Fifth Floor Cafe

Having opted to stay in London this weekend I'm thinking a nice long, indulgent lunch somewhere light and airy to make the most of the Easter bank holiday vibe.
The most tempting option so far is to sample the new chocolate menu at Harvey Nic's Fifth Floor Cafe. Not that I consider myself a chocoholic but having watched that nutter on Willie's Wonky Chocolate Factory on TV putting 100% cocoa in everything from gazpacho to a baste for roast partridge, my interest to try something a bit different has been piqued.
The menu at the cafe includes rump of venison with creamed Savoy cabbage and chocolate infused sauce or roast cod with mixed bean salad and chocolate oil followed by a more sensible-sounding chocolate creme brulee and chased with a white chocolate martini so the downside is you won't have any room for Easter eggs.
You can always pop into the food hall and pick up some hot cross buns instead, we don't want you fading away.
