I just spent three days in Sydney, during which time I paid two visits to the San Churro chocolateria.

If you’ve never had hot churros dipped in chocolate, you’ve missed out on one of life’s great guilty pleasures. Never had churros? Think of a hot, crunchy, stick-shaped donut, only better.

I’d argue you’ve also never drunk a proper hot chocolate until you’ve had their version of it. So thick and rich you’d almost call it a soup, it requires a glass of water on the side to prevent palate overload.

I’d recommend the spectacular “Azteca” variant: a dark drinking choc mixed with chili and cinnamon. It must be a spectacular winter drink.

Good thing I was walking it all off for three days…..
