The French do 'classic', oh so well. Not surprising then that the hot chocolate I ordered at Cafe Vue was a classic beauty. Alas one must be patient and observe etiquette while they wait for a table, but will be rewarded if they do. A little note, if seated at the coffee tables in the corner gently nudge your dining companion to the cork while you claim the padded bench, if you are as ruthless as moi. Carry on.

Once seated you must order a Soy Hot Chocolate and if peckish the Pistachio Cupcake, which is green heaven on a plate. The hot chocolate will be transported to your lips in a smooth red tea cup of generous proportions and excellent quality. You will marvel at the pale cocoa milk froth as it bobs on your upper lip and long for the milky soft chocolate that lays below. The flavour could be described as chocolate neutral; an excellent balance between bitter and sweet. This is the comforting hot chocolate, that feels like home, but tastes much better. I admit the price is a bit rich, but then we are on the other side of Elizabeth where people supposedly work hard and definitely pay hard.
