If you look closely at the menu, you'll see one of the hot chocolates is made with cocoa from Trinidad!
The mug is called a 'hug' - you're meant to cup it in both of your hands and get comfy - which Richard and I did!
We just happened upon the place after we left the Strand and bought tickets to see AVATAR in 3d (that was something!). We had about an hour to kill and it was freezing cold - the kind of cold that makes your teeth hurt! The restaurant was glowing gold and yellow and was irresistible.
What we drank was easily the most indulgent thing we've had so far - the most decadent hot chocolate you could possibly imagine! Richard's was a thick Italian hot chocolate with hints of vanilla. I promise you you could almost stand a spoon in it, it was that thick!
I had a simpler, dark hot chocolate that was quite perfect - with the heart-shaped design in my froth.
It's on Broadway and 13th Street, and I suspect we're gonna go back!
I'm intrigued by savoury recipies involving cocoa. Never had/made one, though.
ReplyDeleteyou neeed to try their pasta DEEE LISH! Meet Max too he's a really interesting fella!
ReplyDeleteOh cool! I wanted to have the chocolate waffles, but we ran out of time. And the next time we tried to go it was so packed that we gave up! Definitely will go back there though.
