The Elegant Gourmet

On the way to find a late lunch in town, we walked past this place … and then immediately turned around and went inside.
The reason? A sign I could not resist: «CHOCOLATE COVERED BUTTER TARTS.»
Yes please.
Inside, it’s a very charming chocolate shop, with a lot of different creations. They’ve got shelves and pretty displays of candy, a large quantity of fudge (which actually seems to be one of their specialities, they offer free samples) and then a lot of truffles and other chocolate covered things.
So, we picked up a couple of chocolate covered tarts. They have a variety of tarts and coverings. I had a plain tart with a salted caramel chocolate covering, and Lee had a plain chocolate and butter tart.
One minus is the checkout is a little chaotic. There were a group of kids waiting, and it was a little confusing who was serving who, but we got it all sorted out.
Later, we had these for dessert. Chocolate covered was a little bit of a misnomer. They’re more chocolate topped, and the chocolate, while tasty, was a thick disc covering the top, which made it a little awkward to eat. I ended up just eating the disc separately. However, it was delicious, and that awkwardness shouldn’t dissuade you from giving this place a try.
