Forever Rose started out as a store selling treated roses that last forever. Now it's a trendy café, opened in November 2020, that never lets up. It all starts with the monochrome black-and-white décor, followed by trompe-l'oeil and the sensation of being in the middle of a comic strip illustration. The clientele is mainly local, with a few influencers and their followers. Lavender or orchid latte, melting chocolate and caramel ganache for the "Lava of Love"... What an atmosphere!

This small café is located on the garden level of the Ritz-Carlton opposite the great mosque. You have to cross the imposing lobby of the establishment and go down to find the little café not far from the swimming pool. As its name suggests, it is a sweet paradise with a tangy decor. The French pastry chef offers homemade ice creams, cakes and sweets that would make the best establishments pale in comparison and make all the great gourmands fall in love. It's a great way to end a day of sightseeing after a visit to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque.

It's in the souk side of the World Trade Center, designed by the famous architects Foster&Partners, that you'll find this little "bistro" between two purchases. In a deceptively Victorian setting, this is the local branch of the Dubai-based company. Ladurée style without style, but the products are good and reasonably priced. A good address for simple dishes. Don't miss the sweet and savoury crêpes, the poultry, the oeuf Bénédicte, the macaroons and, as rarities, the frosted orange and lemon.

This international chain, founded in 1983 by a cookbook writer, Helge Rubinstein, has become a worldwide success. Long gone are the days of her first stand in a covered market in Oxford where she sold her first cookies. It was also her son Ben who inspired the name and who was sketched by Helge's friend: the famous illustrator Quentin Blake. The secret? Everything is made on the spot. Impossible to choose your taste among the 18 different cookies, chocolate or not. You have to take 2 or 3, and eat them warm!

Just a few steps away from the Qasr al Hosn, here is a very nice address to take a break between two visits. A 100% Emirati chocolate maker. Their varieties are directly inspired by the history of the emirates, the spice route and the sailors who used to find their way by the sky. Mirzam, whose name refers to a star, offers new flavours: saffron, star anise, Damascus rose, fennel and many others. And then there is the packaging, so successful, so beautiful, so inspiring that it is already a temptation!
