At the crossroads of the Marais, Notre-Dame and the Beaubourg district, in the very heart of Paris, the fusion of Martin’s passion for exceptional chocolate and chocolate-bar concepts from around the world gave birth to Hoct&Loca — a go-to destination for French-style indulgence, reimagined as a fully chocolate-driven brunch or afternoon treat.
A place designed as a meeting point for Parisians, while welcoming visitors from across the globe to discover the French art of living, expressed entirely through chocolate.

Book early, the chocolatey delight is on us!

Mornings taste better when they’re twice as chocolatey.

At Hoct&Loca, early birds get a sweet reward: every all-inclusive brunch booked at 10 AM or 10:30 AM comes with double the usual chocolate dose included in your menu.

Got a chocolate ramekin, an ice cream, a hot chocolate or a coffee included? You’ll get two, because mornings deserve more than just an alarm clock.

*To enjoy the CHOCO SURPRISE DEAL, enter the promo code CHOCO2025 in the notes section of your reservation. Offer valid at both our locations. Only applies to all-inclusive brunches booked at 10 AM or 10:30 AM time slots.

chocolate brunch experience.

Savour every minute,
one bite at a time.

Focusing on a cuisine that highlights fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients, Hoct&Loca embodies the very essence of French “healthy living”… always with a touch of chocolate.
Our ALL-INCLUSIVE BRUNCH, enjoyed in three stages, is specially designed for epicureans: it begins with a main dish, where you can choose the accompaniment that suits you best, whether inspired by local terroir or vegetarian cuisine.
Next comes the tasting of our six different chocolates, which, in addition to delighting your taste buds, allows you to select your favorite crus. The chocolates you choose are then served according to your preference: as a hot beverage (hot chocolate or coffee), in small bowls alongside fruits and pastries, or in the form of a chocolate-coated ice cream.

Create a tailor-made treat
with a burst of unique flavours.

Treat yourself to a light taste sensation.

For over ten years, the Marais has been awakened by the aroma of our chocolates, where each creation turns everyday moments into a delightfully unforgettable experience.

Brunch
in Paris 2024
  • Lucie Deguilhem
    “Great brunch in a nice part of Paris. We opted for several savoury dishes: the salmon waffles were just as delicious as the cheesy toast. We sampled chocolates in different flavours and textures. The small bowls of melted chocolate were perfect for dipping our fruits and pastries. And the homemade juice was fresh and tasty.”
  • Nina Bonhomme
    A real PLEASURE. We had booked for brunch at 10:30, so we were seated straight away. The service was super fast and friendly, and we were well guided through the various chocolate tastings.
  • Benoit Chapuis
    Chocolate-themed restaurant: delicious, fun and very good. There were 3 of us with the brunch package. A drink, a dish with a side dish, and 2 sweet experiences with the chocolate chosen with the presentation and tasting. The ice cream cone with the chocolate coating of your choice was top notch. We had a great time, the service is friendly and good. Loyalty programme available

    My daughter treated us to brunch there on Mother's Day. What an incredible experience! The staff are incredibly friendly and pleasant. The brunch was simply delicious. We loved everything about it. Thank you all for a wonderful experience.
  • Conny Nyberg
    The best café crème in Paris. Café Illy.
  • Andy Felsina
    Very good, very good products, excellent service and friendly staff.
  • Emilie Hof
    Great time! I came for brunch and was optimistic that I'd be able to finish it all, but I wasn't, so you get what you pay for. What's more, the little salad with the hummus made me love beetroot again. I loved the brioche perdue, so I came back the following week to eat one again. I'd like to give a special mention to Marwan who was great with the service (even though all the waiters were really cool in general) and who kindly gave us the ice creams included in the brunch that we hadn't been able to get due to lack of time the week before. In short, I recommend +++.
  • Priscillia
    A very welcoming place, delicious chocolate and very pleasant facilities!
  • Solène Cambazard
    Great brunch place near Châtelet, booking is possible. The menu costs around €30 at weekends, depending on the dish you choose. You can sit out on the terrace. It was very good and I find the concept very interesting. I chose the savoury waffle (salmon, avocado, parmesan) with the local duo on the side (ham, comté). We were also served pastries (including mini waffles/pancakes) and fruit. We were then invited to taste 6 different chocolates; we had to select two and choose how to eat them (chocolate drink, ice cream or in a ramekin). I chose Dulce de leche and Noisetté33, one in hot chocolate and one in a ramekin to dip the pastries in.
  • Thom
