i don't get to scotland much. . .

but it seems that in edinburgh the perfect place for me exists: plaisir du chocolat. this little tea salon serves poilane bread with its brunch, and owner bertrand espouy makes his artisan chocolates on site. if only he would relent and serve coffee too!

while we're on the subject of uk chocolate, i do want to mention the artisan italian-style chocolate available at carluccios. they toast the chocolate beans over olive wood! this is said to be fantastic stuff.

finally, you really can't talk about uk chocolate without whispering the sacred name of world-famous rococo. this temple of chocolate uses valrhona in their candies, and owner chantal coady has written a killer book on chocolate. she is also one of the founders of the chocolate society, which i have mentioned before. . .
