I visited again yesterday. If a little of what you fancy does you good then you’ll leave here on top form. It’s the only place that I will order hot chocolate with the cream whip of course. I go for Milk 50% and I could opt for a range of choice like dark 70% or mint or chilli and so on. The chocolate whip atop presents a challenge as one must get to the table before the weight of the whip pressing down on the liquid Chocolat forces the chocolate to spill over out of the cup. So much for surface tension versus gravity at .7 and all the other laws of physics at play here it’s still after all a cup of hot chocolate albeit a very tasty cup of hot chocolate. The staff no doubt too low paid are a cheerful crew sadly in a country deliberately made miserable by tories who seem to relish in making people earn their poverty while finding even more money to pay themselves. An MP can now count on an annual salary with expenses circa £200k. The hot chocolate isn’t the only mug I’m looking at.

Our experience at Hotel Chocolat in Belfast was simply delightful. Located in the centre of the city, this chocolate lover's paradise offers an array of tasty treats. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with knowledgeable staff on hand to assist you. I decided to indulging in the chocolate shake, which was simply out of this world. Creamy, decadent, and perfectly balanced, it was the ultimate indulgence and left me craving more. In addition to the delicious shakes, Hotel Chocolat offers a tempting selection of chocolates, truffles, and specialty cocoa products.

This place is great! They have a huge selection of all kinds of chocolate, a beautiful show room, and the most friendly staff I’ve encountered in a long time. I got an amazing hot chocolate made by Emma. Excellent…I would give them my highest recommendation! I’ll definitely be back!

I had never visited a Hotel Chocolat cafe, so when I saw this one in Belfast it was a must. It was a hot afternoon, so I knew some kind of iced drink would be my choice. I opted for an original (?) chocolate drink with cream. When it was served I was immediately impressed. It looked so tasty and was actually divine to drink. I can not wait to visit another hotel chocolat cafe.

Really disappointed during my visit that the normally friendly service at this store was tainted by the barista Fiona. I asked her for an 85% dark hot chocolate and when asked if I wanted the cream topping too which I replied with a polite yes please I was told in a condescending and passive aggressive way that “can we try to include that as part of the initial order”. Implying I was holding up other customers by being slow to order —there wasn’t a queue at the time. The other colleagues have always been helpful when I’ve visited maybe this was just a bad day at the office.

Honestly took my mum in here for her birthday with a voucher to spend, the staff first of all stood talking with the dirtiest looks on their faces, when we asked for help they were so rude and made it obvious they didn’t want to help. We then went to pay and the girl was so rude didn’t say anything and then was giving off about the voucher ? Not what I expect from a top establishment

Such kind staff. Called in today for hit chocolate with my father-in-law in his mid 80s. Offered a choice of tables I chose one with people either side. As I was sitting waiting a staff member with a pink tint to her wavy hair came up. She wondered if I would like to move to a quieter table. With a keen sense of observation, she had spotted we were hearing-aid users! We had just come from father-in-law's fitting of new hearing aids at nearby Boots. So I explained that I had actually chosen a central table, so I could assess how the new hearing aids were working! I thanked the woman for her most generous observation and offer of a quiet table. Another member of staff paid us a compliment. By the way their chocolate was silky and superb. I hope the staff hear how much I appreciated their people skills. They will do well in hospitality and are a credit to Hotel Chocolat.

Muy decepcionado. Íbamos al Teatro Lírico por 7. 30 pm y pensé que esto sería útil. ¡También pensé que reviviríamos algunos de nuestros recuerdos de nuestros días de estudiante mientras estudiamos en Queens! ! El menú sonaba bien. También nos sorprendió gratamente las ofertas de bebidas. Llegamos poco después de las 6 de la tarde y, aparte de una pareja sentada en el bar, éramos la única mesa ocupada, 7 de nosotros en total. Pedimos nuestras comidas a las 6. 20 pm, 4 hamburguesas, 2 papas fritas y una lasaña. Por 6. 50 pm nuestra comida todavía no había sido servida, así que llamé al barman. Se disculpó y explicó que estaban teniendo problemas en la cocina y que tendríamos que esperar más para nuestras comidas. Le expliqué nuestra necesidad de ser atendidos rápidamente. Aparte de las hamburguesas, las otras comidas llegaron unos minutos más tarde. ¡Las hamburguesas llegaron justo después de las 7! ! Estaban secos sin absolutamente ningún aderezo, a pesar de que me dijeron que habría queso y tocino, etc. Me quejé, pero no tuvimos tiempo para una alternativa, así que tuvimos que comer lo que nos sirvieron. ¡Las patatas fritas también estaban frías! ! Nos ofrecieron cobrarnos la mitad del precio por 2 de las hamburguesas. Nuevamente no tuvimos tiempo para discutir o negociar nada diferente. Ya estábamos llegando tarde al teatro. ¡Solo tuvimos que pagar y correr! ! Cuando revisamos la factura de camino al teatro, nos dimos cuenta de que nos habían cobrado de más por TODAS las bebidas. Ninguna de las ofertas se aplicaron: el 1 para todas las bebidas al pedir un plato principal y el 24/7, es decir, 2. 47 para el vino sobre el que había preguntado expresamente. En lugar de comprar dos hamburguesas a mitad de precio, habíamos pagado las probabilidades. Comida extremadamente decepcionante, servicio lento e inaceptable y estafado con "ofertas especiales" como se anuncia en todo el bar y en los menús. ¡Come aquí si te atreves! ! !

Had a great lunch here at the weekend. I had the buttermilk chicken on a waffle with poached egg and salsa and it was super; the chicken was perfectly cooked and the flavours and textures worked perfectly together. It was so good I ate it slowly as I didn't want it to finish! My wife had the smashed avocado and it worked in exactly the same way. Add to this their lovely locally roasted coffee, a shared brownie to finish, really nice staff leaving two happy punters. Will definitely be back.
