Opera composers have always had a deep appreciation for good food and treats. Among them, Mozart was particularly known for being a great lover of coffee and chocolate. The Viennese café culture flourished and was at its peak during Mozart’s time.
We bake the rich chocolate cake with coffee. The cake is soaked with our homemade coffee syrup, and a layer of hazelnut-chocolate spread is added in between. On top, we drizzle melted chocolate cream cheese. The chocolate cake is served with vanilla cream and fresh berries. The wild blueberries and raspberries are hand-picked from local forests, while the strawberries, garden raspberries, and garden blueberries are sourced from Hovimäki Farm in Enonkoski.
Price: 6€
Chocklate cake is lactose-free.
To complement the sparkling atmosphere of the opera and our recommended dishes, we suggest pairing it with the Finnish Niitty Juhlakuohu (2 dl, 0%). This refined, herbaceous alcohol-free semi-dry sparkling beverage is flavored with Finnish meadowsweet and fireweed flowers.
Price: 5€.
Available from June 2nd, 2025, to August 31st, 2025.
