CHOCOLATE SHOPS IN DUBAI FOR ALL OCCASIONS
Whether you are looking for a candy bar or a golden trolley laden with fine chocolate, here is a list of the best chocolate stores in Dubai. We bet you cannot resist gorging on these sweet little things whenever you see them.
LADERACH CHOCOLATIER
Dubai is no stranger to rich, handmade Swiss chocolate. It was last year in September that The Dubai Mall introduced the luxury chocolate store: Laderach Chocolatier. This is the fourth branch of the brand in the UAE and they have maintained quality and uniqueness in this Dubai Mall chocolate shop as well. In fact, Laderach Chocolate Dubai delicately crafts each collection from the best ingredients that make these chocolates worthwhile for connoisseurs. You can find the brand at the Mall of the Emirates and Nakheel Mall too.
AL NASSMA
Being the only company in the world specialising in camel milk chocolate, Al Nassma is rightly dubbed as the ‘UAE’s most original chocolate concept.’ Along with a unique taste, you get to enjoy a host of health benefits attributed to camel’s milk such as more vitamin C, less fat, less lactose and low sugar content. Of course, it would be unfair to restrict Al Nassma Chocolate Dubai Mall’s offerings to camel milk chocolate. You can choose from a wide range of bars with flavours like cardamom, cumin and caramel. Not to mention, their camel-shaped truffles also make for unique gifts. The brand’s chocolates are also available in souvenir shops around Dubai including those in the Dubai Parks and Resorts.

The French chocolatiers Forrey and Galland have brought their unique taste to Dubai. All products of the brand are hand-picked, handmade and custom packaged in the UAE.
