moroco chocolat

are you crazy about chocolate? well... i am not. yes, i am one of those weird people who don't like chocolate. don't get me wrong, i do enjoy the devilish creations now and then, but i'm just not crazy about it. but that does not stop me from enjoying chocolate from one of the chocolate havens in toronto. moroco is hidden in the heart of yorkville. once you find it (bit difficult to locate the first time), you will love it. i am sure the glorifying desserts and charming interior melt your heart immediately.



you will first be welcomed by very very bright pink room full of macaroons, hand crafted chocolates, ice cream and other sweet treasures. it reminds me of brighter version of anna sui boutique. as you enter the dining area, the atmosphere changes drastically to dark lounge feel. it is elegantly decorated with fancy crystal chandeliers, posh deep purple and black velvety chairs and fancy damask wallpaper.



we ordered a pot of tea. we had 12 samples of tea to choose from. after sniffing all 12 jars, we decided on cream of avalon. very subtle, smooth and aromatic. the tea pot ($10) comes with a cup and a macaroon. additional cups can be added for $2.25 each (without macaroons) with (i believe) unlimited hot water refills. next to the bar, there's an amazing collection of antique tea pots in different shapes and sizes as well as tea cups and saucers.





we also ordered tiramisu ($10) that came in tulip shaped chocolate cup, ladyfinger on the side with couple of strawberries and blackberries sprinkled with gold flakes. my goodness. gold flakes! the portion was really small, but gold flakes! can our body even digest gold? the tiramisu was fantastic. soft, fluff and smooth. the berries were also fresh, dipped in white chocolate.



we came to sit and chat and have a sip of our fancy tea here but were asked to leave after an hour because they had reservations for the specific table we were seated. really? the waitress informed us that seating time is limited to an hour for customers only ordering desserts. it would have been nice if she had mentioned this earlier so we didn't have to shove whatever is left in our mouths. also be aware, they add 18.5% tip automatically on your bill regardless of your party size. overall, moroco is a perfect place to indulge and splurge on scrumptious desserts. i want to go back when they open the outdoor patio.
