Chocolats Favoris, a Quebec-born chocolatier adored across Canada, is set to open its newest location in Whistler Village on January 17, 2026. This opening highlights the brand’s continued expansion in Western Canada and represents its third location in British Columbia.
Perfectly positioned in one of Canada’s most iconic mountain resorts, the new chocolaterie aims to serve as an after-ski, after-bike, and after-adventure destination. Guests, whether returning from the slopes or simply enjoying a stroll through the village, will find a warm, indulgent environment to conclude their day.
The Whistler shop will feature Chocolats Favoris’ signature real chocolate dipping station, offering soft serve dipped into one of 12 decadent flavours, including Salted Caramel, Dulce de Leche, Cookies and Cream, and Cotton Candy. The location will also provide Kooky Cones, rotating surprise dips, take-home fondue tins, and various premium chocolate bars.
Family-Owned Operation
This location will be owned and operated by Karen and Steve Desmeules, who initially fell in love with Chocolats Favoris during visits to Steve’s family in Quebec. Their son, Nick, will co-manage the Whistler store, ensuring it remains a family-driven enterprise.
“For years, stopping at Chocolats Favoris was part of our tradition when visiting family in Quebec,” says Steve Desmeules. “Bringing that experience to Whistler, where our family has built its life, is incredibly meaningful for us.”
Commitment to Sustainability
Chocolats Favoris is dedicated to responsible chocolate production via its Sustainable Cocoa Mission, which ensures all cocoa is ethically sourced. This initiative aims to support fair wages, environmental sustainability, and community development. Additionally, the brand offers a variety of vegan-friendly options and adheres to strict protocols for guests with allergies and dietary restrictions.
“Whistler is a natural fit for Chocolats Favoris,” says Dominique Brown, CEO of Chocolats Favoris. “It is a place where people come together, locals and visitors alike, echoing our passion for creating chocolate experiences that are meant to be shared with family and friends.”
The new Whistler location is at 4295 Blackcomb Way, Unit 105, and will employ between 20 and 25 local team members, dependent on the season. The shop will operate from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., offering visitors a taste of indulgence in a whimsical atmosphere.
As Whistler Village welcomes Chocolats Favoris, it is poised to become a destination for sweet treats starting January 17.
