Tucked away in the Royal Arcade is one of Melbourne’s hidden gems and undoubtedly the best venue in town for cacao (Chocolate) lovers. I believe you cannot go wrong whichever option you choose to go with and oh boy there are plenty of them that’s for sure.
A notable item on the menu and arguably one of the most popular is none other than the Signature Hot Chocolate a Must Try

Now onto the accessibility
The entrance to the venue is via the Royal Arcade and is flat with a portion of sitting outside on the arcade floor. Further seating is located inside the venue to the right of the entrance on the ground floor.
There is also further seating located upstairs but this section is only accessible by the internal staircase meaning that all accessible seating is located on the ground floor. With two out of the three sections accessible I don’t really see the fact that the upstairs portion not being accessible as an issue.
The venue itself does not have a bathroom so if you find you are needing to use one it will have to be one in the arcade itself.
Despite this, I say do yourself a favour and check it out for yourself. You will not be disappointed I promise you.
