indulgence and sharing

Overview of L'Échappée belle shop

The art of chocolate,
passed on with passion

L'Échappée belle continues the legacy of the "Chocolaterie belge Muriel", perpetuating know-how passed down by a Belgian master chocolatier. Our pralines have proven themselves for over twenty years; they are rich, melt-in-your-mouth, and decidedly indulgent.

We also create chocolate creations that celebrate local flavors — wild blueberry, tangy sea buckthorn, amber maple syrup or fir honey.

Chocolates that tell a story of terroir, heritage, and the simple pleasure of doing things right.

A game-friendly café
to reconnect

Our coffeehouse is a gathering place, a cozy refuge where time slows down. Here we savor hot chocolates with varied flavors, good coffee roasted in the neighboring building, and herbal teas harvested right here in Quebec.

Between sips, we browse through art, poetry or photography books, and laugh together over a board game. At our place, conversations take precedence over screens.

Curious taste buds also enjoy artisan ice cream (from May to November only), fresh drinks made with local fruits, and tenderly delicious snacks.

A bookstore rooted
in nature

We believe in the power of books to transform consciousness. Our bookstore offers works that question our relationship with nature, celebrate the beauty of the world, and invite us to rethink how we inhabit the Earth.

Essays, stories, illustrated albums, poetry or children's literature: each book has been carefully chosen to awaken curiosity, nourish imagination, and open paths to a gentler future.

And because a good book deserves to be shared, you'll find many second-hand books on our shelves.

Forest pantry,
terroir treasures

Our pantry is a tribute to the discreet riches of Quebec's forest. Here you'll discover products harvested with care and respect: birch or maple syrups, conifer herbal teas, dried mushrooms, fir honey, Nordic nuts…

Each jar, each bag, tells a story of harvest, terroir, a season. It's a pantry like no other, where nature finds its way onto the shelves with all its generosity and poetry.
