Juliette & Chocolat is more than chocolate, it’s a festival for the senses. My daughter and I were invited to the grand opening of their new location on the west island. We were greeted with an overflowing chocolate fountain of delight. I felt like I was on a Willy Wonka factory tour with my inner child. This was not going to be a regular review of the norm. There were kids with plastic bib aprons ready to get messy with their chocolate treats. Yes, get ready to get messy with your chocolate food. This was a perfect opportunity to spend some quality father-daughter time at Juliette & Chocolat. This is the place where your sweet tooth gets re-activated. Everything in the restaurant looks so chocolicious! That should be a word.
