Chocolatería Explanada
★ 3.9 · 17 reviews Piriápolis Opened 2 May 2026
Hot chocolate on the corner of Salta and Piria
The menu here is short on purpose: a few versions of hot chocolate, fresh fruit, cake, coffee. Seating is limited, so booking ahead is worth it.
Six weeks after opening, the corner hosted its first bonfire for Noche de San Juan, free entry, six in the evening to midnight. That's a spot that's already found its place on the neighborhood calendar.

Theit attention to detail in this wonderful place is almost as great as their churros. While waiting just a short time for the churros I learned that she created all of the decorations herself and or curated them... You can tell this place is filled with love

A very welcoming place, beautifully decorated, especially because it's so different from everything else in the area. It's a new business, run by its owner who brings a wonderful energy and clearly cares about providing excellent service. The menu pleasantly surprised me. I was expecting to sit down for churros and hot chocolate, but it turns out they have chocolate options from different parts of the world. The presentation is very elegant, and the size is just right for the price. I thought the price was reasonable. I do recommend checking table availability during peak season. They even have a more private room option for a more intimate gathering. While I saw some less-than-positive reviews, I think you shouldn't let them influence you and should experience it for yourself, as I believe those comments are based more on personal tastes than an objective assessment of the menu.

I give 5 stars for the service and attention. It's a small place, but we felt very comfortable and well taken care of. I liked that there were games on the table, which we took advantage of to have a fun and different family time. Thank you, we'll definitely be back!

A truly divine place! Piriápolis desperately needed it, perfect for all ages. If you love taking photos, they have a ring light to make them look amazing! A beautiful hall with karaoke, delicious Spanish-style treats, and top-notch service! And I can't even begin to describe the chocolate experience—they have three different kinds besides the traditional one! Each one is more delicious than the last; I tried a tasting of them all!
