The Best Hot Chocolate in London

Although winter is officially over, I thought a post on the best hot chocolate in London was still vital. In the past couple of weeks, I have sampled so much hot chocolate and I am now ready to crown the winner (and start dieting...). And when I say hot chocolate, I mean the thick gooey drinking chocolate, not the wimpy cocoa imposters! The six candidates, based on recommendations, were:

1. Eataly
2. Caffe Vergnano
3. Paul
4. Paul A. Young
5. La Maison du Chocolat
6. Apostrophe

And if you haven't already guessed by the picture, the winner is Paul!! Their hot chocolate was by far the best. Not only was it deliciously thick, but the chocolate had a really rich, robust flavor that none of the other places could match. All the others seemed rather dull and flat.

This contest is also an affirmation that the most expensive hot chocolate is not always the best one (La Maison du Chocolat broke the bank there) and that a patisserie chain can outdo the small boutique places.

Next Best Of feature will be burgers....stay tuned!
