| - After lunch, my husband and I were strolling through The Paris hotel with no plan in mind. Happened across the Cafe Belle Madeleine and thought we'd check it out. Always up for dessert, or chocolate rather, as we both are major sweet tooths.
Decided to go for the Chocolate Raspberry Mousse, which was a raspberry gelee incased in an airy chocolate mousse and decorated with what looked to be a handpainted chocolate disk, white chocolate cigars, and a raspberry. It was very pretty to look at.
The taste, however, was just okay. The raspberry gelee was very firm, and it was a texture I did not prefer. The chocolate, of course, was delicious. However, I feel this dessert was more flashy than anything, and we might have been better served to go with something more plain. They did have quite a selection to pick from.
If I was local, I'd go here again just to sample something else. They had sandwiches here as well, so it might be nice to get something quick, easy and less expensive than a lot of the other places we visited.
