Browse the boutique. Stay for a sociable lunch. Stroll to Bar Boucan for a cocoa-enhanced cocktail or two. And then sit down to dinner.

You could spend the whole day at Roast+Conch by Hotel Chocolat exploring the amazingly creative use of cocoa. Roast+Conch offers a fresh and contemporary Anglo-West Indian menu enriched by the unique, savoury spice of roasted cocoa, and inspired by Hotel Chocolat’s hugely successful Boucan restaurant in Saint Lucia.

The menu is not about chocolate but pure cocoa as a garnish, infusion and subtle seasoning. But there’s amazing chocolate too, freshly made from beans roasted and conched by chocolatiers in the restaurant.

Our second trip to the restaurant & the food was as delicious as last time. The mains are quirky but very good & the desserts are mouth wateringly amaxing & you don't want them to end. I can't understand why it isn't more popular as there never seems to be many others there despite going on different evenings.

I took my mum for her birthday lunch and we had a great time. The staff were lovely and really made a fuss of my mum when I told them it was her birthday. The food was superb, it was presented beautifully and tasted just as good. I can't wait to go back.

We enjoyed our position in the restaurant, sat by the window. Our waitress was lovely. She was very helpful with suggestions from the menu. We loved the great choice of rums. The food was tasty and different. I thought the prices are above the norm, but was prepared to pay this as was for a special occasion.

I cannot fault the quality or taste of the food. The portion sizes are extremely small and I was still hungry after eating. The prices are high for the portion size.

Waitress was lovely and pleased to see several vegan choices on the menu. Was disappointed though when both main courses came minus an element - chips with the burger and kofta with the curry. (Manager did come over and explain that kofta wasn't vegan despite it saying menu that dish was veggie and dairy free and offered an alternative but partner's meal was then ready so didn't want to hold up the meal so declined.) Both meals really tasty and obviously freshly prepared. However menus both a bit unclean - smear of chocolate (I hope) on front of drinks menu. Overall quite underwhelmed with the experience.

The welcoming was good. Food took a while to be on the table especially that it was a quiet evening, it tasted okay, but portions were tiny. I had seabass with spinach and chocolate fondant and was still hungry not greedy. Overall not bad, not great, with a rather average customer service due to repeated mistakes on the bill.

The food was very well cooked, full of flavours and the presentation was fantastic. However the service was dissapoiting. They forgot our wine order so we had to remind them after we got our starters. They also mixed up the starter sauces and gave my boyfriend chocolate sauce to go with his Yorkshire pudding and beef (instead of red wine jus). It didn't go well and sadly he realised that too late. They also mixed up our sides and we had to wait several minutes with the main meals going cold for them to bring the right ones. Our booking was on sat evening and there were only 4-5 tables there the whole time so they were not busy. You just expect a better service and less mistakes when you pay >£100 for two people dinner+drinks.
