The Real Chocolate of Beverly Hills – Madame Chocolat

By Dessert Darling ·   February 11th, 2011

5 Cherries
They say Ginger Rogers did everything that Fred Astaire did, but backwards and in heels.

Today I entered the ritzy, Beverly Hills chocolate shoppe, Madame Chocolat, which I instantly recognized from scenes in The Real Housewives of BH.

I was delighted to not only enter a luxurious chocolate shop, but also to see the bright and cheerful kitchen where the chocolatiers make magic happen!

I then noted, that alongside the Madame Chocolat truffles, a whole side of the case was dedicated to Jaque Torres chocolates. Furthermore, the chocolate chip cookies looked just like the Jacques Torres cookies that I reviewed in New York.

Hmm…I asked the Madame herself if she preferred her chocolates to Jacques’, and she waxed poetic about how he is the master, and that both chocolates are great- just different. Well, we’ll see about that- I thought.

A few bites into Madame’s exquisite chocolates and I was an instant devotee. The delicate offerings were feminine and bite sized, with a steady shell that allows for some lively crunch. Oh Madame! I prefer these sultry morsels any day to those of Monsieur Torres’!

As I was leaving the store, I overheard her share to the next costumer, that Jacques Torres, the “master“, is indeed her Husband!! Aw-Hah!

Well Madame, if he is Fred Astaire, then You are Ginger Rogers.

    When I visited, I was really intrigued by the open “kitchen.” That being said, most of what they offered, aside from the truffles, was “chocolate covered stuff,” and I wasn’t too impressed. Chocolate covered Cheerios? Really? I haven’t eaten my truffles yet, hopefully those are divine, or I will be most let down by the experience.
