                <description><![CDATA[A great place to sample typical Catalan pastries, chocolates and take a coffee. The window display is an attention grabber and the bunyols, coca and croissants live up to their appetising appearance. The young manager is a friendly chap happy to serve in English.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[An established (since 1827) chocolatiers in the Barri Gotic. My god, talk about mouthwatering....not too sweet. Pierre Marcolini has some serious competition! <br><br>A truly original and stylish gift to take back for the descerning chocolate-lover (actually, I can take or leave chocolate, but these are special). <br><br>The ladies behind the counter even gift-wrap their cheapest bars of chocolate for you without the sort of attitude one might expaect from such an institution. Shopping the old-fashioned way. Not cheap, but what do you expect?]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[I don't know if this is a Catalan speciality, but it is absolutely gorgeous (and I am not even a chocaholic, not by a long way). In some, but not all, cafes, the hot chocolate drink is thick, a bit like custard, so that you have to eat it with a spoon. You might think it would be too rich, but no - because it's not too sickly sweet, just chocolatey.  Often served with 'melindros' - almondy cakes a  bit like spongy macaroons.  Or 'churros' - unsugared doughnut 'worms' that are delicious.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[The café is gone but the unusually flavoured chocolates thankfully remain. The chocolates are the stars, but the pastries are also gorgeous and the chocolate-themed gifts a lot of fun - chocolate beer anyone?]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Think Willie Wonka versus Ferran Adria and you get a cosmopolitan, eclectic and mind-boggling menu featuring such random selections as hot chocolate soup with curry and yoghurt ice cream. Beats other neighbouring milk-bars in what is known as the hot chocolate street.]]></description>
