over the next few weeks we are going to profile some of the great delicatessen, food halls and gift shops where you can stock up on your christmas supply of cocoa bean and skelligs chocolates and other lovely things...
59 glasthule road, sandycove, co. dublin emily and I first discovered the delights of cavistons when we took our chocolates for mark caviston to taste not long after we started cocoa bean. famous for its fish, this delicatessen and restaurant manages to excel at everything! alongside the fresh seafood there is organic chicken & game, freshly baked bread, organic spices and of course cocoa bean chocolates!
i recently met an elderly dublin man on a radio writing course in shropshire and found we had a love of caviston's in common. our conversation became so enthusiastic and animated that everyone else now has caviston's down as a must see on any trip to ireland.
the shop has been operating for more than 50 years. it's friendly and welcoming and as soon as you walk in the door, there is a buzz of people passionate about their job and the food they source, both locally and from around the world.
caviston's also have an exciting range of christmas hampers that you can see on the goodies and gifts section of their website: www.cavistons.com. look out for the ones containing cocoa bean and skelligs chocolates!
