I love Leonidas Chocolate, i had them when i was in Brussels last year and the quality and taste is…read morejust as good in their Irish stores. so many types of yummy melty chocolate, why is it so bad for you? my one annoyance about this place though is its name, how the hell do you pronounce it? everyone seems to have a different way of saying it that they believe is the correct way! its so bad that i just cannot discuss these delicious drops of heaven because im never sure if im saying the name right and i dont want to look like a big eejit when i say "lee oh knee das" ! somebody help me!

I remember very clearly having a relationship-defining argument over the proper way to pronounce…read more"Leonidas"... the only outcome being a deep love of these hand-dipped chocolates (ok, and knowing I'm right in pronouncing it "Lee-Oh-Nigh-Dass", as opposed to his insistence on "Leony-Dass" ...whatever). The chain seems to have shrunk in the last four or five years, and spotting the open window on the Royal Hibernian Way was a delightful surprise. At last, those little almond-topped nougat squares draped in rich white chocolate can be mine. The hours are a bit funny though and it's not the cheery, luxe experience that competitor Butler's has going; but sometimes there's nothing sweeter than Leonidas... and being right.

First this place is only found in limited parts of the world so it's already worth a stop. I first…read morehad this hot chocolate in Scotland and fell in love with it. Finding it in Ireland got me to excited! They have various chocolate drinks but the hot chocolate with the chocolate whip cream is divine. There are different intensities of chocolate as well. The staff was friendly and would share their knowledge if you had questions. Again if you're here and especially if it's cold out, this is the best thing to warm you up!

I was greeted with a a friendly hello, was able to get an ice mocha and to my surprise a free piece of chocolate with my drink! That is what set it over the top for me!

I did think the best chocolate was the raspberry chocolate, great texture and not overalls sweet. The cold hot chocolate was very thick and not what I was expecting. Still good, but more dense. I preferred the hot chocolate with the whipped cream and toppings.

It's hard to beat Leonidas. Belgian chocolates at their best. I think part of the pleasure is at…read morelooking at the rows upon rows of chocolates and truffles laid out before you. They are little bits of perfection and just look delicious. Boxes are made up to your taste or ready to go. I love the white chocolate truffles, they are to die for... but hey, I'm not picky. I'd eat the whole box if I had the chance!

What a fabulous chocolate shop!…read more All of the chocolates are fresh and handmade, they let you pick your own too. These are famous chocolates from Belgium! I met the owner, a Belgian lady called Inge, who recently opened the shop with her Irish partner Declan. She was really lovely, she told me all about how she came from Belgium to open a Belgian chocolate shop in Dublin after falling in love with an Irish man. Very warm, welcoming friendly service and possible the best chocolate you'll ever taste!

They have a very diverse selection of chocolate to choose from which they will melt in milk for you. I had the roasted hazelnut while my friend had the chilli dark chocolate. The third amiga had a capuchino which wasn't bad either and we shared banoffi crepes which were yum yum. You can also purchase some of the chocolate slabs they have to sell. You break it off and it's sold by the kilo.

Cool thing about this company is that they grow their own cocoa, and do not add artificial colors or preservatives. The staff at this location are so friendly and outgoing. They let you sample the more popular chocolate items for free. They also have coffee and hot chocolate to purchase. They claim to have started selling chocolates online back in 1993 a little before amazon and eBay were selling. Cool if that is the case. Amazed at all of the chocolatiers that are in the UK. For sure will come back and try their other goodies.

Kids + birthday parties + lots of chocolate = SUGAR HIGH PROS: 1. You get to decorate your own shamrock! (went the day before St. Paddy's) 2. They let you try different types of chocolate along the way. I think the Butlers Chocolate Experience is geared more towards kids. I would highly recommend going in on a weekday so you can see the factory in action.

Many of us who have ventured across the pond to the US and have inevitably fell in love with some fattening, artificial, deliciously bad American candy. And up until now, the only method of procuring the sweet, sweet candy in Ireland was buying it online (and crying over the postage and packaging charges) or hitting up one of overpriced candy stores in the city centre. Sweetest Moments might not be as fancy looking as some of the candy stores in the city centre BUT the selection and most importantly, the affordability of this place has made it my favourite confectionary shop. The sales assistant even helped me put together a gift box of my friend's favourite American candy, very good service. I'll probably be back to get some retro sweets for Christmas presents. The only problem I have with this place? It's not a huge issue.. but there is no credit card machine in the shop so don't forget to go get some cash before you go in.
