Artisan du Chocolat

A great place to rest while shopping in Selfridges, and enjoy exceptional chocolates (£3 for a tasting menu, but give yourself some time to pick from their large and creative selection, which includes truffles, exotic flavors such as Szechuan peppper, and various hard shells), or get a chocolate drink; I enjoyed their Matcha T-​bar.
If you’re looking to get a gift for a sweet tooth, you can’t go past their combination of impeccable packaging, creativity, and fine, locally made chocolates.

High-​quality London-​based chocolatiers with truly decadent and enticing offerings. How can anyone pass up their salted caramels… or their cups of melted candy bars that pass as hot chocolate… or their truffles… or? Well, it goes on and on.
Aside the fact that the chocolate is well-​executed chocolate, one of the more unusual things about this chocolatier is their fantastical flavours… and these aren’t flavours that are done *just* for the sake of having strange sounding flavours — no, they actually *work* — and magnificently so. I’m especially partial to the cinnamon, the black cardamom, and the red wine — probably because I like warm spices, and, well… red wine.
This shop is also ideal place to pick up a box of chocolate for a gift. The staff are always patient and lovely, and will let you really contemplate just *what* of their myriad of offerings should go into your hand-​selected box. The chocolates themselves are artistic and colourfully decorated in some cases — and there are so many to choose from, if you really know your recipient’s taste, they will inevitably know these trifles of divinity were picked just with them in mind. *Plus* the little «couture box» they come in is so intricate and well-​crafted that it undeniably *proclaims* high-​quality… so a person is sure to be well aware that this is no ordinary chocolate parcel even if they’ve never heard of the brand before. All that, and I would say that the prices are not that unreasonable. Hurray!
