Whether you’re scouting for a classic mix of just milk and melted chocolate or being cheeky by enjoying it served with a lava-like tower of marshmallows, these hot chocolates are just darn delicious.

Salvation Cafe (Milpark)

Salvation Café’s homemade Belgian hot chocolate (R47) is a must have. It is made with Callebaut chocolate and topped with cream. If this doesn’t scream pure indulgence, we’re not certain what does.

Paul (Melrose Arch, Nicolway, Morningside, Polofields, Neighbourhood)

An international French patisserie franchise worth visiting, Paul purely focuses on creating and serving fresh, beautiful french cuisine, but they definitely don’t skimp on their drinks offering either. Warm up this winter with their Café Marocchino (R45) made with an espresso shot, Paul hot chocolate, frothed milk and cocoa powder.

Chocoloza has strong Belgian roots with an African twist. Owner Vicky Bain offers Belgian hot chocolate (R35), as well as other sugar-free alternatives if you’re trying to eat less sugar.
