Roba: Galler is a Belgian chocolate “boutique”, with a freakishly elaborate menu of cocoa-related items, ranging from a history lesson with cocoa inspired from different centuries, to chocolate seaweed and cocoa soup. This diversity is very fascinating, especially as I love trying out eccentric things and different tastes.
Yet, their chocolate aside, Galler got such high ratings from us not for their gourmet chocolate and creative diversity, but for the little cafe upstairs, which is as endearing as it gets. I definitely think that it is the most comfortable place in Amman to have a good cup of coffee and enjoy a good book. It’s happy orange couches, cozy parquet floors and relaxing music make it wonderfully suitable for little dates and perfect for a spot to read. Add to that, they have an incredibly fast and free internet connection, which makes it even the more appealing for a geek such as myself.
The chocolate itself is excellent for those who appreciate the taste, texture, and aroma of real chocolate, but it is rather expensive. The cafe itself, on the other hand, costs pretty much the same as similar cafes like Mirabelle and Chez Hilda.
I would recommend you try the cocoa soup, just because of the surprise factor. I personally loved it, although I can see why some wouldn’t.

Moose: One of the most annoying trends associated with the cancerous spread of modern-day consumerism is overpriced “stuff”. Maybe someone who is into hip fashion and luxurious comfort would invest in a $300 pair of loafers, but no sane human being should consider buying any kind of footwear which cost more than a small car no matter how many ostriches were sacrificed to make it. No two bites of food should cost 7 JDs, even if it contained tiny bits of mercury-laden sea
creatures and no “substance” should cost $35 per pound unless it had potent mind-altering capabilities.
As for Galler, I have to admit that when it comes to kids’ junk food I am more of a potato-chips kind of person  than a chocolate or candy person, but I heard from chocolate connoisseurs around the globe that it is pretty good.
As for the café upstairs it is a perfect spot for a first date that would display your awareness of Amman’s latest trendy spots, your sophisticated appreciation of classical music and laid back atmosphere and your  admiration of fine chocolate – which also happens to be an aphrodisiacs.
