Cafe Fleuri's Chocolate Bar at the Langham Hotel has long been a decadent dreamland of chocolate delights, but this year it's taking things to the next level for its 20th anniversary. Pastry chef Trena Costello showed off her skills in a preview tasting last week; Bostonist particularly enjoyed pretty much everything in cups: marshmallow cup, cappuccino cup, and especially the childhood-evoking peanut butter and (grape) jelly cup with sliced grapes on top. (Eating the grape allowed us to feel healthy as we chowed down on chocolate all evening.)

One of the better kept secrets in Boston is the Langham Hotel's Three Season Chocolate Bar at Café Fleuri. Bostonist wants to be clear. It's a bar that serves chocolate, not a bar of chocolate or a bar made out of chocolate. (What imaginations you have!) When the doors are closed for three months over the summer, it's not certain whether the chefs head for the Cape or if no one in Boston likes chocolate in the summer. The doors reopen for Café Fleuri after the lengthy hiatus this Saturday, and remain open every Saturday until Memorial Day. If you are wondering what you can expect from this devilish indulgence, prepare yourself for a 30-dessert buffet of all things chocolate; vegans, please, don't mention carob. The restaurant's website describes a "wondrous assortment of light and dark chocolate mousses, cakes, tortes, éclairs, crepes, ice cream, cookies, pies." If that sounds like a common candy store, be prepared for fondue stations that allow guests to create their own chocolate-themed lollipop. There is also chocolate croissant bread (a Langham signature item) as well as the oddly tempting hand-made chocolate "sushi." At $26/ person (kids under four are free), this could be an excuse to skip brunch and replace it with a delightfully sweet calorie-packed buffet lupper, or shall we say "bressert"? Breakfast and Dessert, anyone? Anyone?
