Leonidas

Leonidas chocolates (or "pralines") are
imported from Belgium, and therefore
made in the pure Belgian style, with lots of
fresh cream fillings. Leonidas chocolates
are consistently good, and the
prices are quite reasonable for this quality
at $60/kg.
Our recommendation: the Manon, a layer
of chocolate ganache topped with a thick
layer of vanilla fresh cream, smothered in
white chocolate. Yummy!
Note: Leonidas has counters in some
department stores, for example in the
basement of The Bay at Yonge and Queen. There is also a
store at 5 Coady Ave in Leslieville on Queen East.

LEONIDAS has a nice store set up and a good variety of chocolates. But if you are a chocolatier ;) and really pay attention in details humm there are a couple ofl moulded truffles that are covered with air bubbles. Air bubbles usually show when the moulds are not vibrated enough before chocolate shells are set or the chocolate is already too cold to pour into the chocolate moulds. That should never happen. Overall its nice store.

While in Belgium, I was told that the founders of Leonidas and Godiva are brothers, use the same recipes and quality of ingredients, but appeal to a slightly different segment of the market. if you like nice wrapping, go with Godiva! I love the chocolates at Leonidas.
