MoRoCo Chocolat

Nice place to have afternoon tea with girlfriend but the music a little loudly and the stuff at friendly. Hanging out with friends Next time.

Came here three times. Twice to purchase the macarons outside the store and once where I actually sat in for tea time. MoRoCo macarons are HUGE, so they do cost slightly more than the average macarons. One of the better Macarons in Toronto, MoRoCo is located in a fairly wealthy neighbourhood. You need to purchase at least 6 macarons to attain a box if you collect boxes! The shop also sells many chocolate treats, I found the chocolate shaped like a bone fairly humorous because it’s called «boyfriend treats». MoRoCo also sells soft marshmallows.
Coming in to sit down one time, MoRoCo is designed very beautifully, with «princess» chairs. We wanted to order their high tea, but we then learned that we needed to make reservations 24 hours ahead of time online. So, instead, I got on of their chocolate items, I go the smore. The chocolate tasted on the sweet side and the marshmallow was very sweet but delicious. I think overall, the treat was very sweet and very filling to eat. My friend who got the macaroni and cheese said hers was very salty and filling, but after eating such a sweetening item, eating a bite of the mac and cheese tasted REALLY GOOD.
I would recommend sharing their items as they feel very filling. Also, make reservations for high tea! It’s about $ 50 per person for high tea here.

3.5 Stars.
Located in Yorkville this place just screams (ok quietly whispers) luxury. Walk through the small store in the front that sells chocolates in bars, in shapes (skulls, buddhas, etc) and you get to the restaurant. Darkly lit in that sexy way and nice plush chairs this place makes you want to sit up straight and practice your best manners.
Dark wallpaper with these gold designs on them and wall art that is lots of celebrity hand prints that were dipped in chocolate along with a accompanying picture of chocolate covered hands lends to a cute and fun vibe to the place.
Today we went for lunch. I must say I am actually surprised with their lunch pricing (as well as brunch pricing). It’s actually pretty decent. My friend had the burger with sweet potato fries and that was $ 14! I had the savoury crepes with a salad and that was only $ 18! Not bad considering it’s Yorkville and I really liked my crepes but it could have been a tiny bit more savour. My friend’s burger was really delicious — it had a lovely sauce and cheese on it and actual burger was nice and juicy.
The service was so lovely — everyone was nice and polite. Our meal I guess took a bit longer to come out (although t be honest we didn’t really notice) and the server apologized.
Now the only issue I have is that I can’t figure out why the dessert pricing is so off. I had the olive oil cake with blueberry compote and lemon cream. The cake itself was a bit more dense that I prefer but with the sauces tasted ok. You could really taste the lemon in the cream — and it tasted like real fresh lemons… not like lemon juice poured into it. But that cost me $ 13! Almost the price of my friend’s burger! It was a pretty big piece but still…
I also wanted some tea afterwards so the server brought over their tea boxes so we could decide. He advised us to smell them (loose leaf). There’s also a description of each tea. We chose a pot of the Magic Lychee and it was such a lovely flavour — you could really taste the lychee — not too strong but not so light that you just get a hint. The pot cost $ 10…but we each probably got 3 cups out of it. But here’s the confusing part… to get another tea cup cost $ 3?!! Seriously… I already paid for the pot… why on earth would I have to pay for another ta cup. If I had known that I would have just shared my one tea cup with my friend!
The bill automatically adds 18.5% gratuity (strange since we were only a party of 2). They do brunch on the weekends and high tea. I saw some groupons for high tea so check that out.
In the summer they have a lovely patio out front so maybe then I will try brunch — but no desserts!

This is one of the most cutest/​fanciest restaurants I’ve been to. Specifically with their plushy cushions, and royal-​type surrounding. It is located behind a dessert store as well! Very neat.
My friends and I came for Summerlicious and ordered the ceviche, soup, chicken club sandwich, mac and cheese, zucchini spaghetti, crêpe with chicken. Everything was very average — the taste was leaning on the bland side. The looks of some dishes are alright, but the others are very plain — not appealing. The dessert dishes were more impressive. With the summerlicious menu, we ordered the gelato macarons and éclair. The gelato macaron was my favourite. What I did come for was the Melteaser, on their regular menu. It was a ball of chocolate that you pour hot-​temperature chocolate onto and it melts to reveal berries and ice cream inside. It was beautiful and fun. The taste of that dessert didn’t really strike me as something really delicious either.
Service was a bit slow. There weren’t a lot of people in the restaurant, but we had to go up to them closer to the end to get our bill. It’s an interesting experience, but I’d probably come .back with the intentions of having a dessert date.

We had dessert here today after a fail dinner, and I had such a pleasant time here. The staff is so friendly and loved the ambiance. We had the Black tie Affair (choco cake) and a frozen hot chocolate and it was pretty decent. But I loved the tea they served me. something with detox on the name. Anyway, quite a pricey place especially for the small menu we got but you pay for the ambiance and service more than anything else. I recommend going here if you want to take your posh friend (s) for some brunch or dessert, just dont expect too much on the food because its a hit or miss in my opinion.

The best macaroons Toronto has to offer HANDS DOWN.
So moist, big, flavorful, etc.
My first trip ever there, wonderful experience.
The store is so elegant, it looks like your walking into a jewelry box.

I have walked in once before months ago to check it out. Thought it was a cute place. After checking their macaron and tasted one, I knew its not the right place to be buying that particular item from which is fine as in Toronto there are about only 2 places I trust for macaron so i was not opposed to coming here once day and experience something else.
This past Saturday my cousin and I had an amazing lunch at a near by place and decided to have coffee and dessert some where else and we sadly decided to come here.
The host was nice to seat us after asking if we had a reservation! Seriously?
We were given 2 menus. One for the tea and one for whatever else they serve. I personally couldn’t read anything. I am 34 and wear no glasses and have nothing wrong with my eyes but whoever picked that font for the menu is either mean or …
It took them 25mins after we received the menu to take our order after we demanded attention.
The tea selection has everything in it but the demanded and expected… selection of god knows what but no basic ginger, mint, black or sage… comes in a big silver thing with the leafs in it with out anything to remove them. so once you get the tea to the color and taste of your liking and have a cup you need to add hot water cause its darker by the time.
The adam and eve apple «dessert» and as mentioned by the waiter takes 15min to prepare and it did take 20min… it looked like a mess and tasted nothing better than a Mc apple pie.
A waiter pouring water was obviously suffering from a bad cold. The management should have given him the day off.
Do not charge me Four Season prices and have dollar store spoons and water glasses.
I can confidently say that if this place did not step up their game and are open for another couple of years then their customers must be stupid.

Had the most wonderful, idyllic, brunch here at MoRoCo and I am so sad that I don’t live in Toronto, or, surely, I would be back every week!
After wandering down the absolutely charming Yorkville Avenue, we found MoRoCo tucked back off the street, in a quiet courtyard. Greeted by friendly and helpful staff, we were seated out on the patio, which was perfect for enjoying the nice afternoon and people watching. I honestly cannot explain just how quaint and charming this place was; I literally felt like I was in a dream, soaking up the sun, chatting with friendly people, eating brunch on a Sunday afternoon.
We couldn’t even begin to decide what we wanted to order, so we asked our waitress… who promptly took our menus away from us, jokingly (so we wouldn’t confuse ourselves any more than we already had, looking at all of the options), and helped us make our final choices.
When our food arrived it was presented perfectly and it tasted WONDERFUL! The staff was attentive, followed up to see how everything was, and refilled our water multiple times. It was an absolutely perfect experience.
I would say MoRoCo is an absolute MUST VISIT in Toronto. If/​when I am back in town I will definitely be coming back!

I went here with my boyfriend on a cool, rainy night and it was just what we needed! We came after dinner and ordered a pot of coco cream ribosome tea first. There was coconut infused and so so good. The tea pot is big for two people, not that would have stopped me from ordering. We had about 2 – 3 cups each and the pot was still half full. The presentation was really cute and it complimented the delicious salted caramel macaroon. The macaroon and the tea was a perfect balance and I’ve had macaroons from LaDuree too. The salted caramel is one of the top (if not the top).
Next we ordered the Melteaser. It’s the dessert where you pour melted hot dark chocolate over a chocolate ball, thus exposing ice cream and raspberries hidden inside. My server asked the kitchen to put vanilla ice cream instead of chocolate to better suit my preference. The chocolate syrup has a nutty flavour to it which I enjoyed. The portion of this dessert is small for it’s price. I just ate dinner so this was the perfect amount. It’s essentially one big scoop of ice cream. I’d like to think it’s quality over quantity.
I can’t wait to come back and try their afternoon tea and savoury menu. Our server was really polite and accommodating.

I love that they serve their teas with a macaron that totally made my day. I had the passion fruit macaron. Delicious! One of the best macarons I’ve had.
I had the black tie cake. I honestly was expecting a lot more in terms of flavor. It was overpoweringly sweet and didn’t have much chocolate flavor. The icing was white chocolate icing but tasted in pure icing sugar. Disappointed in the cake. Will be getting the chocolate torte cake next time, that looked delicious.

A «gaudy» but delicate ambiance, great for a girls morning or night out. Brunch is served and service was wonderful!
Love the décor when you feel «girly» and a decent patio in Yorkville away from the cars and crowd.
Truffle Mac and Cheese is worth the trip!

Came to Moroco with my boyfriend for a last-​minute brunch in Yorkville as we were staying in the area. My boyfriend had been to Moroco a few years prior and experienced a great meal, so I was excited to try it out. First impression– The place is very chic! Loved the décor (especially the patio– those macaroon-​inspired pillows were too cute!). We sat on the patio and ordered Shakshuka and the Avocado Benny. My shakshuka came out very hot, but the portion was quite small. I also found it to be on the salty side. I had to request extra baguette slices as it only came with 3 thin slices, which was barely enough. Overall, Moroco was nothing special, and I would hesitate to come back.

Came here with a friend today for afternoon treats. I ordered an Americano and the ‘A Black Tie Affair’ cake.
The service was really good. Our server was very courteous even though my friend and I took forever to decide what we wanted. He was apologetic when our cake was delayed and offered us both a macaron and a truffle for the inconvenience.
The champagne truffles we had were good. The macarons were quite nutty and fresh. The cake was plain and nothing to write home about.
Overall the atmosphere was nice and the service was great. I will probably come back to try more of their desserts.

We came here for fancy desserts: p
The décor is cute, the atmosphere is warming and romantic. The staffs are very friendly and quick. One of the staffs was very useful when my friend had questions about all the choices of teas they have.
I ordered cappuccino with Savoury Crepes (Chicken & mushrooms in a rosemary white wine sauce). The chicken was pretty good, but the sauce was too creamy. I started to feel sick after finishing half of the dish.
Cappuccino came with a cute little piece of chocolate. It was super foamy and tasted pretty good.
We shared the chocolate fondue and 2 desserts: S’mores Love and Get Cherried Away. They looked very attractive and tasted fine. Too sweet for me though. The macaroons here aren’t very good, compare to other shops.
The place is a bit hard to find, and it was pricey. You can easily find the same quality meals like MoRoCo at any restaurants with more reasonable price. At MoRoCo, you pay for the fancy atmosphere, and high-​quality service experience.

The macarons here are just okay for me. A bit pricier in comparison to other macaron shops in Toronto. I also tried this place for a winterlicious dinner too and found the food to be very greasy.
I think MoRoCo is over-​hyped, they need to redo their menu or get a new chef. Something to improve the quality of food and justify the prices. For now, if I need Macarons… I would rather go to Nadege, Butter Avenue or Delysees.

SHIT AS SHIT.
Everything is bland. And nasty. Come for the macaroons and leave immediately. Do not, do not, do not eat the food.
The chicken crêpe is like a lot like of food you would get from a three star Cuban all inclusive resort.
The Mac and cheese has no cheese and only butter not a sight of truffle. For 15 dollars I can get 7 boxes of Mac and cheese.

This is my 2^nd Winterlicious 2015 dinner.
Before I get onto the food, I want to discuss my unpleasant experience before dinner even started. We were on our way there and I get a phone call from two other friends who were early that MoRoCo did not have reservations under my name. For the record, I called ahead earlier in the week because I was unable to make reservations on their Bookenda app on their website. (As an aside, I’m very disappointed they switched over to Bookenda from OpenTable because I’m a few hundred points from getting a certificate) I had spoken to the hostess that day who said that while they cannot accommodate my 7PM request for a table of 8 people for Friday, February 6, she would be able to accommodate 7:30PM. She confirmed and took down my information but I guess she never wrote it down. Or lost it. I don’t really care because at the end of the day, 8 people didn’t have a table for 7:30PM.
Prior to that unpleasant experience, I had in fact, called in earlier that afternoon to speak to a supervisor about a certain request but was put on hold for 20 minutes. I called in again after I hung up with my friend and asked about our 7:30 reservation. I apologize as I may have taken a tone with the hostess. I knew she had her hands tied in trying to accommodate for my group. However, I felt that the entire time she spoke to me, she wanted to make sure that I knew she wasn’t the one culpable for losing my reservation to the point that she asked the time and date that I had phoned in to place blame on someone else. But, I guess she was just covering her ass. The best she could do was push our reservation time. Eventually, I relented and said we would take a 9PM reservation. We came all the way here for dinner, and everywhere else was booked on a Friday night.
I went in to speak to her that a friend of mine has work after dinner and if there was any way they could pre-​order her food in the kitchen. She has given us the paper menu for Winterlicious and said we were free to keep it. Things were looking up.
Upon our return for the 9PM reservation, we had taken the liberty of grabbing the same paper menus that were free for us to keep and read it. The hostess returned and yanked it out of my friend’s hand and said that the menus were already on our table. I think that’s a little confusing because she was telling us to keep it earlier. And from what I could tell, we were her last table before it was time for her to leave so she was free to look cross, and treat us as if we had inconvenienced her evening. We were placed in the back with two tables put together. Two oblong tables that were meant for 2 people… for 8.
That aside, the experience after that was OK. Although the fact that we had to wait and the hostess’ attitude did sour the mood.
A few of the group had the pumpkin soup. This is the soup that first arrived at the table for my friend with the rush request. Notice that there is no bread when the rest of the pumpkin soups came with rock solid french bread afterwards.
I got the Tuna Tartare. The bread on the left is the same one missing from the soup above. The tartare was good. It wasn’t the best I’ve had. Like previous comments — the bread was rock solid.
For your main, there were three choices. The Artisan Burger, which everyone loved. The sweet potato fries went really well with the chipotle mayo sauce. It was like having all dressed chips! I personally did not try the burger myself but from what I heard, it was delicious.
I’ve been to MoRoCo before for the High Tea and the Truffle Macaroni and Cheese was part of it. It was exactly as I remembered. Delicious. The bf said you couldn’t taste the cheese but I would have to disagree.
No one ordered the salmon.
Finally for dessert, I had the Adam & Eve which is an apple galette. This is not a galette. It’s apple pie filling in a tart shell with whipped cream. It was OK.
This is the one dessert I didn’t try. This is the Funfetti cake which is a red velvet cake with a macaron. They are known for their macarons so you can’t go wrong with that. It was the one with the best reviews among the table.
Finally, the get cherried away. I didn’t order this as 1) I don’t like cherries 2) I am kinda over cheesecake. But I have to say, it was pretty good. It was rich but not overly rich.
Would I recommend MoRoCo? Yes, with a caveat.
Either make your reservation online or call and double check. That’s just ridiculous. I still think they are pretty good in terms of afternoon tea/​high tea offerings. The servers are troopers while the hostesses (not just the one mentioned above) could use some attitude check.

Had the high tea set here at Moroco Chocolat.
Cute place and had a good time here but the food could be better!
We had the high tea set with macarons, scones and finger sandwiches assortments. I only liked one of the finger sandwiches.
The tea, on the other hand, was really good :)
We had fun picking which one we wanted — ended up picking the earl grey (safe choice!).
Service was excellent. Our waiter came back to check on us in good intervals.

My boyfriend and I trekked it out to MoRoCo Chocolat on a Saturday night to enjoy some desserts after dinner. We almost missed the shop because it’s a bit hidden from the street as it is in a corner of a building.
I definitely have to say that I really liked the décor of MoRoCo Chocolat. It looks and feels high end and pretty. Anyways, back to our visit. Service was average and a bit slow that I definitely know is not worth an 18.5% gratuity. It was a bit of a hassle to flag down the servers even though it was quite dead. That night we ordered the funfetti cake (red velvet cake was average) that was accompanied by a flat macaron (bad). I sipped on a frozen hot chocolate while my boyfriend had an americano.
We enjoyed having dessert there that night but I think the mandatory 18.5% gratuity was terrible. Why do we have to tip so high for slightly below average service?

The macarons here are not the best I’ve had in the city, but they offer much more than just macarons. They have great hot chocolates, cakes, savoury foods and an excellent selection of tea. If you’re feeling fancy, there’s also chocolate Fondue sets and you can roast marshmallows at the table! The atmosphere is luxurious, comfortable and cozy. Their tea sets are super elegant and pretty! It’s a great place to go to with girlfriends, bring your mom, or even as a date! It’s always fun to get some
Goodies to go too from the front shop.
