Chocolateria Ecuador

Ribeira


If chocolate is the elixir of the gods, this place is surely heaven on earth. Nip in to find a retro-cool wonderland of beautifully packaged Portuguese chocolate bars, truffles – including a deliciously dark number with port wine – pralines, macaroons and bonbons. They make perfect edible gifts.
