03 Sep Shocolate, Fitzroy

Shocolate’s inconspicuous frontage is home to one of Melbourne’s premium chocolatiers. Although the range of chocolates and macarons on display is not as extensive as larger chocolatiers and patisseries, so many of their offerings sounded so enticing that it didn’t really matter. They also have a small cafe-style seating area for people to enjoy their sweet goodies and drinks.

I decided to treat myself and bought one of their award-winning Black & White macarons and a Crunchy hazelnut praline chocolate bite. The Black & White was a rather good-looking macaron with beautiful crunchy and smooth textures and a flavour that was not overly sweet. The hazelnut praline truffle was also a pleasure to consume.
