Endless chocolate aisles, all shapes and sizes, even talked to some very gracious oompa-loompas:) Wish we had some more time to explore the cafe but the line was crazy - settled for the flavorful ice cream from the stand at the entrance Excited to try our dark chocolate bars :)

Without hyperbole, this is the best ice cream I have ever had in my life. It was the creamiest,…read moresmoothest treat, and my true measure of good ice cream: the chocolate flavor was full but not overpowering. The product was clearly made right there, not taken from a factory hours away. There's a beautiful view of the Yarra Valley, famed for its wine grape production, and ample space so large tour groups don't take over the entire area. Must stop if you're in the area.

I've been staying at the Grand Hyatt when I visit Melbourne for 20 plus years now.While I've always…read moreenjoyed the property I've never been blown away by one of their welcome amenities. Its always been common stuff.Wine,champagne, nuts so so common chocolates etc Till this past month there was a small box containing 4 pieces of The Ministry of Chocolate praline samplers on the living room coffee table When I do consume chocolate I typically want the very best like La Maison du Chocolat from France I didn't think much could equal or top them but these are my new faves I purchased 150 dollars worth and only sorry that I didn't buy more They delivered them to me for free at my hotel within 24 hours beautifully & elegantly packaged The sad thing is I wont be able to get them unless I come back to Australia.Lucky for those that live in Melbourne they have a world class chocolate maker.It's astonishing that the quality of their chocolates haven't been reviewed here before. I was once impressed by Cacao also another high quality Australian chocolatier that I discovered onboard a first class Qantas flight to the states and certainly they are very good as well However my vote is for The Ministry of Chocolate easily one of the worlds best chocolatier.Its exciting to be one of the first to share the word Don't miss a taste test.They aren't overly sweet, light,understated and near perfection if heaven truly exists .The beauty of the outstanding ingredients almost makes tasting chocolate like its your first time. Everyone I share these with swooned in The US and Europe Can't wait to return and get more.I'd be afraid to ship them to the US so sadly I will have to wait for my next fix.Lucky Ozzies! :) Share these with your partner and probably anything could be yours in or out of the bedroom :);) Cheers

Only cons, no savoury meals so make sure you don't come for lunch, also didn't see any newspapers.
