I recently wrote an article on my Top 5 – Hot Chocolates in Montreal for SweetSpotQc.
It actually included 4 of my favourite spots to drink hot chocolate in Montreal, along with a fantastic option to make it at home from Christophe Morel.
Here is my Top 5:

- Juliette et Chocolat, 3 locations

In addition to these suggestions, I discovered this fall, an interesting hot chocolate alternative from ChocoSol Traders a Toronto-based company: the Aztec Blood drinking chocolate which is a little spicy and one of the best hot chocolate I’ve had in my entire life. It contains Achiote which gives it its red hue. A fun fact is that they grind the roasted cocoa beans using the power of a bicycle. How more ecological can you be? Here is how they prepare their drinking chocolate with the special secret for making it perfect also shared in the movie Like water for chocolate with Juliette Binoche and Johnny Depp.
