Gabu Chocolatier

You'll find Gabu tucked away on Gabriel's Wharf, that proper little pocket of South Bank where locals actually go instead of tourists clogging up the riverside. This isn't the kind of place that does novelty flavours or Instagram-baiting packaging—they're genuinely interested in chocolate as a craft. The team sources directly from producers and isn't afraid to let the cocoa speak for itself. It's the sort of spot where you'll stand there for ages reading tasting notes and actually understanding what they mean by 'notes of hazelnut' instead of just nodding politely.
