Bar


We cherish the idea of coddling you with the quality of our products. At Chocolat, the day begins with our warm, daily fresh made croissants stuffed with delicious cream, Chantilly or apricot jam. Or what about our home-baked cakes in the authentic Chocolat-style? Not to mention our fragrant cocoa ganache with tasty seasonal fruits, the little fondant cakes baked by the chocolate "maestri".

In winter, let us warm up your body and soul with our selection of velvety hot chocolates, pure or mixed with sensual oriental spices. And don't forget to savor our coffee, a blending of two ever-flirting flavors of chocolate and coffee, thanks to the skilled use of crème and milk foam.

We are now open at 9am serving crepes with eggs, ham and cheese. We also serve toast with egg, ham and cheese, along with baked on premises croissants, danishes and muffins.

 



Ice Creams


To understand the quality of our ice cream, it is important to know some of the sweet details. We use 6 tons of cocoa per year and our chocolate mixtures are made from six different qualities of cocoa powder from all over the world, mainly Africa and South America. We do not compromise the quality of our ice cream: our dark chocolate is very strong, bitter and powerful. For you and for all of us, who cannot resist this magic ''food for the gods.''
If the quality of cocoa butter makes the difference in chocolate ice cream, our cream flavors are intimate unions of milk, fresh cream, honey-covered hazelnuts, poppy seed and many more ingredients, including the "Round and Gentle," the unique hazelnut of the Langhe area, in Italy. You can enjoy it alone or mixed with the "Green Gold" of Bronte, the famous pistachio in Sicily.
For our fruit flavors, we love simplicity: only savory fresh fruits, water and sugar.
