Simple, refined cuisine from British expat Marc Cohen in unpretentious environs.

Review Summary

Chocolats Favoris is described by reviewers as a must for chocolate and ice cream lovers, offering ice cream dipped in a thick chocolate shell, a wide array of toppings and sauces, and hot chocolate options that many compare to European style.
