French Broad Chocolate Lounge
Posted by eemilla on February 15, 2009
French Broad Chocolate Lounge is one of the best reasons to eat downtown. They have a variety of truffles and desserts, including a few non-chocolate selections; I love the single origin collection, but my favorites are the cafe au lait, French lavender, Kentucky bourbon, and hazelnut. Being in Asheville, there is even an entire vegan collection. They also serve beer and wine, and the lounge has large marble topped tables with overstuffed chairs for savoring your selection of truffles. The hours are great for after dinner rendezvous or a relaxing indulgent afternoon; sometimes there is live music to help with the ambiance. With their convenient location on South Lexington behind Pack Square, there is no reason not to end your downtown experience there.
