Jacques Torres Chocolate

It’s as good as you’d expect it to be. Really quality chocolates for pretty standard prices, and a nice location; stop for Grimaldi’s first!

So I didn’t eat many of the delightful looking desserts or buy all of the absolutely scrumptuous pre-packaged chocolates.. but I did get the hot chocolate. Which was enough to make me want to go back even though it was a long walk.. although you can enjoy it by walking along the waterfront. There were 3 hot chocolate options, milk chocolate, dark and a spicy version. The hot chocolate was rich and just sweet enough without overpowering the cocoa flavor. I didn’t try the spicy hot chocolate there but I’ve had it elsewhere – it’s delicious. It’s not spicy the way we think of tabasco sauce spicy where it burns and you need water.. anything to make it better. But it’s a bit of spiciness at the end of your sip that is just enough so you notice it but not overpowering. The hot chocolate was perfect for a windy day and there are some stools and chairs where you can hang out with friends before you step out into the cold.
