She Chocolat, Christchurch, New Zealand

Everyone told us that we must visit the Cadbury Chocolate factory if we were to visit Dunedin. We went! But, a little too late. In fact, i must say the employees are not friendly at all as they didn't even offer to let us stay in the store for even a bit or to do some purchase and told us immediately that they are closing sales already when there were still people in the store doing their shopping. Fine! You just got yourself a bad review from me.
Thank goodness, someone else introduced us "She Chocolat" in Christchurch. The people there were so cordial and approachable. A waitress there even volunteered to take a picture for us! How sweet~~
She Chocolat, located on Governor's Bay, is a MUST go place in Christchurch, forget Cadbury (though i still gave Cadbury chocolates to my friends as souvenirs)!

the view from where we were seated overlooks a beautiful scene of blue sea and green hills

their menu in debossed hardcover

 chocolate brownie which comes with vanilla bean ice cream, berry coulis and a chocolate-made spoon $11.90

She's Belgian hot chocolate - $8.80

I love the chocolate brownie BEST because it has all the things you would want to try on the dessert menu- brownie, chocolate and ice cream! They also have a separate menu for brunch and lunch, for those who want something more heavy or savoury and even children's menu. I also consider the prices rather affordable for a place with homemade chocolates. See She Chocolat's website for more information.
