  • A very delicious experience not to be missed and incredibly addictive if you live here. Such a selection of the most exotic middle eastern treats mmmmmmmmm, the choice is too hard, so they will give you a selection.

    From innovative and ancient Persian recipes, the Iranian family business are quality orientated and use the best of ingredients such as butter from Australia!

    Vivel Patisserie has 5 coffee shops in the UAE, also in Canada and US. In Dubai, there is a relaxing courtyard shop on Jumeriah Beach road opposite Jumeriah Beach park, one in Deira and also in the busy Madinat.

    These tiny treats look like a cookie or shortbread. It melts almost at once in your mouth with a rush of cardamom that is a lovely surprise. Nocochi….mmmmm made from finely ground chickpea flour and spices. The chocolate and cardamom is taste bud treat.

    You will not believe their exotic range of mini- pastries, Turkish delights, and wonderful dried fruits. All so daintily small that you can almost try them all! All shapes from golden crescents, glazed diamonds, pistachio-dusted cocoa rounds, squares of meringue, jam-dotted discs, knobs of walnuts and vanilla. Hazelnut rubs with strawberry, almonds are heart-shaped with apricot; they're feathered with powdered sugar, licked with chocolate, encrusted with coconut flakes.

    Also one of the few great coffee shops to serve Illy coffee – my favourite.

    Off The Beaten Path: Sweet relaxation
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • ChoCo'a, a luscious chocolate lounge and coffee shop behind Mall of the Emirates (MOTE) opened until midnight. Truly worth the walk across the road in any heat. Die hard choco fans won’t have a deal to do this. It's also nice and quiet to escape the Maul at the MOTE.

    Totally innovative Beligium chocolate creations, handmade and wrapped in the local factory at Al Qouz. There are mountains of choice, like tiny chocolate mousse pyramids filled with cardamom-flavoured coffee cream, diabetic and yummy sultry hot chocolate.

    Off The Beaten Path: Drum it under the full moon
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • This is so cool. In the desert, full moon, with loads of people, drumming. Think chaos, hilarity and loads of fun. Was a great night and we're going again. Was about 100Dhs each for dinner & drumming fun.
