So who's heading to Dundrum tomorrow...?

Calling all chocolate lovers!

Up until now, a visit to the UK, be it Belfast or London or Leeds (or anywhere in between) has always meant a pit stop at the gorgeous and delicious Hotel Chocolat – Britain’s premier and oh-so-chic chocolate café.

The British chocolatier and cocoa grower is pretty much synonymous with heaven for chocolate lovers, and we can never resist a little chocolatey treat once inside the chic black facade.

But as of tomorrow, you’ll be able to stock up on these delicious and pretty treats right here in Dublin, when the chocolatier’s very first store in the Republic of Ireland opens in Dundrum Town Centre.

The shop, which is located right outside the entrance to Marks & Spencers, where some will remember Yo! Sushi used to be, covers an area of 102sqm and will, on top of all their siganture chocolate treats and gifts, also have a café where you can treat yourself to Hotel Chocolat’s signature coffees, hot chocolates and ice creams.

The chocolatier, which has stores all over the UK as well as in some international locations, is also well known for their “tasting club”, where you can get a selection of their chocolates delivered straight to your door each month, a monthly subscription we feel like we could justify on every level, in fairness.

Curently, the store will be brimming with their 2017 Halloween collection (as well as their classic collection of chocolate goodies, of course) and just wait until all those Christmas chocolate start filling the shelves…

Word of advice: Just ditch the diet for the moment – this is one treat you do not want to miss.
