Best hot chocolate in Paris: the 6th arrondissement

The tranquility of the Jardin du Luxembourg or the bustle of Saint Germain des Prés. The grandeur of Saint Sulpice, or the history of the Pont Neuf. We do love the 6^th arrondissement of Paris. 

There’s plenty of hot chocolate in Paris: in every arrondissement, from the tourist hot spots to somewhere more off the beaten path.

If you’re on the trendy left bank of the Seine, there are four spots we’d recommend to enjoy a hot chocolate. Warmth and gentleness guaranteed. 

La Jacobine

80% cocoa, 20% milk. This is, or at least it was, the secret of the Aztec hot chocolate at La Jacobine. Served with Chantilly cream, the drink has an intense flavor.

Hidden in a gallery between Odéon and Saint Michel, this place is the ideal spot to savor a Parisian goûter.

Grom

Grom is another Italian ice-cream maker that excels with its hot chocolates when the temperature tumbles. There is a hot chocolate for every tastebud here. Whether you like the aroma of hazelnut or remain a dark chocolate enthusiast, your wishes will be fulfilled. We promise.

Colorova Pâtisserie

The hot chocolate is thick and not too sweet in this 60s and 70s inspired restaurant. Also serving original and tasteful pastries to accompany your drink, for the big eaters, Colorova offers succulent brunches on the weekends. Don’t forget to book before though!

Pâtisserie Viennoise

This hot chocolate spot is a favorite of expat foodie David Lebovitz. Ordering a hot chocolate at the Pâtisserie Viennoise can be quite a challenge because of the smallness of the place. But once you’ll get your (cold) hands on the Grail, you’ll know it was worth it.

Those with a sweet tooth will especially love the enormous cloud of whipped cream literally brimming over the cup.
