Hotel Chocolat Cafe

Walk into Hotel Chocolat Cafe in John Lewis and you're immediately met by a magical, complicated looking contraption, or conch, which actually makes chocolate before your very eyes! Master chocolatiers are hard at work behind the scenes of the Edinburgh store, creating chocolate to be used in the sweet and savory menu of the cocoa cafe bar. On the menu, there's Hotel Chocolat's classic hot chocolates and sweet treats to choose from, and a nice selection of exciting lunchtime options as well. You won't ever be far from cocoa though, with the chefs offering ingenious ways of using chocolate in savory dishes to enhance flavour. Gifts, posh store cupboard items and even beauty products are on sale too. Horseradish sauce with a hint of white chocolate, perhaps? Rest assured chocolate is used modestly and tastefully! These Hotel Chocolat folks know what they're doing.
