“Nine out of ten people love chocolate, and the 10th person is always lying.” For all the serious chocolate lovers out there, it’s time we introduced you to five incredibly satisfying desserts in Dubai. Get ready to drool…
1. Fondant au chocolat @ Shakespeare and Co.
Reason to drool: The fondant au chocolat at Shakespeare and Co. is like the ultimate sugar rush. Served warm to your table with a cool side of vanilla ice cream, this bad boy knows how to whet your tastebuds. Want to try it for free? Come down on your birthday and it’s yours on the house — all you’ve got to do is download the SAC Rewards app for iOS or Android. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal…
Where to find it: Shakespeare and Co. branches across UAE
2. La Paleta @ Waka Dubai
Reason to drool: Peruvian restaurant Waka Dubai serves up some pretty unique desserts in Dubai — but our heart belongs to La Paleta, a chocolate mousse creation with a crunchy hazelnut coating, topped with double chocolate chip cookie and raspberry meringues. In our opinion, it’s basically the reason why cheat days exist.
Where to find it: Waka, The Oberoi Hotel, Business Bay
3. Chocolate Palace @ That Place
Reason to drool: The ‘Chocolate Palace’ served up at confectionary café That Place will probably inspire taste-o-vision in the near future. Everything about this Karama café feels homestyle… especially the desserts. You’ll get layers of chocolate brownies alongside a fondant packed with tasty filling — it’s addictive.
Where to find it: Al Karama, 2B Street, behind Park Regis Hotel
4. Foggy Mountain @ Huqqa
Reason to drool: If you’re all about doing it for the gram, the Foggy Mountain dessert is made to be a star attraction. Served up at Turkish resto Huqqa, a chocolate sphere will arrive at your table atop a cloud of deliciousness — and it’s flawless, from presentation to quality.
Where to find it: Huqqa, The Dubai Mall [Level 3, Fashion Avenue]
5. Chocolate brownie @ Ostro
Reason to drool: The chocolate brownie at Ostro is one of the best we’ve had in Dubai — and we’re proud dessert junkies. We’re not sure if it’s the soft texture or the richness of the flavor that makes it stand out, but you’ll understand once you’ve had a first bite. Yummmm…
Where to find it: Ostro, Barsha Heights
