Carette

"Testing out a great hot chocolate is a special hobby some tourists have, and I was no exception. I like to eat and drink well while on holiday, and my heart has a secret chamber dedicated to hot chocolate. Yes, Angelina does have a gorgeous setting and a hefty portion of liquid happiness, but is filled with sugar, disabling you to truly enjoy the warm creation in front of you. Many cafes offer hot chocolate, and for example, Cafe de Flore has a pretty good one to offer, but for me, the perfect ratio of chocolate, sweetness and bitterness with a side of whipped cream lies at Carette. It helps that across from you is Trocadero, the iconic square with a direct and full-size view of the Eiffel. Plus, many locals like to sit here and enjoy the view with friends, so you can hear a lot of happy noise while sitting there."

"This was the girls first Parisian cafe experience. The place is absolutely beautiful, full of energy and such great atmosphere. The kids had the famous hot chocolate that tasted like a melted down candy bar. It’s served in a tea pot with a side of the best homemade whipped cream you’ll ever have to dollop onto your hot chocolate. Of course, they also have a great selection of pastries and some of the best macaroons in Paris. "

"Velvet, thick hot chocolate. And whisper it, but if Laduree are the most famous, I think the macarons at Carette are the best. They also make them double size – what is not to love?! The most beautiful wicker high chair available! One hot chocolate between two children likely to be enough! It comes in a pot to pour yourself, so shouldn’t cause arguments sharing! "
