First and foremost a Chocolate Maker, the cousins growing up in a family of Bakers and Pastry Chefs, it is with a focus on freshness that Mendel's crafts Truffles featuring everything from Caramel to Fruit and Tahini while quality Beans are used to make Coffee far better than other spots nearby. Using Callebaut and clearly fancying Belgium Mendel's menu continues with everything from skillet Brownies to Macarons, but for those seeking signatures the triple-tiered Cream Puff and ice-cold "Pull Me Lotus" featuring Biscoff and Layer Cake are pretty tough to beat.

I had to order the massive chocolate piñata but do have to say we needed at least another person with us to share the sweets. But they did give us a takeaway box for the leftover chocolate.

As the name says, if you love chocolate, you'll love this place. A friend who is originally from…read moreIstanbul recommended it to me. Otherwise we would have never found it. It's tiny and located in a small alley. She said they make the best chocolate cake, so I tried that. While my boyfriend went for the chocolate soufflé. The chocolate cake was fantastic, and definitely the richest chocolate cake I ever had. It not only had rich and moist layers of chocolate sponge, but also chocolate mousse type layers. It was covered with chocolate icing and on top came with warm chocolate sauce and white chocolate drops. Surprisingly, it wasn't too sweet, but I felt it could have done with something tangy to cut through all the chocolate. For example a raspberry coulis rather than the chocolate sauce. Anyways it was delicious. But actually I thought the chocolate soufflé was even better. It was made with bitter chocolate and was rich and not too sweet. It was definitely the best chocolate soufflé I have ever tasted. Besides the fab chocolate, the place itself is tiny but makes you feel at home. The 5 (or at the most 6) tables are upstairs and air-conditioned. The service was good too and they were very patient with us (the menu was only in Turkish) trying to figure out what they had on the menu and what to order.
