Guylian Belgian Chocolate Cafe, The Rocks

9 March 2009, 00:25

after a lunch of pork knuckle what better place to fill the dessert section of your stomach than Guylian Belgian Chocolate Cafe (91 George St, The Rocks)? Less than 200m away the cafe is the perfect distance to stumble from Lowenbrau to chocolate heaven.


Karen ordered the Guylian Dark Chocolate shake ($9) and I ordered the Guylian Praline shake ($9). thanks to my awesome non-note taking memory i cant remember all the prices or the names of everything and the Guylian website is SUCH a fail.


Icecream taste pallet ($14). i was expecting a wooden board holding cups or shots of icecream hmm i was quite sad that it was served on a normal plate… left to right the flavours were vanilla, praline, espresso and chocolate. my fav was definitely the praline followed closely by the espresso.


karen’s passionfruit cake. she liked it. um. it was passionfruity.


chocolatesuze shot!


visit #2 after pork knuckle #3 hehe Betty and Richard’s 100% Pure Pleasure


FFichiban’s creme brulee + biscotti


Trina’s cake


Shez and i decided to split the Belgian Waffle + fruits and Guylian chocolate dip ($18). her reasoning for getting the fruits was so they would balance the sweetness with the sourness…


chocolate covered waffle mmm


lol i like knives [pic from betty]

1. I knew about the Lindt cafe but didn’t know that Guylian had their own setup. Do you have a preference of the two?

   You love your knife shots! May be high time to update your blog logo and replace the lollipop with a knife :)

2. So I read your blog. I read jenius, grab your fork, fig and cherry, put it in your mouth. I do foodie stuff. I spend about 6 hours a week cooking.

   In fact, I happen to be going to this very guylian cafe on Friday night with my dance girlfriends, after doing the Thursday night sesion at Taste of Sydney…

   I got a call from my mum last night, while I was hosting a dinner party (japanese themed – the main dish was hiroshima style okonomiyaki). Anyway, I digress. Mum was saying “do you remember Irene who used to run the tuck shop when you were in school?” And I was like “huh?” And she continued “She came into my shop and asked if you had green hair and a tattoo now – she thought she saw you from her stall at the biscuit tree at the markets last weekend” And I was like “That would make her chocolate Suze’s mum… And one of the foodie blogs I stalk, is of a girl I went to school with”

   DUDE.

3. Hee hee you don’t look too disappointed with a plate instead of a pallet :P but I guess that’s cos ice cream makes everything better ;)?
