Desserts & Gelato

The sweet course as a destination: gelato and ice cream, cakes and patisserie, chocolate, and the dessert bars where pudding is the whole point. Bread and the morning are next door, in Bakeries.

Knoops Covent Garden

Hot chocolate ordered by cocoa percentage, on the lane behind the Coliseum.

ChocolateOpen lateSomewhere to sit

Jens Knoop opened the first of these in Rye and built the whole thing on one idea: you pick the chocolate by percentage. The menu runs from a 28 per cent white through the milks into dark at 70, 80 and on to a 100 per cent with nothing added at all, and whichever you choose is melted to order into the milk you ask for. New Row is the pedestrian cut between St Martin's Lane and Garrick Street, which makes this the one to know before a show. There is a seating area downstairs.
