Where to buy bread cakes chocolates ice cream Île D'Abu Dhabi

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.

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!
