I would say Butlers. They do good hot chocolate. Have shops on Chatham St, Grafton St., Henry St and a few others I think

Butlers.

By a country mile.

Ask for it hot. I always find that places will give you lukewarm hot chocolate unless you specify otherwise. Mmmm Butlers

There was a lot of hype over the hot chocolate in the "The Sweetest Thing". I went there last week and I was sadly disappointed :-( It was cold and kinda powdery!!

I reckon cafe sol do a pretty nice hot chocolate!

Butlers is good but can be really crowded at this time of the year!
I am a big fan of Accents Tea & Coffee Lounge in Stephen St behind St Stephen's Green shopping centre. They have milk/dark/white chocolate where you drop chunks of chocolate into your cup and another drink, chocolate mixed with coffee with marhsmallows. Chai lattes too. And you can spend a lot of time on their sofas. Really great place.

Cafe Sol hot chocolate is actually Cadbury's hot chocolate, as far as I know, but you're right, it is really nice. The best I've had anyway.

Accents is a really nice café, wasn't mad about their hot chocolate but it's a great venue.

Probably too late at this stage, but Brother Hubbard on Capel St make some seriously good hot chocolate.

Mr Simpson

KC Peaches on Nassau Street, You've a choice of Dark, Milk or White. They heat the milk with chocolate chips. Delish

Accents is the nicest in the world, bar none!

Brick Alley Cafe in Temple Bar have a good range, including chilli hot chocolate. It's nice and thick too.

Murphys Ice Cream shop on Wicklow St do a really really nice dark hot chocolate, and they throw in a free ice-cream taster too.

And the Aztec hot chocolate is savage too, with chilli, cardamum and other spices.

Cocoa atelier on Drury St claim to do a good hot chocolate... never been in there but having walked past their chocolate displays I'd be inclined to believe them!

Also La Dolce Vita on Cows Lane do an Italian hot chocolate which is amazing, get them on the right time during the weekends and you'll get freshly baked croissants out of the oven too...

There's a place on Dame St doing a Ferrero Rocher hot chocolate, supposed to be amazing!

If you're ever out and about in Dun Laoghaire..

Try to head into the Sixty Four Wine.. (Link to Google Map)

I was in Dun Laoghaire back around September and they had a little stall outside doing a taster promotion, my god the hot chocolate is the best I have ever had.. thick and strong flavour.. none of those powderery dilute stuff
