Choco Bar captures the essence of casual dining with a menu that offers a range of delectable treats. While the intimate space is perfectly designed for relaxing, their dishes take center stage. Guests rave about the bruschetta, praised by Art Pratt, who describes it as an excellent choice for a light lunch. And if you crave something refreshing, do not miss out on Tim Flak's recommendation of the amazing salad, paired with a nice wine for only 12€. As Flak mentions, their Cafe gourmand is a standout too, featuring a sampler of nougats, chocolates, and candies that ignite your sweet tooth with a beautiful view to match!

The atmosphere of Choco Bar is just as enticing as its food. Step inside, and you'll be enveloped in a charming decor that complements the beautiful Seine countryside outside.

How thoughtful!

From the moment you walk in, you'll find that the cafe is a hidden gem. Chuck Stephens perfectly encapsulates the spirit of Choco Bar by sharing that, despite a seemingly quirky flair from the proprietor, the focus is firmly on ensuring a joyful dining experience. Their fresh gazpacho and generous salads are ideal if you're looking to escape heavier regional fare and indulge in something vibrant and flavorful.

As you enjoy your meal, the panoramic views of the surrounding landscape draw you in, enhancing the whole experience. It's this combination of atmosphere, personality, and culinary delight that makes Choco Bar more than just a place to grab a bite; it's a destination that many fall in love with, as mentioned by Housesit Match who declared it ‘highly recommended’ and promised to return for more memorable moments.

Service was very nice but waffles were overpriced and not very good. Restaurant was cute inside.

Amazing salad with wine for 12€. Try the Cafe gourmand and it comes with a sample of several noughats, chocolates and candies. Beautiful view and lovely, friendly owners. Not to be missed in Minerve!

Honestly one of the most hospitable and genuine restaurateurs I have encountered (an absolute legend as we would say in NZ!) and this also extended to the other staff too. Such a lovely atmosphere, view and great lunch. The salads are super and also v good value for price. Thanks for being so trusting with the payment and bank transfer, I had every faith . A simple lunch that will be a lasting memory in a beautiful setting

Hidden gem! The fun personality of the proprietor may seem odd at first after other places in the region, but do not be deterred. He is personable and wants you to enjoy yourself. After much heavy food of the region, this is an oasis of freshness. The gazpacho and salad were generous, fresh, and tasty. Just right and not over done. I am still curious about the tasty tomato vinaigrette. Lastly the gentle jazz and classic song book music playing will sooth a tired traveler. If the beautiful city of Minerve does not sway you, let this oasis be what tempts you into visiting.
