The story
Carette, perched at the Place du Trocadéro, is the kind of buzzy, tourist-friendly café that doubles as an Instagram backdrop. With a solid 3.9-star rating and tags nodding to pastry and takeout, it’s a reliable sugar fix in the 16th arrondissement. But the real draw here is one legendary order.
Jack’s Dining Room visited “trying what people say is the best hot chocolate in Paris,” and he declares the drink “incredibly rich” and “worth the hype and the price.” That singular, decadent proposition is what puts Carette on the map—a café that leans into a single, legendary sip.

AI summary of what 1 dish mentions say about the food
Carette’s hot chocolate is the undisputed star, a velvety, indulgent pour that earns rapturous praise. The overall vibe is one of cozy, Parisian comfort, making every sip feel like a warm embrace.
“This is the item you see on TikTok and you're like, 'Fuck it, I need to try that.' And then you go and try it and you're like, 'God damn it, I just spent $12 on a hot chocolate, but it was worth it.' It's really rich, but not too sweet. You're supposed to take their homemade whipped cream and mix it in to make it nice creamy milk chocolate. I hate to say it, but it is absolutely incredible. I am going to have to make it official — this will be the second item I've ever added to the white girl Michelin Guide. Absolutely worth it.”
