You don\u2019t have to have a sweet tooth in order to save room for dessert.\u00a0At the end of certain meals at certain restaurants, that sweet, final parting note is basically a non-negotiable.<\/p>\n
And so, we present 11 \u00e0 la carte dessert programs (plus 36 bonus desserts, just because) that are so good, you could (and should) visit these restaurants just for the sweet stuff. Truly. But if you don\u2019t, just remember: Plan to save plenty of room for dessert.<\/p>\n
Note: For this guide, we\u2019ve focused on restaurants with \u00e0 la carte menus with at least three (if not more) dessert offerings. As such, places that have been excluded from this list include dessert shops (sorry, Lys\u00e9e!<\/a>), tasting menu spots (sincere apologies to Dirt Candy<\/a>), and restaurants that also serve as daytime caf\u00e9s with pastry cases full of phenomenal baked goods (ahem, Salty Lunch Lady\u2019s Little Luncheonette<\/a>). We promise, we still very much love what you do.
