In the kit of the perfect Toulousan, I ask for the chocolatine! Yes, the chocolatine is to the Toulousan what the macaroon is to the Parisian. More than just a pastry, it’s a symbol in its own right. But simple as it may seem, the recipe has its secrets. Crunchy on the outside, melt-in-your-mouth on the inside – it’s an art! Here are the top 7 best chocolatines in Toulouse. And if you prefer to say pain au chocolat, it’s all the same.
1. La Maison Beauhaire, the best chocolatines in France
Unquestionably the best in Toulouse and the surrounding area. And we’re not the ones saying it! For years, Maison Beauhaire has been recognized as THE benchmark for chocolates. In fact, in 2020, it was awarded the prize for the best chocolatine in France in the professional category of the French chocolatine championship. The secret to its success? Precise craftsmanship and unrivalled texture and taste.
📍 Marché Victor Hugo and Marché des Carmes
2. Maison Pillon and its almond chocolatine

With its unique expertise, Maison Pillon is careful to pass on its love of viennoiserie in its recipes. And the chocolatine is its ambassador: the puff pastry is just perfect, and the chocolate bars are to die for. We also love the chocolatine version with almonds, which is twice as delicious!

3. Maison Gentina and its pure butter puff pastry

This artisan bakery delights us with its unique savoir-faire: quality flours and puff pastries mastered to perfection! Just look at the line-up in front of this bakery! Maison Gentina ‘s simplicity proves that authentic, traditional recipes are the best!

4. Boulangerie Saint-Georges, 100% artisanal production

Right in the heart of Place Saint-Georges is a delightful treasure trove for pastry lovers: the boulangerie Saint-Georges!

5. Boulangerie Cyprien, the best frangipane in Toulouse

The three passionate friends who founded Boulangerie Cyprien need no introduction. For years – each in his own field of expertise – they have been working together to restore bread to its former glory. Open since 2017 and a participant in the famous show ” La Meilleure Boulangerie de France ” on M6, Boulangerie Cyprien continues to bake its bread and treat us to chocolatines so crispy we dream about them at night!

6. Sandyan, exceptionally flaky chocolatines

At Sandyan, Yannick Delpech‘s patisserie-tea room, the chocolatine is pure butter. While we love discovering the colorful and elaborate world of this pastry chef’s cakes, it’s sometimes nice to return to the classics of our childhood with a simple chocolatine. Well, simple… This viennoiserie benefits from the undeniable expertise of France’s youngest Michelin-starred chef!

7. Au Poussin Bleu, the place to go for chocolatines in Toulouse
The windows of the famous Au Poussin Bleu bakery are full of mouth-watering treats. An institution that has been delighting Toulousans since 1932, our hearts tumble between their macaroons, chocolates and cakes. But so as not to stray too far off topic, we’d still advise you to fill your pocket with chocolatines (in addition to the rest)!
