The Chocolate Room, Parramatta

1 September 2010, 01:47

Chocolate makes me happy. After a crazy huge dinner at El Jannah where there was much chicken, falafel, baba ghanoush, hommus and the famed garlicky toum, Amy, Angie, Maria and I were in need of something sweet to round up our evening. A quick drive to my hood of Parramatta and a short walk over the river later (coughamycough), we make our way slowly up Church St and find ourselves following the scent of rich, heady chocolate to The Chocolate Room (Shop 11/15 Phillip St,
Parramatta). While checking out the menu we bump into Phuoc and later TudorGrrrl


Too full to try the waffles or the chocolate fondue we select the oreo tart and the mars bar tart (both $5.50) as well as the hazelnut log and the tiramisu log (both $2.50) from the display case at the front. I wasn’t too keen on the logs but I loved the mars bar tart which was a cloud of lemon cheesecake, topped with gooey caramel and mars bar pieces.


The hot chocolate range took up a whole page on the menu with a whopping 23 different flavours! I chose the Milk Belgian hot chocolate ($6.50) which is thicker and sweeter than a normal hot chocolate and absolutely delicious. Much <3 for the extra chocolate nubbins!


Mmm carnage.

1. Love the plating on the desserts

10. Yum! and 23 different flavour of hot chocolate?!

    I know I’m not the only who has thought from the tittle that you must have redecorated/renovated your house with chocolate. giggles

24. I’ve had the cinnamon, pistachio, and hazelnut hot chocs so far. A little too sweet for my tastes but I can’t help trying them on cold winter mornings on my way to work. An indulgent pick me up!

27. How does chocolate room compare to max brenners? I didn’t have that much of a great experience with the one at Wetherill Park. Looks quite yummy from the pictures though!
