This little place is unusual - in a good way.
It was opened by chocolatier extraodinaire Michael Recchuiti as an extension to his main business of manufacturing and selling elegant and inventive chocolate products.
I should first say that Michael is a friend of ours, so it's a shameful oversight on our part that it's taken us so long to dine here, rather than just buy chocolates at Little Nib, his tiny retail store a few doors away from Chocolate Lab.
We were first of all surprised at how busy it was. Admittedly, it's quite small, with seating for around around twenty people looking not just to silence their chocolate demons, but experience the savory items on offer.
While more than just a cafe, the menu is brief and full of tasty dishes.
We had two of that day's specials - a gorgeous lamb casserole for Mrs. P, and a less-than stellar chicken pie for me. Both dishes - maybe everything on the menu - seemed to be heated up for us rather prepared on the spot. Nevertheless, they were very good.
Naturally, when it came for dessert, we were spoiled for choice.
