Dining Out: Viva Chocolato

Viva Chocolato is tucked away in a corner of the Domain (next to what is soon to be Austin's first Zara). The restaurant, as you might guess from the name, clearly specializes in chocolate and desserty-type things but they also have a small menu of lunch and dinner items. I met my friend Allison there for dinner a couple of weeks back.

Allison's turkey panini - thumbs up

My sinfully rich brie panini, and potato chips.


Yes, this meal consisted of melted cheese, potato chips, and chocolate truffles.

The chocolates at VC fall into two categories, locally made and imported. We stuck with the local ones since they were having a special that night. Flavors, left to right: Guiness, Salted Caramel, Rose-Cardamom, and Champagne. The Salted Caramel was a hands down winner; the others were good, but not extraordinary.

VC also has a fairly large gelato selection, a wine list, a few cakes, and chocolate fondu fountains (!)
