Today I got to experience pure chocolate nirvana aka the Chocolate Buffet at the Langham Hotel in Boston. The Langham seems like your standard nice city hotel and at first glance the Cafe Fleure seems like your standard nice hotel nice restaurant seating area. Our waiter came to inquire as to whether we wanted coffee, tea, or a chocolate martini, wine, or a mimosa. I would've loved any of the latter, but settled for hot tea (I did opt for full caffeine though...I'm wild and crazy like that).
From your table you get up and enter another smaller room (but still quite a large room) that has low lighting and a DJ! Oh, and tables upon tables of chocolate as far as the eye can see. There was someone making cotton candy, crepes, truffles, a chocolate fountain, chocolate bread pudding, chocolate creme brulee, tons of different chocolate mouses in the cutest tiny cups, a chocolate/bacon tart, and anything else you could imagine. It was decedent and delicious and like being in Willy Wonkas for the rich and fabulous.
I overheard one of the staff saying that this has been ongoing every Saturday for 22 years and is sold out every weekend. Knowing what we paid for our buffet I can only imagine how much money the hotel makes off this little slice of chocolate heaven. But knowing that this isn't something I may ever do again it was definitely worth the cost.
I may have gained 12 lbs today and developed diabetes, but it was sooooo worth it!
