This chocolate and macaron shop was across the street from the Westin Hotel where we stayed during our stay in Halifax. Because I like chocolate (who doesn't :-) ), we went there. The selection here was quite large, the chocolates had many flavors. You could also sit here and have hot chocolate, coffee or tea. All the chocolates we bought here were delicious.

We have eaten some of the best chocolate that Europe has to offer never dreaming that we would find chocolate perfection on a cruise stopping in Nova Scotia!
Having done my research, we disembarked with map in hand, searching for Rousseau.
As it were, by the time we stopped in a small coffee cafe to ask directions, we were unknowingly just across the street from our destination.
After sampling a heavenly dark chocolate with a lemon curd like filling, we were hooked.
We left with boxes of chocolate, chocolate bars, jars of caramel sauce, and macarons.
They also make a truly decadent hot chocolate.
Prices are in CD. Take credit cards. Let the bank do the exchange.
Check their website. We plan to order for the Holidays.

If you enjoy chocolate even a little bit you MUST stop in to Rousseau! The macaron are even better than the ones I had while in Paris!!! The chocolates are not only beautiful but the taste is truly wonderful - something to savour with every bite! Nathalie is incredibly kind and you can tell when someone's heart is invested in what they do.
You will definitely want to go back again and again!

You can taste the quality of the ingredients in all of the products available at Rousseau Chocolatier. Locally sourced ingredients, when possible, these treats are all made on-site. You absolutely have to try their rich house hot chocolate, all the salted caramel chocolates, and my personal favourite: the lemon ganache and dark chocolate. They also offer french macarons which are such a delicate pleasure and come in traditional flavours like berries or lemon and more exotic ones like coconut or banana rum. Simply said, if you are in Halifax and looking to treat someone or treat yourself, you won't regret visiting this shop!

Maybe I have overly high standards since I have been to Belgium and Switzerland but I found these chocolates to be pretty average and so did my boyfriend. They look amazing and the place is very cool and industrial looking inside but the chocolates just didn’t cut it for me. Especially for the price, I also think the hot chocolate has been over hyped. Like I said, I probably have very high standards when it comes to chocolate as I have had some exceptional experiences but this place didn’t come close for me unfortunately. And for $20 for a couple of hot drinks and some tiny chocolates the place just doesn’t cut it for me. In a way I’m kind of glad because I would be spending a lot of money here if the chocolates were out of this world, so thank you for being mediocre and expensive I guess. Not a combination to make me a returning customer.

You can purchase incredible, freshly made macaroons at this elegant shop. I have had their macaroons a few times now, most recently I tried the passion fruit macaroon. It was amazing!

Rousseau makes high quality chocolate. It tastes great, and they have a wide selection that changes with the seasons. I always do an order at Christmas and even got an advent calendar this year! That's right, they ship anywhere in Canada. Now I can get a little taste of home without having to fly. Worth checking them out in store especially but online as well. Their packing is secure and I haven't had anything break. Plus they do personal touches like a hard written thank you.

I received a jar of orange balsamic, caramel sauce and would like to have some ideas. I am sure it would be good over ice cream but can't think of another use for it. Maybe poured over cream cheese to serve on crackers?

Hi Doreen,
You got it! The Orange Balsamic Caramel Spread is perfect drizzled over ice cream, cakes & pies. Even sauté a few apples/pears in a bit of butter and pour that on top for a quick and delicisous dessert idea! Also, our customers have been raving about serving the spread with a nice cheese plate. A dab over a sharp cheddar or Camembert, yum! Please let us know if you have any other questions, we're delighted to help! -Nathalie
