As chocolate shops in Brighton go, Montezuma's is one of the best: however, it is at the low end of…read more'best', with places like Choccywoccydoodah and Audrey's offering much more classy items for about the some price. What Montezuma offers, uniquely, is some very out-there flavours: lots of lime and chili and that kind of thing. Not my cup of tea, but if you like your chocolate with a bit of added zing, this is the place to go. Where a lot of of chocolate shops in Brighton go for the over-the-top, chocolate heaven approach, Montezuma's looks far more professional than most of it's counterparts, with plenty of nicely wrapped packages of chocolate. It isn't actually very enticing to look at: certainly nothing on Choccywoccydoodah's incredible cake display over the road. It's all very nice, just a bit muted in comparison to some of the more out-there places around town. Still, if you like your chocolate flavoured and a bit more... South American, Montezuma's may be for you!

They are made from the best quality chocolate, the shells are thick, and are stuffed with a selection of eggs, chocolates and truffles. The service is very obliging and they offer a very prompt postal delivery service.

This is a lovely little choc shop just up from Cowes Parade…read more They sell the best chocs, stocking brands such as Valrhona, montezuma etc, and also make their own on the premises - their truffles are wonderful and the "turtles" (home baked pecans with a layer of salt caramel covered in milk or plain choc) are scrummy.

This House of Chocolates really is what it says. It is a charming little shop on the corner of a…read morecharming green in Richmond. If it was all anymore enchanting it would be in a Disney cartoon. When I walk in I have to resist the urge to start chewing at the walls just to see whether this shop is actually made of chocolate. So, it is a relatively small premise, but simply filled to the brim. Mainly this shop sells individual chocolates; cream filled, praline, nougat, dusted, dark and many more. They also sell a section of Thortons chocolates as well. Because I came in near Christmas there was plenty of Christmas gifts, such as chocolate Santa's and snowmen. I'm sure Easter is just as well represented. This is also a prefect place to pick up gifts. There are walls of chocolate gift boxes, ranging in size from a few chocs to around a hundred. Anyone want to buy me a present from here?

I recognized immediately that it wasn't exactly cheap, but you also can tell right away that it will all be worth every penny. And it was. The woman behind the counter, who I assume was probably the owner, was extremely helpful and patient. She gave extra details on all of the chocolates that I asked about. I ended up getting one of each of the following ganaches: marc de champagne, passionfruit jelly in milk chocolate, a hand-painted heart with a bee, an earl grey, and I'm afraid I can't remember the last two. But every single one was divine, and it was all packaged in a perfect little box. Happy birthday to me! What a shame we don't have one of these in the states.

Brighton was buzzing and hot - a great city to spend a few days around. All those serving us were simply delightful and courteous. We bought our usual booze and nut based (macadamia and cashew) choccy and on this occasion we also tried a box of marzipan chocolates that were divine. We had the best ice cream sundaes, mine was passion fruit based and my wife went for the caramel based one. Both were delicious. The only down side was no customer toilet. As I see it when you serve drinks you provide rest rooms. These are premier league chocolates, hot drinks, alcohols like gin and cream based drinks, fab ice creams and they have branched into body lotions and cosmetics. Hotel C makes me think how shameful it is that Britain once had great chocolate makers and has lost them all to conglomerate greed. I'm conscious I no longer know enough about Thornton's as they have disappeared from view. I still remember one British chocolate maker that had as common in a chocolate box, green chartreuse filled chocolates and chunky stem ginger chocolates when today they sell stuff that they label chocolate when it barely is (a bit like cheap sausage makers saying their nasty products contain 'meat') instead they make stuff full of cheap sugar, cheap vegetable oil (they sell off cocoa butter to the cosmetics industry for more money and find cheaper muck to add to their manufacturing processes). In fact I watched a documentary on one of the big mega conglomerates about making chocolate bars and one of the staff actually discussed their efforts to make their products as cheaply as they could and how they worked hard at finding ways to make bars with as much of 'other' ingredients to cut back on chocolate. They sure a fooling a lot of people a lot of the time. For me it's Hotel Chocolat all the way.

I'm sure that place exists somewhere but alas, its not here! Hotel Chocolat is actually a chocolate company aimed at the luxury market.

I'm not a fan of their milk or white chocolate - I much prefer Monteuzumas and Valhorona - but I do like their dark chocolate and particularly, their Single Estate bars from Venezuela, St. Lucia, Madagascar and Sao Tome.

(Tied in 1st for my favorite London chocolate was the Pump Street chocolate curated by Harrod's department store, and one from Whole Foods hah!) Paul A Young is famous and won awards for their salted caramel chocolates, unique and unlike any other I've had because they're much softer than the usual caramels, but at the same time not completely liquid. I personally thought their brownies were the best part - they seemed overly dense but were so rich and perfectly decadent. I also purchased the sampler of different varieties of milk and dark chocolates, and it was my least favorite because I felt the darks were a little too dry and bitter and the milks were too creamy and sweet. I'd recommend you taste the samples on the main table before purchasing. The truffles were beautiful and the flavors unique but personally I was not a big fan (except for the salted caramels). Overall, highly recommend a visit here for the salted caramels and brownies!
