From a vast selection of breakfast croissants to confectionery, from chocolates to piazza slices to go with aperitifs – Chocolat (open from 6.30am to 8pm) lives the different moments of the day with a rich offer for its numerous customers. It is hard to find anywhere else a better interpretation of the French croissant, comparable to the classic Italian cornetto. Also delicious are the cinnamon roll and pain suisse. The rich assortment of petite patisserie includes new additions such as Dark Velvet (plain mascarpone mousse, almond and cocoa biscuit and praline brittle) and Mediterraneo (lemon mousse and cream, almond and lemon biscuit, white chocolate brittle). The impressive cake selection, available also in single portions, features passion fruit and coconut, for example, and yozu and vanilla, and during the festive season there is no shortage of classic yeasted cakes. The “bauletto sacher”, finally, is made with chocolate-flavoured panettone dough with the addition of candied apricots and an extra coating of plain chocolate icing.
