It was a cloudy day with not much sunshine and I was heading up to RMIT Bundoora to help out with a bbq. So to break up the one hour tram journey I decided to get off at the corner of Gertrude and Smith sts Collingwood and went to Monsieur Truffe. I took the 86 tram from Bourke st in the city to Monsieur Truffe and to RMIT Bundoora.
Monsieur Truffe is a chocolate shop and cafe. It was recommended by the Age and Urbanspoon.com. Just like Max Brenner in the city it specialises in chocolate. But this is a much better version of it. I got to try some samples of chocolate truffles and I really liked the flavour of the raspberry, grand meriner and lime truffles. Next time when I'm here I should buy them.

Miss Adriennely also inspired me to go there. I was going to try out some of the homemade ice cream as recommended in other blogs but was still full from breakfast.
So instead I ordered a hot chocolate and a macaroon ($7.30 altogether).
The macaroon ($2.50 each) was a bit small, but was well crafted. The guy there told me that it was handmade. I think they could have made it a bit bigger for that price.
The hot chocolate was small and decadent. It was presented in a small cup. The chocolate was not too sweet, but it may be a bit bitter for some of those who have sweet tooths.
The guy here was lovely, but the lady that served me wasn't as nice as the guy was. I think that she might be having a bad day.
