The chocolate lover's guide to Melbourne
Taste your way through the city's best choc chip cookies, artisan chocolate shops and limited-edition Easter desserts.
Maison Bâtard's famous mousse
Decadent and befitting of Melbourne's most luxe new restaurant, Maison Bâtard's mousse au chocolat is a masterpiece. Soar up to the Parisian-inspired terrace to try this much-loved dessert. It comes with a big dollop of crème Chantilly and a shower of Belgian chocolate shards

Dubai chocolate strawberry cup at Rongcha
Local Thai dessert spot Rongcha is no stranger to a trending dessert. After breaking the internet with its torched smores hot choccie, Rongcha is bringing Dubai chocolate to Melbourne. A cup of fresh strawberries is layered with pistachio sauce, crispy knafeh and a drizzle of dark chocolate.
Melb's newest chocolate shop
For an indulgent chocolate fix, Godiva on Swanston Street delivers. Expect rich Belgian-style treats with a legacy dating back to 1926. The menu features decadent ice cream, velvety hot chocolates, and iconic chocolates crafted with European finesse. Don't miss the Belgian waffles, served warm and drizzled in chocolate.

Earl's cult-status choc chip cookie
Drop into Earl Canteen for major brownie (well, cookie) points. These giant, crumbly cookie masterpieces feature Callebaut chocolate. They're filled with walnut chunks and a generous sprinkling of sea salt. Equal parts crunchy, chewy and delicious, this cookie is an unmissable treat.
KOI Dessert Bar
Cake enthusiasts are in for a treat at KOI Dessert Bar. Indulge in tiny treats and pastries plus take-home cakes, all dipped, dusted and doused in chocolate. Think gluten-free brownie cake, stunning chocolate logs, Baileys-infused mousse and more. These showstoppers taste just as good as they look.

Koko Black's treats
Melburnians are spoiled for choice, with three different Koko Black locations in the city alone. Find them on Swanston Street, at the Vic Market or in the flagship Royal Arcade store. Do a delicious good deed and try a treat from the Critters Collection. It supports a number of Australian wildlife conservation organisations.
Mörk Chocolate Brew House
Visit Mörk for an artisan cup of ethically sourced hot chocolate. Campfire is the Insta star, recreating the nostalgic atmosphere of a childhood bonfire. It comes complete with house-made marshmallows. The chocolate makers are now also offering hot chocolate micro batches made in their chocolate factory around the corner.

Cheesecake on a stick
Don't knock it 'till you try it. Sticksies is a late-night dessert bar on Lygon Street serving cheesecake by the slice. On a stick, of course. Creamy slabs of cake-y goodness are dunked in melted chocolate, drenched in caramel sauce and garnished with cookie crumbs. Cocoa-loaded flavours include the Golden Gaytime and an Oreo profiterole sensation.
Yesign chocolate art workshops
Bring art and chocolate together at Yesign Chocolate Gallery's artisan chocolate workshops. At the painting classes, you use chocolate 'paint' on a solid chocolate ‘canvas’. You can also buy take home kits, homewares and edible chocolate depictions of Flinders Street Station. Find Yesign on Wharf St, District Docklands.
