Review Summary

Viva Panettone boutique offers a range of delicious panettone and tempting treats, with a limited time offer on the signature panettone and other delights. They are amazing as always. The panettones are among the best in the world. These panettones are a favorite for gifting to friends and family each year, with a wonderful range of flavors. All are delighted and love the airy dough with subtle flavor. Favorites include lemon and pistachio. Perfect for all occasions. On the Christmas table the Phoenix will be featured, a novelty. There is anticipation to try it. Disappointment is noted regarding the discovery and tasting gift sets, as the previous collection was much appreciated. Long live Viva Panettone. A reviewer was truly disappointed this year, expecting an excellent panettone like last year, yet the quality fell short. What a wonderful find. The boutique is a haven for panettone lovers. Many different flavors are available year round. Excitement grows to discover them as the year progresses. The staff are attentive, offering tastings and good guidance; returning visits are certain. The maple panettone is delicious.View restaurant profile

This Easter, Viva panettone teams up with Dario Bivona, winner of Le Meilleur pâtissier du Québec, to reinvent the traditional Italian Colomba with an original creation: the Colombisu.

Soft, airy, and shaped like a bird-a symbol of renewal-this Colomba is infused with notes of coffee, cream, and Viva panettone's signature candied oranges. It's a perfect balance of tradition and creativity.

"We wanted to create a dessert that reflects us: rooted in tradition but entirely modern," says Marie-Ève Chaume, General Manager of Viva panettone.
"The Colomba is still little known here, but it's a deeply festive cake, meant to be shared," adds Dario Bivona.
"With the Colombisu, we bring a contemporary touch to a strong Italian tradition without ever altering it," Marie-Ève emphasizes.
"Tiramisu naturally imposed itself: it's a universal classic, full of emotion and memories," Dario adds.
