A chocolate haven has just opened in Citywalk, and it celebrates all things hand-made and luxurious, across a 13,000 feet square space.

This is the first of its kind chocolate boutique - styled on the Parisian Salon du Chocolat, with a Dubai super-sized makeover - bringing an array of renowned international luxury chocolatiers together under one roof. There are over 28 brands (with much more to come in a planned expansion) from around the world, whether it's chocolate classicists France, Belgium, and Switzerland, or Japan, and USA.

Some of the more noteworthy names offering their artisanal, hand-crafted chocolate creations are Patrice Chapon (former Buckingham Palace chocolatier); deLafèe, known for their gold-adorned chocolates and purveyors of some of the world's most expensive chocolates; the Guittard Chocolate Factory from San Francisco; designer chocolates from Roberto Cavalli; and the French House of Bernachon. The other brands on offer read like an A-Z of the chocolate world's A-list!

Not only can you shop for over 700 different premium chocolate flavours, but you can really immerse yourself in the world of chocolate with the stunning chocolate sculptures that make up the boutique's décor, sample different styles of chocolate couverture, and enjoy chocolate-flavoured drinks at Boutique Le Chocolat Café or try gourmet chocolate-infused cuisine at Cocoa Kitchen, the on-site restaurant. And taking personalisation to a whole other level is their unique service which allows you to create a bespoke chocolate bar with an individual label and message.
