chocolat bistro

have been here about 6 times,beautifuldecor and setting. the food is good, i think they could expand their menu a bit but what they do they do well. the staff are friendly but seem to struggle when they get to about 65% capacity. despite that the food is tasty and great value for money and the setting isbeautifulwhich draws us back everytime.

great food, amazing ambiance and wonderful staff. i've been here quite a few times and really enjoy thebeautifulsurroundings while sipping on a delicious cappuccino.

i recently hosted a bridal shower at the stunning chocolat bristro in durbanville. the decor wasbeautifuland the restaurant is perfect for an intimate event  around supper time. the service was quite slow but they made up for it by being incredibly helpful. dig into their pizza menu on a warm evening with a lovely glass of wine.

if i have to describe chocolat, i'd have to say... "all style, no substance".

look the decor isbeautifuland it has an air of sophistication and class... and that's about it. we waited quite long for our waiter to take our order and then a ridiculous amount of time for our milkshakes... only for them to arrive in a silly gimmick mug/glass travel thing. i get it- these mason jar/mug things are fashionable right now- but i really don't need a polkadot cover on my drink like a glorified adult sippy cup. in some establishments it works, but then again it fits in with the vibe and decor. they have no place here. i also had a scone with cream. i was really looking forward to a lovely, traditional scone with a small pot of cream, one with strawberry jam and some butter. what i got was some sort of scone/muffin hybrid (which just tasted like an airy, crumbly muffin), a massive container of cream and some generic packets of jam and butter that you get at a cheap cafe. very disappointed. if you're going for a certain style go for it full hearty! don't skimp by buying in those horrid little packets.

i feel like you're paying for the ambience at chocolat because when i compare their prices to other cafes and bistros in the price range- their food and drink is subpar compare to their competitors

i love the new chocolat bistro. the decor, the ambience reminds me of europe. yes, it is a little "pricey" but it's worth every cent. the service isn't too bad. it was a little slow the last time i was here but the food is very good. this morning, i had the eggs benedict with spinach and feta. it was tasty and more than filling. beautifulpresentation. come check it out.

this is abeautifulrestaurant situated in the heart of durbanville. they offer a lunch time menu and then a fancier dinner menu. i went for lunch and ordered the thai chicken curry. the presentation was quite disappointing. it all looked a little bit sad and colourless. taste was bland and boring as well. did not feel that it was worth the price. finished with the italian chocolate speciality late or something like that. it is supposedly a thick chocolaty hot chocolate but it literally tastes exactly like the chocolate sauce you make to put over your ice cream with flour and milk and coco powder. it has almost a gel like texture and you can't actually drink it like you would a hot chocolate. i was quite disappointed by this as well. however thebeautifuldecor and friendly service made me push up the rating to a three. hope they add some more exciting options and flavours to their menu
