The Sydney Traveler

Chocaholics rejoice! Sydney now is getting not one, but two, Guylian chocolate stores!
The famous Belgian brand has just opened a store at Opera Quays, 3 Maquarie Street, Circular Quay and there’s another to follow at 91 George Street, The Rocks later this month. They serve those famous seashells alongside white chocolate crème brulee, decadent dark chocolate cheesecakes, and plenty of other tantalizing treats. You can wash them down with a selection of bubbly champagnes or Belgian beers.
The cafes are open daily from 8 am for those needing an early morning chocolate fix!

Why not try a Mousse Van Gogh, …read more
