Ladurée
Ladurée has been combining a plethora of styles with its characteristic art and passion, two essential parts of the Ladurée lifestyle. Each of their interiors is an adventure onto itself. The architects of the Ladurée style are meticulous in their work and impressive in their range, as at ease in the 18th century as in antiquity or the times of Napoleon III. They are passionate about everything they build, paint, sew, and upholster, and each unique object they create is conceived of as a dream of sorts. At Ladurée, food is seen as the weaver of dreams, so its interiors couldn’t be anything less than spectacular.

Dormouse Chocolates
Dormouse Chocolates was born to expand on the background of its professional chocolate maker, Isobel. In May 2015 they became the first Bean to Bar producer in Manchester. Their approach to sourcing beans is based on three main principles flavor, transparency, and people. They believe that each of these factors is important to bring you good chocolate. Good chocolate starts with good beans. They seek out the unusual and aren’t afraid to try new things. For chocolate to make it through to its main range of bars it has to have an exceptional taste that is significantly different from what they already offer.

Hotel Chocolat
Hotel Chocolat is one of the world’s few chocolate makers to actually grow cocoa, on its beautiful Rabot Estate plantation in Saint Lucia. Connecting cocoa-growing with luxury chocolate making and retailing makes them unique in the UK and gives them an in-depth understanding of the factors that impact the final flavour of its chocolate, right from the growing tree. Its house-grade milk chocolates, meanwhile, are 40% and 50% cocoa, and even the white chocolate is 36% cocoa, well above the average.
They have a deep sense of fairness that extends to its farmers, its customers, and future generations. Their cafés are yet another innovation bringing together cocoa-growing, chocolate making, drinks, and food, they are reviving the ritual of drinking chocolate alongside a carefully curated menu of tea, coffee, and snacks including its moreish brownies.
