Dansing Chocola is one of those places that seems to have come out of a book. You just know this place has stories to tell. You feel different as soon as you see its entrance. Leaves hang from the tree right above the door, and it looks like you’re entering into a majestic dimension.
The feeling is intensified once you're inside thanks to the retro decor, antiques, books and other curiosities. The food is stoically good, with very reasonable prices. You should definitely try the hamburgers, but they also have soups and salads to keep it healthy.
This fairytale encounter is humble, welcoming yet full of character and it is best enjoyed by red wine lovers. Ok, that is obviously very subjective, because there’s plenty for the beer bellies too.
I usually come here on Sundays, with a friend or a book. The ambiance is always very warm. In the summer the terrace is full of chatter and laughter. The corner of Dansing Chocola can make you feel like you're in Spain or some other southern country. It is fittingly located in a very artistic street with lots of vintage shops and art galleries and allows you to go for a complete themed outing on an easy afternoon.
