CELEBRATE EASTER WITH THE CAPITAL’S BEST LUXURY CHOCOLATE SHOPS

March 2022

With Easter fast approaching, see our summary of the best luxury chocolate shops in London.

CARTOGRAFIE

Alluringly sweet and ethically made, Cartografie is a new chocolate company created by The Ritz’s ex-pastry chef Kae Shibata and Sven-Hanson Britt – with ingredients sourced directly from farmers.

PIERRE MARCOLINI

Belgian chocolatier and pastry chef Pierre Marcolini’s Marylebone outpost is home to carousels of pastel-hued macarons and towers of éclairs in flavours ranging from lemon and bergamot to piña colada.

DARK SUGARS

Dark Sugars founder Nyanga spent three years researching the art of cocoa production on a farm in Ghana before launching her shop in Brick Lane. Her tantalising creations include iridescent pearl chocolates and impossibly rich “overdose” truffles – and there are plenty of specialist options for vegans.

ROCOCO CHOCOLATES 

Founded in 1983, Rococo now has shops dotted around the city – but the original site on the King’s Road in Chelsea is still a favourite thanks to its mesmerising displays of nougat, truffles, and pralines. Treat your loved ones to their beautifully-packaged artisan bars, which come in flavours ranging from rose to basil and Persian lime, and are available to purchase via their website.

PIRRE HERMÉ

Pierre Hermé began training as a pastry chef in Paris at just 14-years-old. Forty-two years later, and he has his own confectionary empire – with a cult following based around his pistachio macarons. The chocolate bonbons are the ultimate hostess gift.
