Beta 5 413 Industrial Avenue. 604.669.3336. Beta5chocolates.comChocolate eggs that actually look like eggs?

Open on Good Friday (11am – 5pm) and also available at the Dirty Apron, Le Marché St. George, and much&little.
Thierry 1059 Alberni St. 604-608-6870. Thierrychocolates.comIn true Parisian style, Thierry will be featuring chocolate roosters and fish in addition to the traditional bunnies and eggs.

Café Regalade 2838 W. Fourth Ave. 604-733-2213.
