Refuge des Sens

I chanced upon this cafe while taking a short walk before dinner as it was opposite my hotel, but the smell of warm chocolate enticed me to wander in for a drink or dessert. Best decision ever. I ordered the hot chocolate with topped Chantilly cream and a scoop of ice cream choice between vanilla, chocolate or coffee) €6) and it was the best hot chocolate I had ever had. The hot chocolate itself is thick and rich definitely from good quality melted chocolate not the powdered stuff) with a subtle bitter finish, and the Chantilly cream added body while the sweetness from the chocolate ice cream I got evened out any bitterness from the hot chocolate. This was truly decadent, but definitely a drink I would re order were I back in Cauterets again.

A wonderful little shop and cafe, with the best hot chocolate ever. Went for the chocolate tart too, as we were cold and wet after hiking for two hours in the rain! Had to wait a few minutes for a table, but it was well worth the wait!

What more do I need to say? Tea is fabulous and the chocolate is amazing. Tiny shop with seating for maybe 12 but did not disappoint - just what you need after a long day in the hills.
