harvey nichols

if you are in london, make sure you zoom up the express lift to the 5th floor of harvey nichols flagship shop and browse the food hall. http://www.harveynichols.com/

of course i'd advise you to head straight for the chocolate bars and the cocoa bean collection! however, once you've satisfied your cocoa cravings, look around at all the other delights on offer. my favourite picnic food includes thin slivers of salami from the delicatessen, in season salad leaves, english tomatoes, crusty bread and seggiano raw artichoke pate. follow this with a summery cocoa bean gin and tonic chocolate bar and take home the harvey nichols own brand jasmine tea leaves.
if you're not keen on picnics, treat yourself to lunch on the roof terrace! if you can't make it to london, you'll find fabulous food halls in dublin, manchester, leeds, birmingham and edinburgh.

Your gin and tonic bar was one of the great surprises for Urru Mallow customers. We used to keep the Cocoa Bean bars on the counter and count the number of people who picked that particular one up out of pure curosity, then couldn't resist in trying it out. We always got good - if slightly surprised! -reports.

that's good to hear! i got similar feedback from chocolat in ennis when i popped in the other week. we always feel we must have got something right when true gin and tonic fans fall in love with our bar.
