It was just about four years ago when Julien Rousseau-Dumarcet and Nathalie Morin opened Rousseau Chocolatier (1277 Hollis Street) after moving from France to Halifax and getting their start selling handmade chocolates at the Historic Farmers’ Market. This weekend the pair celebrates the next wave of their business with their grand reopening at a gorgeous, larger location around the corner in the soho (5151 South Street).
The new Euro-style espresso bar and sweet shop opens at 10am on Saturday, February 3, and boasts menu additions like croissants, pains au chocolat and brioche. Stay tuned for a summer dairy bar, too.
