Argentine Sweets, Ice Cream and Chocolates Taste Test at Cafes and Shops in Bariloche, Argentina

Join us for an Argentine sweets and Argentinian Chocolates taste test in Bariloche, Argentina as we visit numerous interesting cafes, chocolate shop and museums. We had some fans meet us on the streets as we entered Bariloche from the outskirts.

We kick things off with a visit to Mamuschka where you can get different kinds of chocolates to go or sit down in a cafe to enjoy them served with a hot drink. We ended up ordering tea and hot chocolate. The goodies arrived at the table with a sampler platter of four different pastries each which gave us eight things to try. So the hot chocolate was the real deal - thick, rich, chocolate like melting a chocolate bar in the cup. Audrey ordered the Assam tea from India to help cut the sugar. I tried a pastry filled with custard that reminded me a Boston cream. I tried something that looked like a mini alfajor which had dulce de leche at the bottom. It is probably good we don't live in Bariloche given how tasty all of this was. I tried a cheesecake bite which was delicious. Everything tasted delicious. Audrey tried the hot chocolate and it reminded her of hot chocolate in Madrid. Like a meal in a bowl in terms of calories. We paid $8.50 USD for the drinks and food.

We then headed to Rapa Nui ice cream shop to try ice cream. I ordered chocolate and hazelnuts and dulce de leche with goat's milk. Audrey ordered forest fruits raspberry with chocolate and meringue along with Patagonia berries. Very tart. The dulce de leche was my favorite. You can also buy chocolates and go skating around a rink. It came to $4 USD or $2 each. This was the smallest size available. We then went into the Rapa Nui cafe to try franui. Fra-nui. Raspberries covered in white chocolate and milk chocolate. They're famous! We also tried tea. I got the Pakistan tea with cinnamon, cardamon and ginger. It was powerful and zesty. Audrey ordered the Belgian nugget along with almonds and hazelnuts. So you can see a plump raspberry in the middle. So that was $6 USD for cups of tea and chocolate raspberries.

Next we moved on to the Havanna Cafe (Fabrica de Chocolate). We visited the museum of chocolate. A factory, cafe and museum. We had more hot chocolate which was even thicker. Basically chocolate mud. We saw these animals made entirely out of chocolate weighing 70 to 80 to 90 kilograms. We then toured the museum to the shop and we got a discount based on the admission costs. We bought chocolate trufas. Basically chocolate truffles with various ingredients. We grabbed a cup of coffee to get a second wind. We ended up buy gifts for our friend in El Bolson.
