We like going to The Bar of Chocolate after a good meal at one of our favorite restaurants. Today, we had dinner at the East Ender and had a nice walk to The Bar of Chocolate on a beautiful evening in Portland.
The interior is dark and lit with small lights. Along one wall are long benches with high backs with tables and chairs. There are also pairs of high back leather chairs giving the space a very comfortable relaxed atmosphere. As you can tell from the name of the bar, they serve desserts, cocktails, and after dinner drinks. Of course, chocolate is a popular ingredient.
This evening we tried the chocolate torte with caramel and sea salt. It was very rich and dense and for true chocolate lovers only! I had to first show my Chocolate Lovers membership card to get a piece! (just kidding). We had a Limoncello cocktail with the torte which was a great combination. We also had the crème brulee paired with a port wine. Wasn't sure it would go well but it did. The brulee was a rich, creamy vanilla. Classic and satisfying. Perfect end to the evening.
The staff is very friendly and can make suggestions on how to best pair a dessert with a wine of cocktail. We highly recommend The Bar of Chocolate as a great way to start or end your evening.
