Chocolat Royal revolutionalised the face of cafe culture here. Although similar venues have since opened, none has managed to show as much flair or authencity. Once through the glass doors, you are enveloped by the sweet smell of freshly baked goods, with a choice unrivalled in Lagos: soft, all-butter croissants; moist chocolate fudge brownies; home made chocolate truffles and smooth chocolate eclairs.
There are creamy milkshakes(chocolate the most popular), fresh fruit juices(try the pineapple), pizzas, burgers and sandwiches. The ice cream bar offer 18 flavours-stracciatella has real chunks of chocolate and the mango sorbet is tropical and refreshing. These are best enjoyed on the sun splashed terrace, filled with families at weekends.
