Qantu Chocolate

Visited on 3 Aug. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed by the attitude of the female staff. She seemed uninterested in answering our questions and responded mostly with brief yes-no answers. We also noticed she gave other guests more thorough explanations and tasters, which we did not receive. We were a large family, and while some elders took seats, we made sure to behave considerately and not disturb anyone. We had traveled a long way and were really looking forward to trying their quality chocolate. The chocolate itself was excellent—it’s just a shame that our experience and purchase were overshadowed by the service.

I visited on 3/25/23. I prebooked the tour and it was really great. I believe it’s a husband wife combo who own and run the place. They are super nice and kind. The tour was in French but he was able to translate for me which was great! We learned about how they started, getting the cacao beans directly from Peru farmers and the creation from bean to chocolate bar. At the end of the tour we tasted about 6-7 different chocolate bars they make. There are numerous ones! Tour last about 3 hours total with the tasting. They taught us how to taste and enjoy chocolate: Slow down the experience, view the piece of chocolate for color/sheen, snap it and hear that sound, taste a small bite chew 2-3 times then let melt in your mouth to get the best flavor. I was blown away by the flavors! Best chocolate I’ve ever had!! I did end up buying 3 bars, see in pics. They threw in a chocolate bunny and two hazelnut chocolate bells. Whether you do the tour or not, this is a MUST DO/SEE in Montreal.

More than -just- a chocolate tasting 💯 Starting off with an education on cacao beans, moving on to see how production works and finishing with a delicious assortment of chocolate, all in a friendly and welcoming manner❣️You will truly feel like you're among friends and walk away with unique chocolate facts. Qantu chocolate always, always, ALWAYS hits the mark for flavours & mouth feel, setting the standard for what chocolate should be ✨

Had such a marvelous experience with Qantu - attended one of their virtual tasting sessions and discovered a whole world of the highest quality bean to bar chocolate! Make sure to chat with the owners, they are extremely passionate and knowledgeable! My favourite chocolate were the Morropon and the maple one, simply magical!

If you want to experience high quality, finely handcrafted chocolate, Qantu chocolate is to die for. Very original, rich, tasteful, creative, this review doesn’t even do justice. Elfi and Maxime are extraordinary individuals behind the product, and you can test their passion and love infused in the chocolate. It is like no other, very original. The tour offered personally by them is a whole other unique experience. Highly recommended, they take the time to carefully go through each step of the process from the raw rare coffee bean tasting to the chocolate making, to the tasting of 4-8 chocolate tastings. Very very unique, and cherished experience. Not to be missed. Xx

Best bean to bar you can get ever. And such a beautiful success story from local heroes. Keep on going Elfi & Max

Nice experience with the tour to learn about the process of how chocolate is made, the owners are super nice and the chocolate is the best I ever had. A lot of different choices too!

Visited for a tour of the factory, and it was a great experience! Definitely recommending this to my coworkers and friends! The tour was very informative, very interesting to see an overview of the process and get to taste at different stages! It was quite eye opening to see what flavors can come from the cocoa bean, before it's processed into a bar! One bean's flavor was very subtle, another different variety tasted spiced and dynamic! I wondered where these flavors were in all the other chocolates I've had before. I also thought it was great to see that they were developing good relationships with the cocoa farmers, which makes both of them stronger. The tour ended with a tasting, which really demonstrated the different flavors that well-made chocolate can have. After trying a few, how could you not leave with a few bars from the shop? I left with a few and I realize that I forgot one or two that I'll have to order soon!
