"Marlain, a master chocolatier creates original, fresh chocolates and fruit 'gummies' that are to die for!"
This is not your usual franchise gourmet chocolate shop. Marlain chocolatier specializes in a unique assortment of specialty chocolates. The selection is limited but most of the chocolates are unique in their composition. Mr. Marlain's creations contain ingredients you dont see at your neighbourhood chocolatier. The Marlain specialty is the incorporation of exotic spices into some of the products. It is hard to describe the taste sensation when biting into one of these treasures, and if you find them as tempting as many people do, you return over and over again.The shop is quaint with a variety of specialty items such as jams and sauces and specialty chocolotate items.

This restaurant was like stepping back in time, and we had a fantastic visit with Marlain. The acclaimed chef was very nice, patient, and informative. We tried his homemade chocolates, which were excellent. He also offers a variety of chef-prepared frozen meals to take home at reasonable prices. We tried the Beef Bourguignon for $10, and it was delicious - easily serving two people. We also made a side of mashed potatoes. Marlain offers a range of French classics such as quiche, duck confit, lamb, and chicken specialties, which we are excited to try in the future. Despite driving past this block countless times, we took advantage of the mild and beautiful weather in November 2022 to walk and...
The staff at this restaurant are very friendly and they make delicious homemade chocolates. We particularly enjoy that the chocolates are bite-sized. My partner is Belgian and loves chocolate, so we appreciate the high quality of the chocolates here. While the prices are on the higher end, we understand that good quality Belgian pralines can be even more expensive. We feel that supporting local artisans is important, and we are happy to do so here.
I stopped by to get a present for a friend and got a second box for my husband and I. So glad I did! The owner filled the box with a wonderful variety of really wonderful chocolates- they tasted so delicious compared to the usual higher end boxed chocolate that's out there. You may pay a bit more but it is completely worth it. The owner told me they will be celebrating 30 years soon...Here's to 30 more!

Having just moved from Belgium and struggling to find good quality chocolate, I was told about this place. I went and bought a variety of Easter chocolate figurines both milk and dark. When a chocoholic 7 year old and 9 year old tell you their is something off about the chocolate and leave it to go play instead, sorry.... really wanted to like it but not possible.
We were told about this place by some chocolate connoisseurs who said that we absolutely had to go there. We had been driving past for years and never noticed it. The proprietors are wonderful people and the products they make are top notch. So many fine options - so creative. This is our "go to" spot for chocolates and confectionery!
We frequently buy from Marlin for special family occasions. Our daughter from Ottawa always have to visit Marlain when she is here. We like several of his cakes but partial to his excellent 'Opera Cake '. His 'Chocolate Covered Gingers ' is a special treat! We have also tried his dinners very nice. We are fans!
Excellent hand made chocolates...unique choices...love the chocolate covered orange rind! You will also find here some homemade hot sauces, pre-made main dishes for take home meals, and facial creams.
