Lizzie’s has now been replaced by Big Coffee and Food on Unley Road. There has been a significant change in décor with a lime green theme, a kid’s corner and a some original artwork. The menu has changed as well. Merkel and Myrtle visited for lunch. This is still a nice location for meal despite the venue change hands a couple of times over the last few years. The service was attentive and friendly.
To Merkel’s delight there was a Belgian hot chocolate on the drinks menu. This cost $4.30 for a good sized stylish cup. This was topped with a light froth. The taste was sweet but had an excellent Belgian chocolate flavour.
This is a blog about drinking chocolate and follows the life of Merkel Marmaduke through the cafes of Adelaide, SA and elsewhere, while he searches for the ultimate hot chocolate. Check this blog out for hot chocolate reviews, hot chocolate news and a whole lot of nonsense about finding a good hot chocolate. This blog can be accessed from the ChocAdelaide Android app.

Howard Winery
I recently went a tour of the Adelaide hills with some friends from the UK. We visited a number of wineries and the Melba chocolate factory but the venue of most interest for hot chocolate lovers was the Howard Vineyard. We had a pleasant lunch overlooking the lawns and the grape vines, consisting of platters of various dips and nibbles.
The hot chocolate was served in a glass mug and saucer. It was rich and dark and was topped with a white froth and sprinkle of chocolate powder. The cost was four dollars.
