have tried pralines from many chocolatiers and the products from Jade definitely rank among the top 3, if not number 1! Also, very professional and attentive service. One tiny advice: it would be nice if apart from the small pralines, all the other products also had tags describing the flavour/filling, so you don't have to ask for each one. I'll be back more than once for sure! :)

Based on the conversation over the phone, multiple, and interaction with their courier. I can say from beginning to end I was treated with upmost respect and care. My broken french didn't get me far but the nice ladies on the phone helped me. One passed me over to her more fluent colleague. And took my order down with every detail covered, checked and double checked. I only wish I got her name,(if the owner reads this they can look up my order of 45 pyramidiods + 15 pyramidiods+ 15 truffles? They have gold sprinkles and are square shaped. Order placed on the 18th of November delivery the 19. ) She was fantastic, even while dealing with my accent constantly switching between American and French. The courier couldn't have been more PUNCTUAL. He would have to break the limits of the known universe. Hand delivered, with a smile in POURING rain. My paper bag didn't fair so we'll, maybe a suggestion to the owner for a winter ❄️ resistance bag. But impecable service ! Magnifique!

Simply the best hot chocolate I’ve had in Paris. I had a smile soon after the first sip, and it lasted until I drank the very last drop. I was 100% satisfied and full of joy. The service was pleasantly friendly, generous, elegant, and beautiful. Can’t wait to come back!
