About Maison Tsubame
Crafted in Melbourne, with Purpose and Precision
Maison Tsubame is born from craving french type of chocolate here in Melbourne and a love of sharing a very specific kind of chocolate with others: inspired by French tradition, Japanese elegance, and our artisan journey.

“Maison” is the French word for home, “Tsubame” is the Japanese word for swallow, a migratory bird that travels the world. Together, they represent our philosophy: rooted in tradition, enriched by movement, and always open to discovery.

Founded in 2025 by a French chef based in Melbourne (St Kilda), Maison Tsubame is a small atelier dedicated to intention, technique, and excellence. Every piece is crafted by hand in small batches, with premium couverture, unique recipes and carefully selected ingredients.
We make chocolate that is elegant, full of flavour, and rich in texture.
- Quality First – We use premium couverture and premium ingredients. Each recipe is developed to highlight the purity and complexity of the chocolate.
- Attention to Detail – From texture to finish, every step is done by hand, in small batches. No shortcuts.
- A State of Mind – Creative but grounded. Curious but disciplined. We draw inspiration from the local and international food scene — its diversity, precision, and high standards.
