Eat With Your Eyes: DÉCLINAISON BANANE and CHOCOLAT

Is your mouth watering?  You can find this DÉCLINAISON BANANE and CHOCOLAT at Ici Urban Bistro for $9.  I was recently blown away by Chef Vincent Bitauld's dessert menu.  (More about our full dining experience coming soon).  You can't go wrong with banana mousse topped with chocolate crumble and chocolate ice cream.  I'm especially craving it now since I gave up sweets for lent. Stop in and give it a taste.

 

Do you have a food photo that would make others drool?  If so, email me at capitalcooking@gmail.com and we can include it in Eat with your Eyes.
