The Chocolate Library (已結業)

Following our meal at Tin Lung Heen, we had dessert at the Chocolate Library, we were the only patrons there so we had our pick of tables.Chocolate soufflé with raspberry coulis and chocolate petit fours was the better of the two dishes. This was a classic combination of flavours that was executed well and certainly passed the “deliciousness test”.Chocolate fondue with marshmallow, brownie, brioche and chocolate pasta was straight forward except for the chocolate pasta which wasn't that good any

Chocolate Library，朱古力圖書館，是作為朱古力迷必定要一去的地方，為何遲遲還未去？原因是剛剛初開時，圖書館實在太受歡迎，大家都爭著要去圖書館看看內裡藏著甚麼珍寶，要在全香港最高的地方吃朱古力下午茶，結果明明是下午三時才開始供應，卻要早數小時十二時便到來排隊等候登記入座，未免太瘋狂了！有時在想，吃下午茶都是為了想好好享受美好的時光，跟朋友即興的想找個地方坐坐聊天，如刻意的早那麼前來排隊，好像有點辛苦。開業大半年多，相信朱古力迷大部份都已到過圖書館，人群應該會少一點吧。但原來愛朱古力的人真的太多，想進圖書館吃下午茶的話仍然要一時到來先登記，只是人潮相比起之前沒那麼的洶湧。這天終於了卻心願，能到訪她的圖書館，心情實在興奮！但這應該是她最後到朱古力圖書館，因餐廳增添了下午及晚餐自助餐，而改名為Café 103，圖書館從此消失了，有點可惜，個人認為Chocolate Library比Café 103名字更好聽。終於到三時，坐電梯來到103樓的圖書館，門前還看見Chocolate Library的門牌。這天，被安排坐在窗旁，坐擁維港景致，可惜今天很大煙霞，看得不清，如果天氣晴朗的話

SKY 100 落成時諗住會上去睇下, 感受下咁高望番落維港既靚景. 但係自從有左ICC, 我覺得可以多一個選擇比大家, 就係哩度, 又可以慳番SKY 100 既入場費換黎一個好RELAX 既下午茶. 比低兩百幾蚊就可以飽攬一望無際既海景, 邊嘆茶邊看景, 簡直係無比敵. 我地四人行安排左坐最右手邊靠窗 (望番香港島), 最正個位咁濟. So Lucky! 味道方面暫時放埋一邊先, 美女廚房, 睇相先講! TEA SET 未到就周圍影下相咁啦上圖: 可以讓你飽覽維港既無敵海景. 下圖: 哩邊係九龍, 要行過另一邊影呢! 飲品先到, 叫左朱古力, 真係好有朱古力味, 係好味的, 不過越飲越漏. 可能揀花茶會好少少, 可以中和番朱古力茶餐既濃味.經典朱古力下午茶套餐終到啦, 上圖左手邊係個盒套, 用黎套住個tea set 的. 外型款式就真係的的式式好靚, 但味道講真~~唔係咁岩自己口味, 可能鐘意食甜爺爺既朋友會鐘意吧?其實咁仲好過你比成兩舊水上去SKY 100, o係哩度一樣睇倒海景, 影到靚相又有得食, 仲高過佢三層樓添, 所以我覺得好值得去的.想去的朋友要注意一下, 如果想坐到靚位

難得放早，相約三位朋友一起到The Chocolate Library 嘆茶去。近三時到達，門外沒有侍應，我已急不及待走進去「參觀」了。從餐廳往下看，嘩，樓下的Tosca很高雅，更接近那無敵美景，可惜太昂貴，對我來說只可遠觀而不可褻玩，哈哈。雖則我們的打扮略嫌草根，但侍應的態度仍很禮貌。參考過OpenRice的食評，無需思考，點了「經典朱古力下午茶套餐」，$438 for FOUR，哈哈！千呼萬喚的甜品書櫃被端上桌，大家都影呀影，單是賣相已值回票價。美食由下而上，由左至右，整齊排列。其中一位朋友忽發奇想：到底這個書櫃每次使用後是怎樣清洗的？噢，相信如此貴氣十足的餐廳一定有辦法保持其器皿的衛生，不用多想吧！拍夠了，玩夠了，是時候讓舌頭享受、享受喇！三層的架子上有三款開胃前點和七款精緻的甜點，共十款。當中我印象較深刻的有：薄荷煙三文魚三文治：一咬便有薄荷味，煙三文魚尚算肥美。迷迭香咖喱火腿三文治：麵包的咖喱味很濃，基本上我吃不到迷迭香的味道。白朱古力杯：紅莓味非常濃，蓋過白朱古力味，味道較甜。雲石芝士蛋糕：芝士味不算濃，但入口很滑。朱古力貝殼蛋糕：印象不深，感覺較普通。橙香朱古力蛋白杏仁餅

12點半個朋友到達, 吹水一下1點便登記, 誰知道3點才開始所以要到處hea才可以回來3點, 入場了, 103樓,真的很興奮, 我們3個女生被分到近窗口位置, 向外望是the arch, 哈哈, 環境真的很好~點了ritz carlton 什麼signature dark chocolate, 頭幾口真的是很正, 濃濃郁的朱古力味, 不錯~但飲到一半, 就太甜了, 點了一杯apple juice, 朋友點了jasmine tea 和忘記了什麼tea, 不錯主角, 服務員把那本''library''拿來, 打開, 嘩, 就是那10件小點! 真的好喜歡, 哈哈, 感覺很可愛, 要在書架上把小點拿下來salmon cake, ham cake 同cheesecake 不錯, 個raspberry mousse 都好味呀, 其他就有點甜左d, 鵝肝不合我, 不太喜歡~總體來說值得一試, 感覺很好很優閑但大家可以3個人分食2個人分量, 同埋唔好點個個signature dark chocolate來飲, 會冇咁甜

Total disappointment!!My husband and I went for the lunch buffet at the chocolate library expecting superb service and food at this so-called 6 star hotel.Greeting us upon arrival was a non-smiling hostess. She walked us into the restaurant, only to stop us seconds later telling us our table was not ready. She then left us, unattended and feeling awkward, in the middle of the crowded buffet area.Service was inattentive, such as no replacement of used cutlery and refills of water. They were ru

一直很想去ICC的Ritz Carlton,看了很多雜誌介紹Ritz Carlton內的餐廳，最有興趣還是這間Chocolate Library，可惜不設訂枱，只可walk in，到達樓下先登記，我等了大半個鐘終於等到枱，位置於103樓，境觀真的一流，裝修簡約中見高貴，入到餐廳坐下之後，就來了一位外藉侍應介紹這裡最出名的tea set ，tea set包括3款咸點7款甜點，放在一個很精緻的書架上,欣賞過後立即品嘗一下味道薄荷煙三文魚三文治，包不夠鬆，薄荷味不夠~可可朱古力包伴鴨肝醬，鴨肝醬很香，比美鵝肝醬，想不到鴨肝醬配朱古力原來很夾，朱古力的甜味令鴨肝醬更香更美味，最好吃是這個迷迭香咖喱火腿三文治，同樣三文治不夠鬆，咖喱及迷迭香味不夠香濃~白朱古力杯，白朱古力配雜苺，酸酸地，好香滑好好味~朱古力貝殼蛋糕,普通的朱古力蛋糕，沒特別。~朱古力紅桑子撻,皮也很脆，朱古力很甜，但紅桑子中和了甜度，不錯~白咖啡軟凍朱古力撻，朱古力配咖啡簡直是最佳拍擋~朱古力拿破崙酥，很甜！很甜！橙香朱古力蛋白杏仁餅Macaroon，好鬆脆又充滿橙香 ！雲石芝士蛋糕，芝士味很香，如果濃些更好~飲品

今日同女朋友來CHOCOLATE LIBRARY 食~之前上來~但遲左拎位~攪到WAITING LIST~今次特登早D 來~一個超鍾意食朱古力既我~點都要來面聖下既~~來到環境好好~好舒服~大部份都係用啡色為主~有103 樓望落去~好好FEEL~講食物LA~叫左個TEA SET~有三層~有底食起~鹹既有三款~唔好寄望太大~其實只係煙三文魚包麵包同埋一個火腿包咖喱包~有個係鵝肝~還可~中間係偏酸既~我個人唔係咁鍾意食RASPBERRY 所以我一般~係個白朱古力雲石蛋糕好食D~到最頂係幾件偏甜既~最令我印象深刻既係朱古力拿破崙蛋糕~好食~~到現時為止我都會俾好評~整體係唔錯~~但到我飲杯SIGNATURE CHOCOLATE ~我就覺得好差~我估佢用既朱古力應該係偏酸~再經過加熱之後其實係好酸~陣味會變左~如果同LANDMARK 既VERO 或者LEONIDAS 既熬朱古力比~真係唔入流~~佢係暫時一杯我飲唔曬既朱古力~我建議如果試唔好兩個都叫SIGNATURE CHOCOLATE~~最好有個叫TEA~呢度有個APPLE TEA好香呢～同埋最後可以消滯～～ＡＮＹＷＡＹ　，一次都好夠了~~

Since our failure to queue up for the famous 'Chocolate Library' and ended up going to LGB last time (See my LGB review), my friend and I promised each other that we would be back in the near future!! Fortunately, we picked my friend's birthday to try it again. This time, we managed to wake up early on a Saturday morning, took a taxi, all for the sake of the Chocolate Library! (The following information may be useful for those of you who are planning to visit the Chocolate Library but are cluel

由今年四月開始，人氣高企的 <The Chocolate Library> 成了全城佳話！ 至今，熱潮仍未減退！在 7 月尾攪手朋友已經計劃到這裡品嚐朱古力下午茶！ 今次我們一行 6 人，一起走到 103 樓共享居高臨下的 High tea！餐廳位於 The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong 麗斯卡爾頓酒店 103 樓。 由於不設訂枱，食客需於酒店 9 樓大堂排隊輪候入座。 不過，排隊人龍除了去 <The Chocolate Library> ，還有另一間 <The Lounge & Bar> 的食客。別以為長龍得可怕呀！不枉兩位朋友由12:00 ~ 2:00 排隊守候，才取得靠近窗口的最佳餐桌！要順帶一提，近窗位置，只有兩張餐桌；其他餐桌可以俯瞰窗外環境，只是不太近窗而已！大約 2:00 我們幾位被餐廳侍應安排一部 Lift 直達103樓！大家期待已久！ 終於走到103 樓，見到 <The Chocolate Library> ！ 而另一邊，正是酒店大堂為遊客的接待處 ！走進去，裝潢簡約中見氣派！這裡分為兩邊

今日想食TeaSet, 酒店1時起登記，我1:10pm到達, 已經有一條好長的人登記，可惜都只是 waiting list, 每人只可以登記下午茶地點The Lounge & Bar or Cholocate Libaray. The Lounge & Bar由於3:00開始, 但是, Cholocate Libaray 2:00pm開始, 所以, 我地簡左Chocolate Library. ,我係waiting list的第八個,留了電話,然後等酒店聯絡幾點回來, 誇張, 到左4:30pm, 我地都未電話。跟住同仕應講姓咩電話,過了一陣就安排我地上去啦,撘車立直上103樓,第一次撘到咁高炸,我地二人叫咗朱古力tea set for 2($438+10%), 飲品要了latte and cacuppcino.其實每間酒店的 tea set, 價錢.味道差別不大，留下最深印象的是此處由103/F 飽覽維港, 其他地點實在難以匹敵。 一盒三層高的書架便送上:1) 煙三文魚三文治,可可朱古力包伴鴨肝醬, 迷迭香咖喱火腿三文治: 麻麻地, 味道一般, 2) 朱古力紅嗓子撻: OK3) 雲石

Seems like the popularity for the renowned Ritz-Calton the Chocolate Library has never gone down since the day it grandly opened, the queue is still crazy even in the weekdays. We went today at 1.30pm and were informed to be seated at around 4.30pm - 5pm. Since we have been here, we'll go shop around before dinning in.Despite the queue, I got pissed off by the fussy dress code of the Chocolate Library where no shorts is allowed, which my boyfriend was being rejected at the concierge last time.

我是甜魔界懶人，從來都很少去圖書館，但Chocolate Library又唔同，始終是甜魔必修科，總要去的。那就趁在天龍軒飲完茶，更上一層樓來吃下場。這裡除了朱古力甜點出名以外，另一人所皆知的就是要等好耐。由於「圖書館」不設訂座，很多人都會早成一兩粒鐘來排隊，真係唔講得笑，食好野是要付出的。還好，我們在樓下用膳，才能以較快的方式覓到位置。沒有想太多，直接來一個兩人份量的經典朱古力下午茶套餐。這款套餐，有開胃前點，有甜點和飲品，收費跟一般五星級酒店的下午茶餐差不多，但驟眼看吃的東西，對甜魔來講是吸引多了。不一會，一盒三層高的書架便送上。底下的那層是三文治，薄荷煙三文魚三文治，賣相有如壽司，無疑三文魚是鮮甜，但跟薄荷味的麵包配合，感覺總是格格不入的，或者是我未能接受新事物；迷迭香咖喱火腿三文治亦然，雖欣賞厚身的火腿，但夾埋咖喱麵包又是麻麻。底下的另一格是放著兩件可可朱古力包伴鴨肝醬，鴨肝醬其實有丁點似腐乳的口味，整件的吃就是咸咸甜甜的，有特色，卻不是好食。推上一層，朱古力紅嗓子撻是我較為喜歡的，至少是撻皮鬆脆，朱古力濃香，混埋微酸的紅嗓子，成件事總算是夾得上。紅白相間的玻璃小杯，其實就是白

My friend was having her movie night at the Elements and I was meeting her there for dinner. Knowing already that most restaurants there are not truly delicious, I didn’t have a high expectation and just picked a random restaurant at Civic Square. As expected the food was so-so, and we decided to move on for a pampering dessert and coffee. As I have read so much about the Chocolate Library at Ritz Carlton, we decided to give it a try.Arriving at the lobby, I found the Ritz Carlton looked very

If I didn’t experience it by myself, I couldn’t believe it!Chocolate Library doesn’t take ‘early reservation’ for afternoon tea, instead, it only accepts first come first serve by walking-in (Ha! Very haughty!). It starts its ‘first come first serve’ reservation at 1pm, lobby area. In order to get a seat for afternoon tea, we came over around 12:30pm for queuing up. Wow! We thought we were quite early, who knows there was a brunch of people queuing up already! Around 1:15pm, we confirmed our sea
