Best chocolates, both the pralines and the pure chocolate bars. Comparing this to Maison du Chocolat, and Richart.
First, in the pralines, I like the fruit fillings and they make the best passion fruit and lime flavors. So bright and intense flavors bursting in your mouth while the chocolate is dark and rich. Crazy, can't stop eating it good.
The bars are slightly pricier than other high end chocolatier's bars because PR 's come in a flat tin box. I am going to reuse these tins.
Service is INconsistent. 1 day, there was only 1 woman in the shop and she was very cheerful and young. She had out a small dish of milk and dark chocolates for customers to try. Another day, there were 3 salespeople, and they looked more uptight. I saw one offer a small tray of chocolates to a customer ahead of me, but when I paid, I wasn't offered any. Can we say 'rude'?
Packaging is the BEST. In every way, PR 's packaging is superior to other chocolate shops. I'll compare them to Maison du Chocolat as an example. When you buy by the piece, PR put them in a resealable bag that is easy to open and reseal. Other shops use regular bags and tape. Their little handbag is sturdy and made of heavy stock paper. MdC's bag was thinner and wrinkled easily. PR's chocolate bars come in a tin, whereas other's come in paper wrap (like regular candy bars).
The only cons are the inconsistent service and also, their chocolate flavors are not labeled, so you really have to wait for someone to help you just to find out what the pieces' flavors are. MdC has a label on everything so you could browse more easily.
