Angelinas chocolate cup

Hot chocolate at Angelina, Paris

By

A hot chocolate that is definitely worth the trip (and the calories!)

Like a bar of really good dark chocolate melted into a tea cup. Add the unsweetened whipped cream to taste.

Angelina is a beautiful belle époque salon de thé (tea room) conveniently located near the Louvre. You won’t feel guilty enjoying this delicious indulgence after trekking through the 3-football-field-sized museum. And even though there was always a line out the door when we visited (2x in 1 week!), it was never a long wait and we never felt rushed once we were seated.

That's 3 pots of chocolate plus 2 pastries for 2 people. I wish I had their metabolism.

Just don’t give me the nutritional details of this cup.

They also offer sandwiches, salads, pastries, coffee and tea, but honestly, I didn’t pay attention to the rest of the menu.

It’s all about the chocolate for me.
