This time last Saturday I was having the most divine afternoon tea of chocolate and champagne with a group of gorgeous friends at Shocolate: Master Chocolatiers.
Normally the reviews I do of places to go around Melbourne are focused on the kids, this is one for the mums!
Shocolate is a beautiful little chocolate shop in Fitzroy (Melbourne). They are a speciality chocolate shop and serve alongside their chocolates other sweets and a selection of beverages. You can also just buy from their extensive range of chocolates.
The indoor space is small, but it was the perfect setting for our afternoon tea. It comfortably fits 12 towards the side of the shop and the positioning providing a lovely intimate setting.
Pamela who is the director of Shocolate was fantastic from the first moment I visited the place to make the booking. She listened to what I was after and sent through a range of options for me to choose from. Our afternoon tea was:
6 chocolates each
2 macarons each
Mouse de biscuit petit four and 2 glasses sparkling wine
While I loved everything I had to eat, there were two stand outs for me:
- Pistachio Chocolate
- Salted Caramel Macaron
Cannot recommend either highly enough! And neither could Gerard, a very special guest who came along as a gift from my gorgeous girlfriend Cath!
Special thanks to Pamela who delivered exceptional service and helped make the day such a wonderful memory for me.
Yes that is a cacti sticking out of his back – he is a dinosaur pot plant!
