| - I had one of the Ecuadorian drinking chocolates, Arriba. I lived in Ecuador several years ago, so I'm partial to all things Ecuadorian, and my loyalty was rewarded. A perfectly balanced chocolate, just sweet enough, with a thick, smooth texture. My friend got one of the darker ones and enjoyed it as well. I can't remember if mine was Grandma's Style or Classic Style.
My friend and I shared the namesake salad that included pears, goat cheese, and strawberries. I loved it; she thought it was just okay.
I then had an Intense Brownie and LOVED it. Very rich. I also took home a few chocolates and enjoyed them a week later (I shipped them from Vermont to my home in Indiana so they wouldn't be damaged on my flight.) I got the Speculoos, the rum Coke, and another - the lemon tea, I believe. They were all delightful.
The server was very pleasant and helpful, and the atmosphere was so cozy! I'll definitely return the next time I'm in Quebec.
