Chocolate is the little black dress of desserts; it’s classic, it’s always appreciated and it’s always gorgeously delicious. Every restaurant worth its salt knows to include a little bit of chocolate on its menu. That said, sifting through all the chocolate-y offerings can get a bit overwhelming. That’s why we’ve put together a list of chocolate hot spots in Mumbai that you cannot afford to miss.
1) Theobroma
Theobroma brings you desserts straight from heaven. It’s best known for its lip smacking array of brownies; try the double chocolate brownie and you’ll be ordering a dozen more to take home.
2) Le 15 Patisserie
Desserts from Le 15 Patisserie are made with love by a chef trained at the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu. Try the chocolate caramel tart and the nutella fudge.
3) Chili’s
Yes, we know Chili’s is best known for its burgers and Tex-Mex cuisine. But, head there and try the chocolate chip paradise pie, oozing with chocolate chips, walnuts, caramel and hot fudge and you’ll understand how Chili’s found itself on this list.
4) Leo’s Boulangerie
This small, cheerful bakery offers desserts that seem to have been plucked straight from a chocolate lover’s dream. Try the triple chocolate mousse and the chocolate brandy cake.
5) La Folie Patisserie
Chocolate here is taken completely seriously. Consider the names; a chocolate macaron is called the ‘70% chocolat’, while one of their signature desserts is called the ‘100% Chocolat.’ The 100% chocolat is made up of a molleux chocolate fondant and Venezuelan chocolate mousse. Need we say more?
6) Le Pain Quotidien
While LPQ’s ambience and food seem to take inspiration from a French bistro, their chocolate experiments seem firmly Belgian. Try their Belgian chocolate brownie or their Belgian chocolate and Hazelnut mousse. For the ultimate treat, book a table at LPQ through WowTables http://wowtables.com/mumbai/experiences/le-pain-quotidien-four-course-summer-experience and enjoy a three course meal, after which you get to choose any of the desserts from the LPQ counter!
7) The Rolling Pin
Want to enjoy chocolate desserts without having to worry about whether they’re eggless or not? The Rolling Pin is your answer. Enjoy the chocolate fondue or the chocolate pizza.
8) La Patisserie at The Taj Mahal Palace
You would expect the Taj Hotel Group’s flagship hotel to be exacting when it comes to culinary standards, and after tasting the chocolate offerings at its patisserie you won’t be disappointed. Try the chocolate Danish croissant, or order their rich chocolate cake for a loved one’s birthday.
9) Haagen-Dazs
We firmly believe that the reason for Haagen-Dazs’ success can be traced back to its classic fondue, which is a pot of dark melting chocolate that comes with mini ice cream scoops, fruits, brownies and nuts to dip.
10) PizzaExpress
Look past PizzaExpress’ pizzas to their dessert counter and you’ll see their gorgeous chocolate fudge cake; baked fresh and served with mascarpone, gelato or cream. Yes please.
Go ahead and treat yourselves at one of these places. You know you want to.
