Last January I was lucky enough to visit British Columbia’s capital for another edition of its now famous, hot chocolate festival, as usual my buddy Craig (#craigsentme) was the team leader and we were accompanied by a new comer Evan (@evan_s_potter).
Back in 2018, we welcomed the opening of Mon Paris Patisserie, which was outstanding, fast forward to this year, and I am glad to report that Vancouver welcomed another high end patisserie :Forêt Noire.

Lucky Doughnuts
A solid classic hot chocolate this year, we were glad to see a doughnut included with the hot choc!
Forêt Noire
Forêt Noire was the surprise of the trip, located on Broadway, this pâtisserie offers a full range of viennoiseries, macarons, chocolates, cakes, and assortment of jams. We tried a couple mousse cakes, an exotic mousse and the house speciality a Forêt Noire. Both were delicious, the sponge inside were perfectly soaked, the mousses had a perfect texture, and the chocolate work was so perfect that it left us scratching our heads.

Au Comptoir & Beaucoup Bakery
Being in the area, we stopped to visit our friends at Au Comptoir, then it was time for my favorite "pain au chocolat" at Beaucoup bakery.
Chocolate Arts & Koko Monk
Koko Monk, recently opened a second location, we stopped by to check the new store.
Juke Fried Chicken
Juke was a welcome break from the sweet, Vancouver's most famous fried chicken, definitely have an interesting breading.
Perverted Ice Cream, and Thierry Pâtisserie
After our stop at Chocolate Arts, we headed downtown and enjoyed meeting the owner of Perverted ice cream, and later went to check out Thierry Pâtisserie.

That was my second time at St Lawrence, and I am glad to report, that it is still an amazing experience.

Since one dinner is not enough (hum hum) we ended up the evening trying a few new dishes from Kissa Tanto, and got the amazing Yuzu Pana Cotta and Tiramisu so Evan could try these delicious desserts.
