Yu Chocolatier

Good atmosphere and good/kind services. 105TWD per 1 piece which is really expensive. I have never seen this type of chocolate to be so expensive. I usually buy La Maison du Chocolat and even their price is lower. The taste and the quality is really good so the high pricing is really pity. In terms of volume, I felt that it was too thin and it could be thicker to feel more aroma.

Truly tasteful chocolates pond cake snd financier. I ordered a large size Lemon tart genuinely authentic and yummy. Signature chocolate tarts are also good. Too bad we can’t buy more varieties due to lactose intolerance.

Service is nice and attentive. Desserts are delicate and elegant. Took out 2 chocolate cakes, and they were way too sweet than I expected. It needs to be shared with others. A dark chocolate lover probably won’t enjoy it. 🔹Shibusa NT$270 🔹Ultra Chocolate Pound Cake NT$150

A delightful experience from making the reservation to actually tasting all wonderful goodies. I am very impressed and the staff explained all items with great details. She was attentive and made recommendation with our selection. Will definitely visit whenever in Taipei 🥰

Taste of happiness when enjoying its Shibusa. Chocolate drink is rich and smooth. Not a fan of its Mont Blanc though. Employee is friendly and knowledgeable of store’s sweets. Store is clean and comfy.

Quiet and stylish chocolatier and cafe. A small menu, with a selection of about 6 pastries and several drinks (including seasonal chocolate drinks and tea). Don't let the limited choice put you off, the pastires were exquisite and distinctive, and the oolong tea was refreshing. A little pricey but worth it! The mont blanc was especially good.

The texture of chocolate blew my mind! The chocolate cake makes me feel like in France. Delicate and nice quality of chocolate ,also infused with the alcohol that makes the flavor is very balanced and smooth. Definitely going back again :p

This place is a must when visiting Taipei, their cakes are elegant and of high quality as are their chocolates. The the chocolate whisky cake made with the Smokey peat of the Lagavulan 16 @yu_chocolatier was out of this world enjoyed with a dram of Omar sherry cask Taiwanese whisky. Yu also make high quality chocolates including award winning pieces made with renowned Taiwanese whisky Kavalan Soloist Sherry cask, a chocolate made with Talisker Scotch.

Yum! Popped in for a quick dessert after brunch and was pleasantly surprised. It's a nice spot with a small selection of cakes and chocolates that you can eat in or take out. Available cakes are in the case and the qr code will pull up the beverage menu with teas and alcohol. No coffee! If you dine in, there's a $250NT per person minimum spend. Staff is friendly and will remind you of the spend if you don't hit it.

Award winning chocolate shop with plenty of interesting options. There's also small pastries! It is a small shop, and employees are very nice and welcoming.

Amazing little chocolate shop in the middle of Taipei!! Come to get exquisite wine, liquor, and tea infused fine chocolates, with beautiful and decadent pastries! The chef here has won numerous awards for his chocolates, and it's worth it to stop by and check it out!

The moment I stepped into Yu Chocolatier with my mother, I was welcomed into a different world from the noisy Taipei streets. It felt as though I entered into a high class and elevated cocoon. The bathroom is beautiful, with pleasant incense. Service, is undeniably super upscale. The menu is simple and explains each chocolate and drink. I ordered the Signature Yu, Aged Plum, and Sherry Cask Longan, each received the International Chocolate Awards. The subtle flavor of each chocolate presents the opportunity for amateurs to also enjoy the different notes and layers of the chocolate profile. The Sherry Cask Longan in particular, is very unique to Taiwan flavor. I also ordered the Winter Chocolate drink. It could have been a bit hotter. Overall the flavor is rich, but nothing too special. For the ambience, service, and chocolate, 4 stars make sense. The price is a little too high. Perhaps more coffee options would help satisfy people's chocolate and caffeine craving.

A friend told us about this place, and I never thought chocolates and whisky would go together, but it's pretty brilliant. They use dark chocolate for the shells and have interesting ganache fillings. We tried red water oolong (紅水烏龍), one with 桂圓 (gui yuan), and a pineapple lemon one (菠蘿檸檬). Surprisingly, the pineapple lemon one was my favorite. The flavors are very subtle in a nice way, and the chocolates are not very sweet, which I appreciate. They also had the Kavalan soloist (blue label), which we can't find anywhere else. It was NT400 for 2 oz or NT720 for 4 oz, so we went with the 4 oz. It went really well with the chocolates. Service is super nice, and you can sit there and enjoy your chocolates and sip whisky without feeling rushed. The bathroom is also very clean. Cash only.

I really enjoyed this chocolate spot. The inside is modern and has a sophisticated feel. The selection of chocolates are all displayed in a glass case that you can see right as you walk in. Super yummy looking pastries are right next to that. I was drawn here because they are known for their award winning whiskey chocolate, but I must say that the other chocolates are equally as good. My personal favorite is the basil lemon chocolate. It seriously is so balanced and hits all the right notes. I love the honey chocolate as well. You can really taste the honey, and it's quite a unique flavor too! The service here is great. One of the workers took the time to explain all the chocolate flavors to me in English. I'm definitely coming back here for more!

First, I have to point out that at Yu Chocolatier, you can order liquor to go with your chocolate. On the shelf sits the award-winning Kavalan cherry cask whiskey, among others. In terms of chocolate, this is what the chef suggests you try: - The "Yu" chocolate. If you're not familiar with complex-flavored chocolates (like me), this dark little square will blow your mind and spoil you for life. - The chocolate with ganache of sherry cask whiskey and smoked longan fruit. There are three notes of smokiness in this chocolate -- from the chocolate itself, from the whiskey and from the longan. - The ginger raspberry chocolate. Yu admits it's a strange combination, but one that works. The ginger he uses is a Taiwanese bamboo ginger. - The oolong tea chocolate. Yu said it was especially difficult to develop. Water is needed to bring out the aromas of the tea, but at the same time needs to be minimized so not to affect the consistency of the chocolate. - The marinated plum chocolate. Made by his business partner's mother, the plums have been marinated for 10 years in a mixture of wine, vinegar and malt sugar. - The chocolate tart, which has become the shop's signature pastry. He makes six kinds of chocolate tart and also a lemon tart. Before I left, I purchased both chocolate and lemon tarts. At 150NT and 140NT each, they're a very affordable little luxury.

When you know you're going to have a blue Monday tomorrow, trust me, this is the place to go. These delicious sweets definately will make you feel lighter and happier, prepare you for the coming week! The pastry chef is one of the best here, with all the ingredient carefully prepare and integrated into a fantastic taste! I had a lemon tart, Madelines and chocolate alsace. They magically balance the sour of lemon with the cream and pastry. And the chocolate cream, oh, I can have a dozen. The black tea and the sweets will dance in your mouth, making you ask for more! They do spend effort to find the best combination and I sincerely love and recommend this place. 這裡絕對是週一症候群的桃花源，週日來這裡吃吃甜點可以讓心情整個開朗放鬆起來，迎接下一週的挑戰。這裡的師傅是在法國學藝回來的，坐落在仁愛圓環的靜謐一腳，店內的擺設很低調，但甜點真的是一絕. 我們享用了檸檬塔，亞爾薩斯之森，和瑪德蓮，配上店內精心搭配的紅茶（聽說為了調配出好喝的紅茶研發了一個月呢！）每一口都讓我撲哧的笑出來，因為真的太好吃了：）檸檬的酸不再刺舌，反而和餅皮薄脆的餅皮融合在一起，香氣怡人. 亞爾薩斯的巧克力奶油夾著覆盆子果醬，口口令人驚艷！瑪德蓮，我沒看過那一家放香草放得這麼大方的耶。 下次一定會再來光顧！：）

There is a 1.5 hour dining time limit so I would suggest a different place if you need a longer time.

Whiskey and chocolate? And I can bring my kid? We're in! I was not expecting to find a European style Chocolatier in the middle of Taiwan. And here we are. A little pricey, but worth it. The chocolates aren't too sweet and the flavors have a Taiwanese twist to them.
