Chocolatier Palet D'or Tokyo

APRIL 2023

Visited during afternoon tea time and it was a little busy but was able to get a seat in the back corner. All the cakes looks good which made it hard to choose, but decided on the Mont Blanc chocolate cake which contains alcohol and had it as a set with the cacao fruit carbonated drink which is topped with a cacao fruit sorbet. The cacao fruit drink was definitely interesting, light and refreshing. Never tasted the actual cacao fruit but could imagine this to be the taste with a hint of cacao chocolate flavor. If you like chestnut, chocolate and hazelnut, their Mont Blanc version is a must as they were able to combine all three flavors in harmony; very delicious. Also had to try out their seasonal strawberry themed parfait which had over ten different components layered and beautifully presented. The parfait tasted just as amazing as it looked, it was nice to enjoy so many sweet flavors and textures which were well crafted from top to bottom. Finally had the bean to cacao hot chocolate drink which was quite expensive but did not expect it to be two cups worth of hot chocolate. It was a rich and smooth high quality chocolate drink, but wish they offered different serving sizes. The cakes and parfait are on the expensive end but the quality justifies the prices. Service was great; the staff checks if you have any allergies and advise if you are ok with cakes/chocolates that contains alcohol, and the parfait didn't take long to be served after I finished the cake.

A nice cafe in a good location. The cake was very dense and did not disappoint! The ginger hot chocolate and the cinnamon hot chocolate were both delicious. Very rich and unlike regular hot chocolate you might find elsewhere.

The service wasn't bad. The staff tried their best but didn't answer our questions regarding their food/drinks very well even though we were speaking Japanese... Other than that, a good experience.

If u are addicted to chocolate, it’s “must go”. Lunch time, the price is reasonable. (You can get a piece of excellent chocolate with tea, herb tea, or coffee with lunch menu.)

By the windows, nice view and sunlight are available. Not co crowded, so when u need to have a break near Tokyo station, it’s kind a spot.
