Craving hot chocolate?
Hot chocolate is, of course, the beverage that always serves as the best reward after a tough hour or two in colder weather. There are many restaurants and cafés in Åre that serve exceptionally good hot chocolate with your choice of toppings. Here we suggest a couple of places that put extra effort into this delightful drink, though you can certainly find a good cup in many locations.
Åre Chokladfabrik
In the chocolate heaven at Åre Chokladfabrik, handmade hot chocolate made from real chocolate is served over the counter in the Chocolate Bar. If you cannot get enough during your visit, buy their chocolate to take home so you can make your own and bring it in a thermos on your next outdoor excursion. It doesn't get any tastier than that!
Grädda
At Grädda’s bakery and café, they melt pieces of real chocolate and mix it with warm milk, then top it with a luxurious crown of whipped cream. And, to go with it, a crisp croissant, Grädda make the best ones in town. grädda.se
