Between the multi-course meals, fresh bread and butter, and chocolate-oriented dessert bistros, it is a wonder that I can fit into my jeans after a recent trip to Montreal. We decided to skip the shopping and headed straight for dessert. Our plan was to start with C'ChoColat but if there was a long wait, we would then go to Cacoa 70 or Juliette et Chocolat, in that order. Luckily for us, our first choice was able to accommodate us and we were able to settle comfortably on banquette seats towards the back.
The menu is huge and I would encourage you to carefully consider all your options before falling in lust with one of the many wondrous concoctions. In addition to choctails and a variety of hot chocolate and coffees, you can also enjoy mason jar-sized milkshakes topped with whipped cream and cookies. There are also sweet crepes and Liege waffles, covered in gelato, fruit, Nutella, and other sweet treats. Or you could try a dessert pizza (yes, dessert pizza - what could be better?) or chocolate fondue. I went with a Black Jack bubble waffle, think bubble wrap made with a light, sweet waffle batter, and filled like a taco with hazelnut gelato, whipped cream, brownie chunks, strawberries, and chocolate pearls.
The crepuccine is a crepe cut into fettuccine strands with brownie "meatballs", gelato (pistachio, hazelnut, chocolate, vanilla, or coffee), and sauce (dark, milk, white, or Nutella). You get to decide the gelato and syrup. As well, it was served, as if we were in a trattoria, with white chocolate shavings "cheese". The decadent treat was in a word: creative.
The table opposite ours had the right idea. Everyone ordered something different, hot chocolates, milkshakes, waffles (Liege and bubble) and even a pizza. And they shared! And Instagrammed!
It was an afternoon of pure and enjoyable indulgence.
We were both impressed by the sole server who worked hard to take orders, clean tables and collect payment. He seemed to thrive on the general busyness of the place.
