A few weeks ago I was invited to Rococo Chocolates in Motcomb Street, London, to experience their new Chocolate Breakfast! Yes, you heard right.. a breakfast centered around one of my favourite things, Chocolate, although this is no ordinary chocolate, it is made by couture Chocolatier 'Rococo' who have just won a trio of awards from the Academy of Chocolate.

You might be surprised to hear that the Rococo Tasting Menu is full of goodness, as Founder and Creative Director, Chantal Coady, informs me that "Chocolate is a fruit"! The surprises begin with a shot of the richest hot chocolate I have ever tasted, which is dairy and sugar free, served with a cube of marshmallow for dipping.



Next on the menu is Chantal Coady's famous 'Power Granola' which is featured in her book, 'Mastering the Art of Chocolate' and served with yogurt and fresh berries.

As some of you may know I have been gluten free for two years and while I feel so much better for avoiding gluten and wheat due to my intolerance, I still crave what I am not permitted, predominantly because finding a gluten-free alternative on the menu is still a rarity. It was a delightful change at Rococo, anyone with a special dietary requirement is catered for.  While I longed to taste the plate of Billionaire's Shortbread which was placed opposite me, I was offered to choose from a selection of patisserie and an assorted selection of Rococo's award winning chocolates.



I have since returned to Rococo to buy the Ganache Selection Box for a friend who is equally particular about her chocolate.

Also Rococo have just launched their new ice cream flavours, perfectly timed for the heatwave this week. I am yet to experience but will be passing by very soon to taste the Mint Dark Chocolate.

The Chocolate breakfast is available daily at the Belgravia shop, although booking is required.
