This elegant shrine to chocolate features a tasting area where you can try loads of free samples showcasing the difference between cacao from Cuba, Venezuela, Sumatra and Madagascar, and also enticingly rich slabs with thoroughly adult and addictive flavours like pink peppercorn or liquorice. If you're buying souvenirs for the folks back home, you could certainly do worse. Vegan options.
