| - For someone with not a terribly huge sweet tooth, the options are overwhelming -- from crepes to fondue to shakes, hot chocolate and more.
The spiced hot chocolate (CHOCOLAT CHAUD EPICE - SPECIAL CACAO 70) is supposedly a dark chocolate spiced with paprika, curry, cardamom, and espelette pepper. It was more subtle than I had expected. The flavours were really well balanced and drank rather smoothy, except it definitely is thicker than your joe schmoe powdered hot chocolate mix so it is a bit rich on the palate. $8.75.
Had a bite of the classic crepe with white chocolate (CREPE AU CHOCOLAT CLASSIQUE - AU BLANC) which actually wasn't cloying sweet (contrasted really well with my drink), but it is literally just crepe drizzled with white choc. This one seemed slightly overpriced. $7.50.
Finally, the classic chocolate fondue with dark chocolate (FONDUE AU CHOCOLAT CLASSIQUE - AU CHOCOLAT NOIR) didn't seem anything special. it was served lukewarm in a tall mug and while there was space under the mug for a candle, there was none. Still plenty molten, however, to dip the bits of banana, strawberry, pineapple, brownie, and waffle. The brownie was actually quite delicious on its own (actually more spiced than expected), but dipping it in more chocolate seemed excessive. Waffle squares were not good...could have been omitted. $9.50 for "simple" (vs. "double" - which i assume to be either two flavours or supersized)
Nice quiet place to hang out, with a patio out in front. Overall I can see this place being pretty exciting for chocolate/dessert lovers but for those just looking for a nibble of sweetness post-dinner, you'll definitely want to share.
