Romance on a budget

Say it with chocolate

Some say it with roses, but an effective entree to many a lover’s heart is chocolate. Indulge in the food of the gods with brunch at The Chocolate Bar, in The Langham Hotel’s Café Fleuri. Served Saturdays through June, the chocoholic’s dream come true offers more than 125 choices, from chocolate soup to chocolate-covered nuts. This year’s ‘‘Air, Fire, Water & Earth’’ theme is a sensual experience, with the intoxicating aroma of chocolate perfuming the air and shades of brown, from inky dark to creamy milk, coloring the buffet tables. Arrive hungry and pace yourself. Sample the familiar, such as chocolate chip cookies and chocolate fondue, and the more unique, chocolate spring rolls, chocolate fried risotto balls, even chocolate goat cheese sandwiches. In between, sip on what might be the world’s best hot chocolate, or give a nod to health with a glass of merlot. If you must, bring a rose.

The Langham Hotel, 250 Franklin St., 617-451-1900, boston.langhamhotels.com; Saturdays, noon to 3 through June; adults $35, children ages 5-12 $17.50; reservations recommended.
