The chocolate room: what a teaser! I mean if you like chocolate and are passing by, there is no way you would miss an opportunity to try it! That place is fantastic: when you enter, the smell of chocolate smothers you, coming not only from the display, but also from the small kitchen adjacent to the dining room, where they make everything that is on the menu.
Just looking at all these chocolates, made me drool!
I could not not try to have a sneak peek of the kitchen!
The dining room is small, with the walls covered with art related to chocolate, overlooking the backyard of the building.
The menu is a serious invitation to indulge, with some mouth watering desserts: brownie sundae, Chocolate Room pudding, black bottom butterscotch or chocolate fondue...Yum! I just wished they had a sampler!
Our waiter was great: fun and giving us lots of information, making us feel welcome. He started off by bringing us some chocolate sorbet for tasting.
The sorbet was delicious: it had a fantastic dark chocolate flavor.
Then, We went for one of his suggestions: the chocolate layer cake (three layers!!!), that is one of their best sellers!
It was a big slice for sure! But it was so good: the cake itself was light and was surrounded by a delicious layer of fudge. I truly appreciated the fact that it was not too sweet.
Then, we ordered some homemade ice cream: Madagascar vanilla bean and Belgian chocolate.
The ice cream was creamy, in the vanilla, the vanilla beans were apparent, and was my favorite of the two, the chocolate being very good too, not bitter and not too sweet. I like that combination of flavors that complement well each other.
With the ice cream, we could also order some toppings. We went for a silky coconut whipped cream.
If you are a coconut lover, it is definitely something to consider. Similar to the others, it was not too sweet and you can tell when whipped cream is homemade.
This was definitely the perfect spot for dessert and after visiting it, I just wished that when my parents sent me to my room, it was the Chocolate Room!
