Hot Chocolate Festival: Bel Cafe


Along with the Dine Out Festival, Hot Chocolate Festival has returned to Vancouver. They will be in town from Jan 17th to Feb 14th - perfect timing for some chocolaty sweetness! These events are always a delight to explore since I get a chance to experience fun and creative dishes made by Vancouver's very loved cafes and restaurants.

Below is the list of the participants: 

  • 49th Parallel Coffee Roasters + Lucky’s Doughnuts
  • Bel Cafe
  • Bella Gelateria + To Die For Banana Bread
  • Butter Baked Goods 
  • Chez Christophe 
  • Chocolate Arts
  • Chocolaterie de la Nouvelle France
  • Diva at the Met 
  • East Van Roasters
  • French Made Baking
  • Gem Chocolates
  • Glenburn Soda Fountain & Cafe 
  • Koko Monk Chocolates
  • Last Crumb Cafe
  • Mink Chocolates & Cafe
  • Schokolade Artisan Chocolate
  • Soirette Macarons & Tea
  • Terra Breads 
  • Thierry Chocolaterie Patisserie Cafe
  • Thomas Haas 
  • Uva Wine Bar + Bittered Sling


This year, I have chosen Bel Cafe since it is the place that pops up in my head first when I have sweet tooth. I also wondered how the awards winning chef  David Hawksworth's hot chocolate would look and taste like.

Main Street Cafe Tour: Sweet Revenge


"Living well is the best revenge" - George Herbert 



Yes it is, and if you add some sweetness to that, it's undefeatable. Sweet Revenge on Main street Vancouver is one of those places that provides you sweetness and comfort helping you escape from all those stressful moments you had during day time. The opening time of the cafe is quite unusual; unlike most places, they open from 7 PM to 12 AM  during weekdays and 7 PM to 1 AM for Friday & Saturday.
