COCOA XO presents a unique chocolate buffet, a dream come true for any chocoholic. For just 790++ baht or 930 baht net per person, guests can immerse themselves in a world of chocolate delights. The experience begins with a journey into the "chocolate cave," a whimsical space filled with mountains of chocolate. The sheer variety is astounding, with nearly a hundred different types, from classic rum truffles and rich gianduja to more adventurous flavors like lemon honey praline and apricot spicy chocolate praline. Specialty items like chocolate shoes (which you can fill with treats!) and whiskey-infused chocolate ice cream add to the fun.
Beyond the vast selection, COCOA XO offers a unique twist: the chocolates are expertly paired with premium cognacs. This combination elevates the tasting experience, creating a symphony of flavors. The bar also features a range of cognac-based cocktails, allowing guests to explore different pairings and find their perfect match. A highlight is the chocolate fondue, where guests can dip various fruits and treats, adding a playful element to the indulgence.
The chocolate buffet isn't just about quantity; it's about quality. The chocolates are meticulously crafted, and the experience is designed to be savored. Guests can fill their plates with an assortment of chocolates, but are encouraged to enjoy them at the bar, maximizing the experience rather than taking the chocolates to go. This encourages guests to linger and appreciate the ambiance.
One of the most compelling aspects of COCOA XO is its breathtaking rooftop location. As you indulge in the chocolate and cognac, you can take in the dazzling panoramic views of Bangkok's skyline. The glittering city lights create a magical backdrop, enhancing the romantic and celebratory atmosphere. This combination of exquisite flavors, stunning views, and a unique setting makes COCOA XO a truly memorable destination.
The experience is more than just a sugar rush; it's a carefully curated journey for the senses. From the moment you enter the chocolate cave to the last sip of your cognac cocktail, COCOA XO provides a luxurious and unforgettable escape. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, looking for a romantic evening, or simply want to treat yourself to something extraordinary, COCOA XO is a must-visit destination in Bangkok. It's a perfect blend of sweet indulgence, sophisticated drinks, and stunning scenery, making it an experience that will linger long after you leave. Don't miss this chance to experience chocolate heaven in the...
   Read moreIf you love good chocolate, this is your crack den. Located on the 57th floor of the Centara Grand Hotel, itâs a hidden âcaveâ in the cognac bar that sits up there overlooking all of Bangkok. Itâs not readily visible, you have to take two different elevators, go through a fancy restaurant on the 55th floor and climb a two-story winding staircase to reach the cognac bar, but donât worry â the restaurant staff will intercept you and guide you to where youâre going. Once up there, have a drink and take in the incredible city views. Youâll need that drink, because eating lots of chocolate will make you thirsty. Ask the waiter to take you to the chocolate âbuffetâ and for a little under a grand in baht per person youâll be taken into the hidden chocolate den. All I can say is prepare yourself for nothing youâve ever seen before. Absolutely beautifully crafted chocolates, white, milk and dark, all over the place. Everything is labeled and some are even crafted with liquor or cognac. You are allowed to stay in the small âcaveâ and sample everything to your heartâs content, all you can eat. The only caveat is that once you leave, you cannot return. There are two chocolate fountains, milk and white, and plenty of kiwi and strawberries to dip. So delicious. There is also soft serve ice cream, with chocolate dipped sugar cones (of course!). The chocolate ice cream has some kind of liquor in it. Itâs self serve, and I sampled a twist of both. Now I want to tell you, I own my own commercial soft serve machine and I make the top shelf 10% butterfat ice cream, and I didnât think it possible to be any creamier than that. Their ice cream seemed even more delicious and creamier than what I can get. Sample the ice cream no matter how sickeningly full of chocolate you are (and believe me, you wonât be able to stop yourself before getting there lol). The only criticism I had, if itâs even a criticism (because I could see if the space were larger the atmosphere would be different and not necessarily better), is it can be a bit tight in there with more than a few people at a time. That aside, if you like high quality chocolates, this is your heaven. It doesnât get any better. Itâs not cheap, three of us spent about 5,400 baht on three drinks and our trip into the cave. But itâs one of those bucket list things you just gotta do. And we felt it was worth every baht. The only reason I gave 4 out of 5 stars was that the space was tight, I thought it needed to be...
