"We stopped here to purchase Yves Thurries chocolate, and stayed for a hot chocolate with chantilly cream. It was so good, we waited a few hours until our bellies felt empty and we went back for another round! It's one of the finest hot chocolates we've ever had - only Thomas Haas, a French chocolatier who has opened a couple of boutiques in Vancouver, has served us better (and we once had some incredible hot chocolate at Amorino in Paris, which was unexpected.) Really, it's world-class hot cocoa, served in a huge mug with a large bowl of chantilly cream, in a beautiful little dining room with colorful chairs and warm ambience. If you're in Annecy, do not miss it. It's the kind of hot cocoa that will turn you into the kind of person who gets on a plane and flies long distance just to have hot cocoa.And if you love dark chocolate, pick up a Thurries 100% bar this year - wherever they sourced their cacao from must have had a great harvest, because their pure 100% cacao bar (pure paste, no sugar) is wonderfully smooth and mild - you'll think you're eating 90% dark."
