Was initially only passing by in the area, but got drawn into this Chocolatier by what was on…read moredisplay - simply, the variety and decoration of the chocolates showed skill and design, some of which seemed even excessively. As a chocolate lover, it would have been difficult to resist the lure. Looking in the store, they had some very nice chocolates, some of which seemed to have extremely high cocoa content - from what I remember, up to 90% or thereabouts (not my type of thing, but some people like it bitter). I would say that if you like chocolate but do not want to end up shelling out and buying loads, avoid this place!

These are truly some the the best macarons I have ever had including those from patisseries in Paris and London. There are a range of beautiful subtle flavours baked into these delights from rose and truffle to pistachio and orange. The macarons themselves are good for five days so perfect for a weeks supply. As they came to approx 1.50 Euro each it may even be worth coming from London purely for them! They also have a range of sweet and wonderfully elaborate cakes in various sizes. We had the beautifully soft and chocolaty 'Pop Art' described on their site as:- 'Caribbean chocolate mousse with Tonka bean Salted butter caramel Burnt caramel cream Biscuit Carambar' The smallest one is less than 5 Euro and enough for two...I can see why they also have one called 'Addict' and another called 'Apocalypse'. They also sell bread and other baked pastries though we did not try these. This was genuinely one of the highlights of my trip to the city and one of the reasons its on my list for another diabetes risking Eurostar treat.
