L'Artisan du Chocolat reviews
Friendly staff, and the most amazing chocolate. I thought it was impossible to improve chocolate by adding flavour to it, but L'Artisan's exceptional fusion bars made me reconsider. Usually I only eat pure chocolate bars, but I'll make an exception for L'Artisan any day.

Wow, new shop in Selfridges is amazing. I sat down with a friend and had a hot chocolate and a cold cocoa pulp juice with a small plate of chocolates. Very very good indeed.

Copycat chocolates: stilettos, trees, mint chocolate, Marmite, salted caramels... A large selection of chocolates but lots of 'have been created by others from around the world'. Very disappointing.

By far still the best chocolate shop in London. Love the caramels and fab new bars like saffron or mole. Too bad it's not closer to my home!

Disappointing and becoming too 'high street'. Not the nicest staff either - arrogance? Clifton Cakes make a far more exciting collection of chocolate shoes which I found on the website 'notonthehighstreet'.

I am addicted to the liquid salted caramels since I had them at Claridges. Must try!

Boring French-style chocolates. Go to La Maison on Piccadilly for something a bit more interesting.

I always go to this shop when I am in the UK, as it is the only one to make their own chocolate. Really nice new bars, like the espresso; in the summer nothing beats the chocolate granita!

Very regrettably past their sell-by-date. A bit too complacent in my view. What a shame.

Still good, but getting a little tired now and have been overtaken by both Demarquette and Melt. Maison is still for me London's number 1 though.

The best chocolates in London. Doing their own conching has definitely improved an already superb chocolate. Staff helpful and knowledgeable.

The best chocolate I have ever had, and I found the staff incredibly helpful and friendly.

L'Artisan is definitely a fraction better than Demarque for the top two spots, even though Demarque say they have one hand-made step that Artisan do not. It would add to the shopping experience if the staff at Artisan were friendly.
Visiting all the best chocolate shops in the world, I unexpectedly just came across one that clearly exceeds Number One Artisan - Vasalissa in Buenos Aires. I am sure many will be surprised at that.

Glad they have now stopped making the weird flavors. Very good indeed but the snooty French shop staff spoil it a little.

These chocolates are apparently the best around. I say 'apparently' because I ordered some for Christmas and they never arrived. Didn't stop them from taking my money though.

Beauty, flavour, skill, originality - all are abundant in these chocolates, they knock the competition into the shade.
Some people I have given them to would weep and wail if I failed to buy them every year. So beware - shopping here will become a lifetime addiction. You won't scoff them quickly - they force you to savour them and make the experience last. Very impressive as gifts.
