La Folie du Chocolate

Mumbai (Bombay)


Chocoholics and cake fetishists look no further – this minuscule Kala Ghoda place will seduce and hook you. Owner Sanjana Patel spent seven years in France studying the art of pastry- and chocolate-making, which was obviously time well spent. Try the Intense Caramel with Haitian chocolate mousse, burnt caramel crème brûlée and butterscotch praline. Koinonia coffee is served – even in keto-butter style.

Frankly, wherever you are dining in South Mumbai skip the dessert menu and head here instead.
