If chocolate is to you what shoes are to Sarah Jessica Parker, you need to make a beeline for the chocolate wonderland that is Princess Coco Chocolaterie.
A haven for all things sweet and impossibly delicious, lose yourself in this authentic French-inspired chocolat salon where you’ll find delicate chocolate masterpieces of all kinds. Ogle at beautiful glass cases filled with Valrhona bonbon chocolate temptations, handmade macaroons, pastries, tarts, and fancy desserts fit for royalty.
Dentists everywhere are slipping into cardiac arrest while the rest of us swoon over morsels like ‘Raspberry Délice’ with layers of chocolate ganache, raspberry compote and Valrhona chocolate mousse sitting on a nutty streusel base, topped with fresh raspberries, sliver leaf and pistachios. Wash this down with a creamy earl grey infused hot chocolate topped with shavings of Valrhona chocolate and you’ll be buzzing for days.
It’s the real deal here. Princess Coco herself has trekked the globe in search for rare Criollo cacao trees deep in the Amazon rainforest and foraged through isolated villages in Venezuela and Madagascar to bring us the purest chocolate possible. Why, thank you Ms Coco.
Not only a feast for your tastebuds, your eyes are in for a treat too. Admire the lush Parisian surrounds with purple and gold lounges, extravagant chandelier and magical Willy Wonker inspired window display.
Run, don’t walk to Princess Coco (the calorie burn will do you good).
