I recently visited MoRoCo Chocolat in the Yorkville neighourhood of Toronto. The relatively new chocolate boutique and salon offers flavourful sweets & savories as well as delectable décor.
Experience
When you enter, you find yourself in a modern white space that allows you to focus on the variety of small chocolate treats. You can then continue through to the plush dining room done in deep purples and grays with black, white and crystal accents. It was a bit like having coffee in the 1930’s. Anyone who knows me will tell you that my enjoyment of this place makes complete sense.
On both occasions the service was pleasant and efficient.
Food
My friends and I ordered the following items:
• Chocolate by the sip: “dark bold” flavour (a cup of dark chocolate, not hot chocolate)
• Bicchierini (a multi-layered chocolate espresso drink)
• Chocolate truffle flavours “Geisha”, “Soft Serve”, Chai One On”, “Full Throttle”
• Scrambled eggs, sausage and potatoes from the brunch menu
The flavours of the drinks are bold and the truffle tastes range from the usual to the unexpected. The chocolate by the sip (dark bold favour) was especially strong even if you are accustomed to rich dark chocolate. The chocolate by the dip (fondue style) may have been a better bet.
$
Coffee and chocolates for 2 - approx. $20
Brunch and chocolates for 2 - approx. $45
In this case as is many it seems, you pay for the experience as well as the food. I recommend this place as a once in a while spot of brunch, lunch, dessert or afternoon tea/coffee.

MoRoCo Chocolat is an excellent example of branding well done as the look and feel of the restaurant was exactly what I had expected simply by viewing the logo.
