Salon du Chocolat Montreal

The Salon du Chocolat et de la Pâtisserie is far more than a trade fair – since its inception by Event International SA, it has served as an international stage dedicated to the world of fine chocolate and pâtisserie. Its concept unites the artistry of premium chocolate with the refined craft of haute pâtisserie, placing both equally at the forefront. Each year, the historic Gare Windsor in the heart of Montréal transforms into a showcase of artisanal excellence, where leading figures from the industry meet a passionate and curious audience.

The Salon aims to provide a platform for innovation, diversity, and knowledge exchange. Chocolatiers, pastry chefs, cocoa producers, established brands, start-ups, and culinary creatives present their latest creations – from elaborate chocolate sculptures and cutting-edge technologies to signature delicacies crafted exclusively for the event. Canadian producers in particular seize the opportunity to highlight their proximity to cocoa-exporting countries and showcase their artisanal heritage, bringing a distinct regional identity into focus.

Visitors enter a multi-sensory world of discovery. In the Cho’ Pâtissier series, internationally renowned chefs demonstrate their craftsmanship, while the Cacao Bar invites guests to sample chocolate in imaginative pairings. A standout moment is the Défilé en Chocolat – a fashion show featuring garments made entirely of chocolate, celebrating the spectacular fusion of haute couture and confectionery art. Children explore the world of chocolate through playful workshops such as Le P’tit Choco, while adults in the Choco-Genèse space delve into the history and origins of cocoa, including key issues around sustainability and fair production.

Competitions and awards are a defining element of the event, honoring international excellence and offering valuable insights into emerging trends and innovations. The Salon acts as both a showcase and a testing ground – whether for monumental chocolate sculptures, avant-garde dessert creations, or pioneering technologies.

Exhibitors come from across the globe, and the audience is equally diverse: professionals from chocolate production, pâtisserie, gastronomy, and the food trade engage with families, food enthusiasts, and chocolate lovers who see the Salon as a source of inspiration and immersive experience. In doing so, the Salon du Chocolat et de la Pâtisserie Montréal becomes an integral part of a global event series held in major cities around the world, fostering international dialogue on trends, traditions, and the future of chocolate.

In conclusion, the Salon du Chocolat et de la Pâtisserie is not only a haven for chocolate aficionados but also a vital meeting point for industry professionals. Located in the charming Gare Windsor, ideally connected to public transportation, Montréal offers an inspiring backdrop where tradition, innovation, and international openness come together – the perfect setting to celebrate chocolate and pâtisserie at the highest level.
