Just a few steps away from Aristokratikon, was another chocolate shop that seemed a little less “hoity-toity,” and The Kid made a beeline for that one, leaving MM and Mrs. MM on the sidewalk munching on the marzipan and pistachio balls. Le Chocolat had a huge selection and an amazing volume of hand made chocolates in their display cabinets…
…The Kid took her time and carefully selected a few pieces which were placed in a little bag, about 150-200 grams worth. These chocolates were also delicious and accessible, but definitely less sophisticated than those at Aristokratikon….
It is obvious to me why the saying “As happy as a Kid in a candy shop” makes so much sense… :)

being in that place seems like dying and waking up in chocolate heaven! i am a chocolate lover myself and like
trying chocolate with assorted nuts and fruits…
Where’s the picture of The Kid’s loot? :)
I felt the same “happiness” when i was at the Godiva store in HK. I wanted to sample all kinds chocolates.
MM, what brand will you compare the taste of Le Chocolat?
Monsters inc., actually, I never got to taste one… the kid must have consumed them all by herself… :) jenny, I didn’t get a photo, but it was a few assorted pieces of choc.

“HMMMM CHOCOLATE… IS THAT A TRUFFLE? HMMMMM”

Hi MM,
I’ve been a long time lurker of your site but when my hubby said that we’ll be heading to Athens this coming September, I can’t help but be grateful for all the tips. I’m much more excited to go to Greece now that i have read all about your trip. Keep posting your great finds in Athens! thanks again.
since this shop has opened I have not stepped inside. So far I have been home a total of 5 days this year…. got ticket mid Sept… time to check what I am missing in Athens.
Oh goodness. This post made me drool. It also makes me remember a t-shirt I have with a chocolate bar on it that says, “You never forget your first love.” :)
Athens or not, I have to have chocolate today.I bought chocolate covered almond just to satisfy my cravings.
Hey MM, how come you don’t gain weight? What’s your secret? :)
Tricia, hello?! I am shy a few pounds from 200! :) If only I could shave 25 pounds!
Dear God, if only we all could all eat whatever we want and not gain a single pound! If I were a super hero, that’d be my super power. Invisibility is for wimps. Haha! :))
