Cebu, Philippines, 3 August 2022 -This July, the Lobby Lounge of the Marco Polo Plaza Cebu presents a gastronomic dream for chocolate lovers. Dubbed Tout Chocolat, the mid-afternoon buffet is chocolate heaven: Hors d'oeuvres, pastries, cakes and desserts all feature an element of chocolate. From subtle to savoury, fruity and deep chocolate flavours, the all-chocolate affair is a gourmet treat for those looking for a new dining experience.

A key feature of Tout Chocolat are dishes created from the high quality cacao tablea of internationally acclaimed The Chocolate Chamber. Founded in Cebu, TCC is an artisanal chocolate company devoted to raising the level of locally-produced cacao beans to global standards. If you are lucky, you might get a glimpse of the Chocolate Queen herself, Raquel T. Choa and catch a quick educational discourse on the history and art of making chocolate.

"Chocolate is unique to any food in the world. Beneficial as it is indulgent, chocolate is said to possess mood-enhancing qualities that reduce stress and trigger feelings of pleasure, happiness and comfort", shares Marco Polo's Executive Chef Juanito Abangan. "With Tout Chocolate we are excited to present you the delightful magical qualities of chocolate to enjoy with family and friends".

Priced at Php 595 per person, Tout Chocolat mid-afternoon buffet starts from 3pm to 6pm on July 7 and July 9, and every Saturday in July thereafter. Prices already include taxes and service charge.
