If you're serious about chocolate, and visit Co Couture in Belfast, you could be forgiven for thinking you've died and gone to heaven! It's on Chichester Street, just off Donegall Square, and 2 minutes walk from the Visit Belfast Welcome Centre which is a great place to start exploring this city.
You could easily miss this, which is situated in the basement of a lovely old building, which was the home of Victorian engineer Luke L Macasey:
It's a stylish boutique:
where you can see (and smell) the chocolates being freshly made in small batches.
Once you've tried one of their chocolate oranges:
made with 70% Madagascar chocolate, and blended with a fresh orange ganache, you won't want any other.
You can sit down:
and have a delicious hot chocolate, whilst you decide what to buy. There's Dark Cocoa Tea (made with black tea and cocoa kernels) from Suki Tea. They have books on chocolate:
and some rather fine cards - "Forget love, I'd rather fall in chocolate"! Or how about a dark chocolate golden shoe:
or a chocolate fondue set?
How about a finger of fudge (not to be confused with inferior products with a similar name), or brownie bites, or rocky road clusters (amaretti biscuits, roast almond, fresh marshmallow and cranberry in ganache) whilst you explore the streets of Belfast?
