The Chocolate Inn Kitchen: A Sensory Journey into the Heart of Chocolate
Our restaurant, integrated into the structure of the Cioccolocanda, is a celebration of passion and culinary art. We are located right above Silvio Bessone’s famous Chocolate Factory, and the heady aroma of roasted cocoa and fresh hazelnuts permeates every corner, immersing you in a Chocolate Museum atmosphere.
We are inspired by the bounty of the Monregalese land: from the tender meats of the Piedmontese Fassona Breed to the succulent “Cuneo” Rabbits, from the regal Morozzo Capon to the Sambucano or Frabosano Lamb. Our menu also offers authentic Alpine cheeses as well as homemade delicacies made with fresh milk and cocoa nibs.
Our love for cocoa is palpable! Through recent studies and collaborations with expert nutritionists, we have developed dishes that combine nutraceutical beneficence and gastronomic pleasure. Experiment with our innovative use of cocoa: from cocoa butter and extra virgin olive oil for light frying, to grains as a crunchy topping, to cocoa mass as a refined sauce.
What about the desserts? We are talking about the famous Moor’s Head, twice recognized as the best dessert in the world, and other delicacies such as the extra virgin olive oil fondant cake, our artisanal ice creams and the wide range of chocolates and pralines.
One experience not to be missed is our “World Chocolate Chart.” Discover 44 varieties of chocolates, accompanied by a selection of dessert wines and rare spirits. And with the expert Chocolatier by your side, tasting becomes an unforgettable adventure.
Finally, for truffle lovers, our Chef Silvio Bessone, a passionate truffle hunter, offers exclusive dishes based on Black and White Truffles. For the more adventurous, by reservation, it is possible to accompany the chef in the search for the prized truffle. Contact us at info@silviobessone.it for details and availability.
