Chocola — Restaurant in Maungakiekie-Tāmaki

The restaurant is located in the block of shops around the West Tamaki Road and Elstree Ave Roundabout. Keep an eye out for the Mexican Food signs. The shop is decently sized and has so much chocolate-related information and pictures on the wall. The counter has lots of chocolate-based snacks as well as the menu behind it. The menu isn't very big but does have pictures of the food. You order at the counter and they bring it out once it's ready. I went with the hot chocolate as well as a prawn tostada and a sweet bread.

My mum who loves coriander didn't like the sauce either. I'm not sure but if you don't like coriander maybe stick to the beef wrap which has rave reviews. My brother ordered the prawn tostada too which was nice enough. I ordered what I think was spicy beans on grilled capsicum. It was okay, no spice though. All in all an...

Here we went today for a late brush. Outside it looks like an old barn.... surprise when you enter lots of light and the most artfully decorated clean space. With enormous style the whole room filled with super interesting things and write ups about chocolate and its history. Service friendly and caring. Food felt just right for our tastebuds. José and Maria and their helper are friendly and attentive. The place feel human. No toffynose chef here. This is what we are about, brought up with and what we are used to eat at home and now sharing with you. Not what we have learned in a Cordon Blue class and now looking down at the once who have not done the class.....becauce feeling they are better than you who are paying the bill..... We highly recommend this place superb minimalistic menu and service. You find also small chocolate related items to buy. Thank you for...
