The Elisabeth's Chef dessert bar and restaurant, hidden amongst the hustle and bustle of Kingsland, is nothing short of inviting. The inside is cozy and warm, creating the perfect setting for the hot chocolate of your dreams.

Ski season is here, and so is the desire for a hot chocolate once coming off the snowy mountains. The infamous Patagonia Chocolate shops are located on the streets of both Queenstown and Arrowtown. We will be surprised if you haven't heard anyone rave about their decadent hot chocolate. Made with real melted chocolate, Patagonia sure knows how to draw the crowds on a cold day, with one of their hot chocolates even having chilli in it. This place is for the most serious of hot choccy conisseours.
