The Café at Durći Chocolate — Restaurant in Lebanon

I recently discovered the most delightful hidden gem in Lebanon - The Cafe at Durci Chocolate, tucked just off Highway 40. What started as a simple girls' lunch outing turned into a culinary adventure I can't stop thinking about! From the moment you walk in, you know this place is special. Fresh flowers adorn the tables, creating an elegant yet cozy atmosphere. Their claim to fame is their exquisite Cacao Chocolate, but don't be fooled - their lunch offerings are equally spectacular. I was immediately drawn to their impressive selection of lemonades and had to try the dragon fruit variety - refreshingly tart with just the right amount of sweetness. The real challenge came when deciding on my meal, as every option featured innovative combinations with chocolate-inspired touches and fresh ingredients. I finally settled on their lunch combo: a Cáprese Flatbread and Cobb Salad. But these aren't your ordinary cafe staples - they're elevated with unique ingredients and creative preparations that take them to another level entirely. The flavors were so incredible that I'll admit it... I actually wanted to break etiquette and lick my plate clean! -One of the highlights of our visit was sampling their specialty chocolates - a perfect ending to an exceptional lunch. The Cafe at Durci Chocolate isn't just a convenient stop while traveling; it's a destination in itself. If you appreciate thoughtfully prepared food with a creative flair, this place demands a visit. Trust me, this is no ordinary cafe - it's a must-experience...

The Cafe at Durci is a true hidden gem in Lebanon! Bryli and Kacee took such great care of everything—they were friendly, attentive, and genuinely made the experience awesome.

And wow…Kris is an absolute rockstar in the kitchen. I tried the Cobb salad, roast beef sandwich, and the Figgy Jiggy flatbread, and every single bite was seriously incredible. Fresh, flavorful, and crafted with so much skill. This was quite simply the best meal I've had in years.

Their seasonal menu is another reason I’ll be back—you can tell they put real thought into keeping things creative and exciting.

If you’re anywhere in the greater Nashville area, do yourself a favor and stop by. Amazing food, outstanding service, and the kind of place you’ll want to tell all your...

You won’t believe this place is in Lebanon, TN. EVERY SINGLE dish has chocolate influence. The bbq has cacao nibs in the rub! The vinaigrette dressing has a touch of chocolate. And on and on. But it’s not overpowering. It’s just subtle enough to make you wonder, “What the heck is it that makes this taste so amazing!?”

The flatbreads are incredible. Ever had cacao infused pork belly on a pizza?

And the desserts? What!? Flourless chocolate torte. Pavlova. Pot de Crème? Wow!!

Hand made chocolate soda?! Frozen hot chocolate????!!!!

This is a little bit of heaven that’s touched Lebanon. Go there and you’ll see what I mean.

I can summarize this review by saying that there is no reason to have to go to Nashville to get really...
