On this very trip to Melbourne, I must say Mörk was one of the great surprises we found. Revolving around a chocolate theme, this place offers an array of cacao drinks. The characteristic menu takes on inspirations from Australia's natural landscape, and turns that into a theatrical and a culinary experience - the whole thing is destined to impress. For chocolate lovers this is as good as chocolate gets.
Mörk has managed the impossible: it has created a sweet, enjoyable concoction that captures Australia, in one small bowl. Using a familiar smell, the perfume of oak moss immediately sets you in the outback bush. This aromatic sensation of being in Australia is reinforced by the sight and taste of eucalyptus. The hot chocolate blends well with the ice cream, which had a subtle macadamia and wattle seed flavour, keeping the focus on the chocolate.
There is something about smoke and burnt marshmallow - a typical treat to be had around a campfire. Again Mörk engages all your senses, with the clever use of maple smoke and charcoal salt, taking a simple idea and executing it to perfection. The individual elements showcase extreme attention to detail while complementing the chocolate.
As well as a la carte, Mörk also sells a range of chocolate related products off the shelf.
What a fun and memorable impression Mörk has left us, something we'll miss until our next visit!

It was hard to believe there was no milk in this. The dark chocolate made with hazelnut milk was smooth and creamy, highlighting a unique hazelnut aroma. It's no secret hazelnut and chocolate are best friends, but just how well they went together without anything else was an impressive feat.
