“The initial inspiration to start Le Rouge came from a desire to use chocolate as a medium to showcase the rich diversity of Indian desserts, and the subsequent collections are an effort to capture the flavors from around the world in the divine language of chocolate.”
Next-Level Chocolate With Le Rouge: Decadent Treats With A Huge Helping Of Goodwill
Le Rouge Chocolates by Aarti in Westport, Connecticut is a one-of-a-kind shop. Small and cozy, the shop is tucked away in a little plaza, off a little street in the popular coastal town. Once visitors taste the chocolate, they are hooked; once they learn what owner Aarti Khosla has been able to do for nearly a decade out of her tiny space, they are inspired. Through the doors, customers are first taken aback by the bright, beautiful packages. Like the wares of her native India, each glow with touches of bright color and gold. Even much of the chocolate itself shimmers inside the ornate boxes. Everything at Le Rouge is a gift, one for the taste buds and for the heart.
In addition to paying homage to India by infusing her chocolates with an array of native spices and flavors, from saffron and pistachio to rose and cardamom, Khosla ignites her culture’s spirit of giving with every bite, box, and transaction. “Humanity is my temple,” she says, “and giving is at the core of Indian philosophy.” When she hands over a box of Le Rouge chocolates Khosla believes she is not only offering a beautiful gift, one hand-crafted and hand-painted with high quality ingredients, but she believes it is a real expression of love. That sure is a lot for a little. On a less serious note, she laughs when people hesitate to open the packages because they are so decorative. “When you open a box of chocolates, it should be gone in an hour!” she tells her customers. Of course, she appreciates their acknowledgement of the packaging but wants them to get to the goods inside immediately.

What Our Clients Say
Le Rouge Chocolates by Aarti has recently become my most treasured discovery in Westport, despite its decade-long existence. It truly is a hidden gem. The owner of this establishment is an incredibly kind-hearted individual. We decided to order a custom strawberry cake made with white chocolate from them, and it was an absolute hit at the party! The cake had a uniquely heavenly mousse flavor, perfectly complemented by the freshness of the berries.

Aarti takes chocolate to an entirely new level. Every piece here is a work of art, blending rich dark chocolate with unexpected yet perfectly balanced exotic ingredients.
What sets this place apart is its ability to push creative boundaries while keeping flavors harmonious and utterly delicious.
