Review Summary

Overall, reviews of Cacao 70 describe a cozy, family-friendly spot with a strong dessert focus and a reputation for excellent hot chocolate, crepes and fondue, alongside Tunisian dishes that add variety. The ambiance is frequently praised as welcoming and casual, making it suitable for groups, but service quality appears inconsistent, ranging from friendly and attentive to slow or inattentive with occasional organizational hiccups. Brunch is a recurring topic, with some visits delivering generous, flavorful spreads while others report cold pastries, questionable ingredients and high prices for the portions. Online ordering and certain menu executions can be uneven, yet several comments highlight standout items and a dessert program that draws guests back, especially for drinks and sweets.View restaurant profile
