Wikipedia describes Churros as...
A churro, sometimes referred to as a Spanish doughnut, is a fried-dough pastry—predominantly choux—based snack. Churros are popular in Spain, France, the Philippines, Portugal, Latin America (including Spanish-speaking Caribbean islands) and the United States. There are two types of churros in Spain, one which is thin (and sometimes knotted) and the other which is long and thick (porra). They are both normally eaten for breakfast dipped in hot chocolate or café con leche.

In our Adelaide slang, I would describe them as yummy, hot, cinnamon covered donut sticks.
Chocolate Tapiera serve these bad boys with a dipping sauce of either, berry, caramel or chocolate. ( my favourite is the caramel )
This awesome Spanish dessert hide away has much more than churros though, the extensive menu is filled with tapas , cake's,hot drinks and chocolate truffles.
I did have the pleasure to try the Oscuro Mousse which I would describe as:
A Heston looking inspired dish of dark chocolate mousse, strawberry coulis (sauce), crumbs of honeycomb mixed with pop rocks and "raspberry dust" ( some sort of freeze dried raspberries).
This dessert bar has a beautiful atmosphere with candle's and lamps, sheer curtains dividing the booth's and beautiful copper wall paper.
They have heater's and tables at the front of the restaurant to sit at while waiting to be seated inside.
Like other popular dessert bars (as usual) there is a long wait ahead of you outside before getting a seat. On popular nights you could be waiting up to an hour to be seated ( or in my case almost 2 hours ) This was a huge downside to this place and I believe they should just let you eat at the table you are sitting at outside ( because of my long 2 hour wait, they did give my table a 20% discount off the table to make up for it ).
They do however, do table bookings before 8pm so that you can avoid the long wait.
Now for the location, Chocolate Tapiera is located on Melbourne st just across from The lion Hotel.
The opening hours are:
| Mon - Sun: | 19:00 | - | 00:00 |
5/168 Melbourne Street, North Adelaide, 5006
