Bel Cafe
801 West Georgia Street (Rosewood Hotel Georgia) Beside Hawksworth Restaurant and across from the Art Gallery WEEKDAYS 6:30AM – 5:30PM WEEKENDS 7:00AM – 5:30PM
Bel Cafe is a truly amazing place to share a bite to eat for a morning snack. Even before or during the chaos of Boxing Day shopping, it's very convenient to just drop by for a few minutes to an hour. Polite servers and great tasting food made the experience a great one. They don't mind you sitting there for an hour or so chatting with your friends. In addition, the waiters come refill your water and clear your plates too!
The counter is a bit cramped probably due to the delicious choices you have, but the seating area is spacious. Sandwiches with special ingredients like confit tuna and house roast beef are among the cakes and macarons in the display case. Lunch starts at about 11am or 12pm, but it started when my friend and I left, so I have to go check it out next time!
Cookies and Cream Macaron $2 Each
I most certainly did try the macarons this time, and I bought a Cookies and Creme flavor one. My friend got the Lavender Milk Chocolate, Vanilla and London Fog flavor. They're two dollars each and around medium size.
The drinks were handmade with care very quickly and we got the great taste that we expected. My friend ordered a cup of London Fog, while I got a cup of Valhorna 70% Dark Hot Chocolate as promoted on VancityBuzz.
As soon as I read the article, I knew I had to try at least one of them; and what better time than an early
winter morning like Boxing Day. The hot chocolate is made with actual dark chocolate, so it's a little bitter before becoming sweet and creamy. It's taste is reminiscent of the Thomas Haas hot chocolate as it's quite rich and warming too.
Proudly serving TWG Tea. Thanks to Faith for introducing me to the wonders of London Fog.
