Chocoholics are starting to sound like wine judges, and Helen Greenwood wants to taste the excitement. Fanciers of single-origin chocolate take the wine analogy further. Like grapes, they argue, cacao beans reflect the characteristics of the soil in which the cacao trees grow and this lends the final product its individual flavour. It's basically the same as the famous wine concept of terroir.

Gourmet chocolates are elegantly displayed in a glass cabinet like finely jewellery, and there are other goodies, like the rich and real hot chocolate, made from melted Belgian chocolate pieces, and a chocolate fondue fruit platter for two, guaranteed to keep the most ardent chocoholic happy forever.

The battle of sweet versus savoury is fought across the restaurant scene, with poor old sweet inevitably coming out the loser. Thankfully, Hot Chocolate aims to rectify this almost universal inadequacy, with a dessert-only menu of sticky treats for chocolate fiends and sugar lovers. Docklands diners can conclude a stroll along the promenade with one of the house-made ice creams, a steaming chocolate pudding, giant profiterole or a caramel tart with dark chocolate and blood orange sorbet. As the name implies, the signature sweets are the hot chocolates. Lifestyle > Food and Beverage > Food > Chocolate narky Fri, 06 Oct 2006 13:01:20 GMT
