I was walking past this place last weekend and my partner and I decided to walk in and try them. Despite being only open a few weeks the massage was excellent, as good as those I have received at my physio (who is amazing !). The masseur asked what level of intensity I preferred and when I asked for hard massage I received a deep tissue massage unlike many other places which advertise deep tissue but don't deliver ! The atmosphere is very relaxing with nice soft music, candles and indirect lighting.
We got a pleasant surprise after the massage as we were only charged $55 for the hour which easily makes it the best value for massage we have ever received. I understand it is only an opening special so get down there and grab a great massage at a fantastic price before this places gets discovered and you can't get a booking !

Approximate cost: $55

The decor is cosy, romantic and very European / Viennese. The staff friendly and the coffee...MAGIC. I had a ristretto (not many places even know what that is) followed up by a latte. The presentation was superb with a little glass of water accompanying the ristretto on a small tray. The temperature of the latte was perfect and the espresso mixed well with the milk.
Oh the real reason for my visit....my partners craving for chocolate. Boy do they have chocolate...over 35 varieties of imported Belgian chocolate in vibrant colours and shapes. So different to boring offerings of the local chain stores. A unique boutique chocolaterie with an excellent product offering and very friendly staff. The bald guy should have his own stage show !

Approximate cost: $5
