This gem of a restaurant opened its door in February 2007 and is
situated in the art hub of Cape Town. “Chicolate” is Spanish for
chocolate, and this theme is tastefully reflected in the décor
with textured walls resembling chocolate wrappings, and a
fireplace luxuriously stuffed with chocolates! Suede chairs in
rich brown and dark wood table tops (which are not unlike blocks
of chocolate) complete the theme, and contrast perfectly with
touches of red upholstery on the window alcoves and dramatic
high-backed seating at the larger tables. |
Chicolate is fortunate to be located in a handsome 18th century
building which boasts huge wooden doors and shutters (that have
been remarkably well preserved) and impressively high ceilings.
The overall effect creates a very special intimate ambience
which is hard to duplicate in many of today’s contemporary
establishments. Chicolate attracts a diverse clientele with a
good mix of high profile businessmen, artists, and the
advertising crowd, and there is no rush to turn over the tables.
Patron chef PJ Lakay is well traveled having spent 2 years in
the Far East and 3 years in Europe, where he gained exposure in
working with various top chefs. He has a passion for using raw
ingredients (90 percent of which are sourced locally) and
believes in complete transparency of supply from “field to
fork”. |
PJ and his team will take you on a new Afro foodie journey, and
whilst the menu will change seasonally, the signature dishes
will remain. Chicolate also offers lunch time specials which
include salad and fish options for those who prefer a lighter
meal. On the main menu, a starter speciality is definitely the
Wild Mushroom tart which has a distinctly South African flavour.
Main course signature dishes are the Duck Breast with chocolate
oil (served with sweet potato and parsnip mash) and the
innovative roast Beef Fillet with bacon shortbread and
horseradish ice cream. As one would expect, the dessert menu
focuses on chocolate with Death by Chocolate (dark chocolate and
orange fondant, milk chocolate ice cream and chocolate jelly)
highly recommended. |
