Reviews of Pierre Marcolini

While on vacation I came across this beautiful gem that is a heavenly place for curing a sweet tooth. Maria welcomed us very kindly and gave us a couple of samples to try of their chocolate collections. We ended up trying macarons and kumus as suggested by the lovely employee . The atmosphere is very warm and the employees make the experience so much better! Definitely will visit again !

Pierre Marcolini, a Belgian chocolatier, is one of my favourite chocolatiers. I first bought some chocolates from his boutique at St. Honoré, Paris, France when on a chocolate tour. He takes pride in sourcing the best cocoa beans and, more importantly, paying the farmers a fair wage for their labour. You can always find new types of chocolates in his boutique.

So, this place is obviously ridiculous (the man in front of me last time paid over £400 for Christmas gifts?!?!), but....the chocolates really are amazing. As are the macarons, and the eclairs. Buying something there feels like a brief fantasy of pretending you are a multi-millionaire living in Paris, and the joy of that doesn’t fade with new visits.

This is visually a stunning treat for the eyes before you even get to try the wonderful delights in store. The decor is as though your walking into someone’s beautiful wedding with ivory and pastel shades that give you an immediate sense of calm and meditation. Then there is the extreme excitement of all of the wonderful colored pastries and chocolates the choice is endless and the staff are so professional in taking time to explain the finer points of each item. There is s chance to sample some of the chocolate, and you will soon realize that you are dealing with some of the highest quality of product available in the UK. The cakes are magnificent, I bought a chocolate cherry square that was other worldly with its fresh cherry filling and complex textures, your are eating art. The macaroons are simply delectable, fresh moist dense and cleverly flavored they give you a real sense of the authentic and teach you the difference between meringue and real macaroon craftsmanship. If your in the area you have to stop by to educate your palette, if your not in the area fly in, drive in, boat in what ever it takes you have to experience chocolate as it should be.

I have heard so much about this place and finally I managed to try it. The eclairs were delicious I tried 2 flavours (Cafe and the mont blanc). The Macaroons are perfect it melts in your mouth try (flavour of the month) if you like to experience new flavours <3 Staff are very efficient and friendly the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that they don't have seating arrangement you can only pick the desserts and eat it at home which was a bit disappointing for me.

Eclairs were amazing - had the chocolate and the hazelnut one and they were both amazing; the hazelnut is definitely very unique. They are very expensive though at £5 each. The chocolates were disappointing though compared to other chocolates I've had from places like Maison du Chocolat. The chocolates here are really thin and expensive (£16 for a box of 16 really small/thin chocolates). The macarons are very standard flavors (but I didn't try any). Stick to the eclairs and skip the chocolates.

Summer 2017 in London is HOT HOT HOT, so how do you deal with the heat? hunt down any icecreams going .this is where the Pierre marcolini comes in.<br/><br/>Basically how it works is you can choose your icecreams lolly flavour and then choose your topping / coating.<br/><br/>I went for the Salted caramel and dipped it with milk chocoalte with toasted Hazelnut. .<br/><br/>It was so fresh and juicy, and the perfect foil to the slightly smokey flovour of the Hazelnut . A definite treat and I did NOT give a bite to my husband .;)<br/><br/>Price : 4£.<br/><br/>
