A curated selection of world-class desserts, made with real chocolate and seasonal flavours.
Desserts made to order
Made to order and served in store only. Dhi adds new desserts through the year, so some stay for a month and others stay until something better comes along.
Dessert evening, the last Friday of every month
On the last Friday of each month, from 6pm to 9pm, Dhi puts on a menu of new plated desserts made for that one evening. A few of them earn a place on the regular evening menu afterwards, while the rest are gone by the end of the night.
You don't need to book or buy a ticket, so come in any time between six and nine, find a table and order from the night's menu, and if you're bringing a group of six or more, the earlier part of the evening makes it easier to seat everyone together.

Do you serve alcohol?
No. Coffee, Zealong tea, hot chocolate and dessert thickshakes are on until close.
Can you cater for allergies?
Many of our desserts are made with no added gluten and we mark them, but our kitchen is small and shared, so we can't cater for coeliac disease or serious allergies. Nothing on the dessert menu is vegan.
