""Dark Side of Chocolate" Athens is a chocolatier that specialises in creating all sorts of little chocolate drops of heaven, bound to satisfy your crave..."

Well, lets be honest once in her/his lifetime everyone has experienced an irresistible desire for chocolate. I am officially an extreme chocolate craving case and I know the best place in Athens to satisfy my addiction.

Dark Side of Chocolate is a Chocolatier on 49 Solonos str. that specialises in creating all sorts of little chocolate drops of heaven. That tiny café/chocolate lab serves a great variety of hand made chocolate like mini chocolate balls with cardamom and hot cocoa beverages.

It is located in Kolonaki district where the most prestigious art museums and high-end art galleries are based. The owner of Dark Side of Chocolate lived and studied in Paris. So, as you can imagine the enchanting Parisian scenery and the fresh cuisine flavours inspire the Parisian-bistro style/decoration of the chocolatier and the dazzling taste of the chocolate delicacies.

Bon Appetit!

Mouries in Kolonos

Authentic Athenian

It does not matter what you order when you visit Mouries because everything is made with the same care (however, my favorite dish here is the meatballs).

Hatzigeorgiou

Αdding flavour to life

Every time I cross Evripidou Street, I am overwhelmed by the aroma of cinnamon, pepper, and oregano, and images of Eastern bazaars come to mind.

To Laini

Where the Cretan heart beats

My two favorites are Sfakianopita with honey and the famous Dakos. Every plate is cooked in olive oil with lots of rosemary.
