Where to find London’s most indulgent chocolate mousse (because dessert is always a good idea)
2 months ago

Craving something rich, velvety and utterly decadent? From classic French recipes to inventive modern twists, these are London’s best chocolate mousses – one spoonful at a time.
Few desserts capture the art of indulgence quite like chocolate mousse. Whether it’s the pillowy lightness of a classic French recipe or a modern take with bold flavour pairings, the perfect mousse strikes that elusive balance between airy and rich. Happily, London’s dessert scene is serving up spoonfuls of chocolately goodness in every corner of the city – if you know where to look.
Chocolate mousse roulade at Cafe Deco
A firm favourite on the menu at Cafe Deco, featuring layers of delicate mousse and cream wrapped in a rich chocolate sponge. This dessert is simple, timeless and delicious.
Mousse au chocolat at Josephine Bouchon
Not for the fainthearted, Josephine Bouchon’s mousse au chocolat is inspired by Lyonnaise cuisine and topped with crisp curls of chocolate to provide textural contrast to the velvety mousse. Be warned, this decadent dessert is designed to share.
Chocolate cremosa with amarena cherries and crème fraîche at Toklas
This chocolatey deliciousness at Toklas is a favourite of head chef Chris Shaw. The richness of the chocolate is balanced against the tartness of the cherries and the delicate sourness of the crème fraîche.
Chocolate mousse, hazelnut, olive oil and salt at Carousel Wine Bar
On the menu since day one, Carousel Wine Bar’s chocolate mousse combines rich Islands Chocolate from St Vincent in the Caribbean with sweet hazelnuts, while the addition of the olive oil creates a smooth textured mousse and the salt enhances the chocolatey tones.
Tanzanian 70% chocolate mousse at Bar Valette
At the new restaurant from Isaac McHale, a long search for the ideal chocolate to create the perfect chocolate mousse has resulted in this rich and fruity chocolate mousse paired with a thin veil of sweetened whipping cream.
Jacquemousse at Jacuzzi
This creamy, light and indulgent chocolate mousse is served tableside and topped with a coffee praline for texture.
