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

- 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.
