We all know that Ladureé is famous for its macarons, chocolates, and patisserie. But has anyone tried their fabulous hot cocoa? I think it's just the thing for a nippy winter's day like today. Here's wishing I was sitting at their cafe on Rue Bonaparte right now...

The photos are beautiful and I enjoy Kevin's comments. I was thinking that the caption "Hot Chocolate...at Laduree, Paris" illustrates the contrast between the simple and exotic nature of chocolate perfectly. This photo clearly isn't a Nestle commercial. Pouring a traditional winter staple like hot chocolate from an elegant silver server into a Limoges cup ringed with gold evokes a sense of warmth and elegance. And isn't that perfectly chocolate?
The best cup I've had was at a little cafe in Mougin. Was curious what they'd done differently. It was like drinking chocolate silk.
ummmm...just seeing the picture makes my mouth water. I agree with one of the other comments that the image evokes a certain warmth. However, I have to close my eyes when I drink mine and pretend that I'm at Laduree (not sure how to do the accent mark in this comment box) since I'm in the 65-degree weather of Texas, pouring the grainy cocoa mix from a paper package into tepid tap water while sitting in front of my computer in a rather cluttered cubicle. One can dream though!
Oh! If only we had it here in Manhattan.
Kevin,
Did you take that picture? That hot chocolate looks amazing!
No, I didn't. But this gives me a good excuse to go to Ladureé to take some pics!
