Chocobar Cortés

San Juan


A chocoholic's delight, this family-run company squeezes chocolate into – almost – every dish. Fancy a chocolate grilled cheese or churrasco with a chocolate chimichurri sauce? All are possible (and delicious) at the Chocobar, along with an array of more traditional choccie treats. Upstairs, the Fundación Cortés' small gallery champions local artists.
