Desserts
Unique Belgian Waffle with Praline Ice-cream, Chocolate Dip and seasonal Fresh Fruit ($18.50). The waffle was very disappointing - very soggy and it's structure was too thin. The ice-cream on the other hand was very delicious - full of flavour and very smooth. The chocolate dip was pretty watery - I'm quite biased towards dark chocolate - this was milk chocolate. The fruits were fresh and delicious. On the whole, I would rather the dish without the chocolate dip or the waffle - which makes it really just fruit with ice-cream. For what the place is, a Belgian chocolate café, this dish was very substandard. Don't bother ordering it - poor quality and over priced.
Drinks
Guylian Belgian Chocolate Special ($9.50) - Guylian Praline Chocolate, yogurt, mixed berry fruits, raspberry sauce, chocolate milk,topped with whipped cream. This drink is quite an interesting one. The mixture of yoghurt and chocolate milk together with berries is an excellent combination. Only downside to this drink is the rock solid praline chocolate at the bottom of the drink. It was very difficult to dig it out.
Camomile Tea served with milk chocolate truffle ($5.70). This tea was excellent - highly floral aromatic. However for $5.70 a cup, I would have expected it to be served with honey. The truffles and praline served with the tea are the typical Guylian chocolate one can buy from a supermarket.
Overall
This place is a perfect tourist trap! The food here is pretty overpriced and sub-standard. Service is slow. I will not return here again, nor recommend this place to anyone else.
