| - Drove by the restaurant on my way to Tsuki Izakaya on York Boulevard for dinner with a friend on Canada Day and decided we'd pop in for dessert afterwards. This restaurant is located at the exact location where the Demetres used to be. There is a parking lot that is shared amongst all the other restaurants in the area, so you will need to walk a few steps before you reach the entrance of the restaurant. It is on the ground floor so is easily accessible. This restaurant not only serves dessert, but other drinks as well as hot foods and sandwiches.
If you like chocolate, you'll enjoy dining here. The name of the restaurant kind of gives it away in a sense. I'm not much of a chocolate person, so my choices were slightly limited in terms of what to order for dessert, although they were nice enough to make some small adjustments for me in my order. I had ordered the Raspberry Brownie Parfait but had substituted the raspberries with strawberries and requested for no melted chocolate, chocolate sauce, and homemade berry sauce (it still came with chocolate sauce, but not a huge deal). This parfait consisted of 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream, raspberries/strawberries, chocolate brownie bites, whipped cream, melted chocolate, homemade berry sauce and chocolate sauce. The dessert, I'd say was how I'd expected it to taste, nothing extraordinary and maybe even a little on the pricier end for what I got. The restaurant itself was nicely decorated and very well lit with lots of natural lighting for nice photos to be taken.
A friend of mine had told me that their hot chocolate was delicious, however, it was too hot to drink hot chocolate, so I'll come back for that one, maybe in the winter or when it gets cooler.
It wouldn't be too fair for a non-chocolate lover to critique this restaurant, but I would consider my dining experience to be just average. In comparison to other dessert restaurants, this restaurant is trying to focus on too many menu items that consists of both hot foods and desserts which may take away from the focus of chocolate (their main selling point).
The next time I go back, I'll probably focus more on their drinks menu.
