When Dubai’s chocolate lovers thought they had seen it all, Ladurée took indulgence to a whole new level. Launching on September 5 across the KSA, the world-renowned Parisian patisserie introduces The Dubai Chocolate French Toast. A bold, decadent creation that fuses the city’s love for chocolate with Ladurée’s signature Parisian elegance.
This isn’t just French toast. It’s a delicious meeting of culinary worlds: a collaboration between Chef Faisal Alharmoodi, the UAE’s first Bib Gourmand Michelin-awarded chef, and Mathilde Boumesla, Ladurée’s Executive Pastry Chef. Together, they have crafted a dessert that speaks two languages – Dubai’s daring chocolate flavors and Parisian finesse.
The Dubai Chocolate French Toast is an edible masterpiece, combining buttery baked brioche, airy kadaïf nests, and luscious pistachio praline, crowned with a vanilla ice cream scoop coated in crushed pistachios. Adorned with delicate gold leaves on top, finished with dark chocolate detailing, fragrant dried rose petals, and a silky chocolate sauce, this is French elegance reimagined through Dubai’s culinary spirit.
This is a dessert that lingers in memory long after the last bite, a celebration of craftsmanship, culture, and creativity. Every gourmand will want to try it at least once – to taste Dubai’s chocolate soul in its most exquisite form.
“This creation is a tribute to Dubai – a city that inspires boldness and innovation,” says Chef Faisal Alharmoodi, UAE’s first Bib Gourmand Michelin-awarded chef. “Working with Ladurée allowed me to bring local flavors into a French classic without losing its essence.”
Mathilde Boumesla, Executive Pastry Chef of Ladurée, adds, “Ladurée has always been about artistry and heritage. Through this collaboration, we embraced Dubai’s vibrant culinary identity while staying true to our Parisian roots. The result? A dessert that is as beautiful as it is unforgettable.”
As part of the launch, Ladurée has partnered with Blue Rewards, the loyalty program of Al Futtaim, to reward members with a complimentary gift box of six delicate orange-flavoured macarons with any purchase for a limited time, available at Riyadh Park Mall and Leysen Valley in Riyadh, and Ladurée Fayfa in Jeddah.
Experience this must-try indulgence at any Ladurée store to savor every decadent bite and create a memory that lingers long after the dessert is gone.
