guylian belgian chocolate cafe, east circular quay

9 December 2008, 23:38


i know i know im late to the guylian party. there has been baking galore and the weekends have been taken over by the xmas markets but a couplea weeks ago i trekked to the city to meet helen for the vibe entertains cookbook launch and we decided to have some dessert first at the guylian belgian chocolate cafe in east circular quay.


oh boy a whole counter of chocolate! how to resist?


cakes… um helen has a more detailed post here if ya want names and prices of the cakes


eclairs, brownies, financiers and cookies aplenty


baked goods filled with chocolatey goodness


wall of chocolates


i really wanted to buy the seahorse praline liqueur… oh man imagine how good it would be on icecream… anyone want to buy for me for xmas? =P


oh man a whole bowl of seashells!


and another huge bowl of chocolate!


squares of solitaire choccies waiting to be eaten


our milk and dark hot chocolate ($7)


we grin as we take turns pouring our hot chocolate for each other to take a photo ah the happiness that is food blogging


gratuitous chocolatesuze shot. i liked the square of chocolate on the bottom of the mug but wished i had more to chuck in to make it more chocolatey (you can never have too much chocolate)


chocolate degustation plate ($30). l-r cup of chocolate mousse, baked chocolate cake, macadamia brownie, the red delight, cup of praline ice cream, and three chocolates. the degustation plate comes with a hot chocolate but when our bill arrives we arent charged for our extra one. sweet.


helen is merciless and hacks away at our cakes. heh heh. she did a pretty good job tho right? lol i didnt enjoy the selection as much as i thought i would- for some reason there was a cloyingly sweet taste of honey in the brownie and chocolate mousse and id just gotten over a cold and ate way too much manuka honey for my liking. but the company was great and there was still a trip down george st for some icecream later…


i reckon i will be back tho there is still much much more cakes to be tried!
