We were invited to an intimate dining experience at MoRoCo Chocolat for an evening of indulgence. Walking in, the décor is chic. If you’re unfamiliar with MoRoCo Chocolat, located in the heart of Yorkville, imagine stepping into an Alice in Wonderland world, filled with Victorian-styled chairs, dark velvet curtains, vintage teapots, silver deer and gnomes.
