Get ready to indulge in the ultimate sugar rush as the world’s biggest chocolate fair is heading back to Dubai.
Salon du Chocolat et de la pâtisserie returns for its second edition in the emirate on 18-20 May at Le Gourmet in Galeries Lafayette, Dubai Mall.
Last year more than 3,000 chocoholics surrendered their taste buds to the three-day choco-filled extravaganza, and this year’s edition promises to be an even sweeter experience with a chance to discover and taste mouthwatering chocolate creations by leading international brands and engage in exclusive meet-and-greet sessions with renowned pastry chefs.
While Salon du Chocolat is a dream for chocoholics, Joumana Damous-Salamé, managing director of event organiser Hospitality Services, says the event is also a celebration of all things pastry, sweets, and confectionary.
This year’s edition will host professional chocolate tasters, chocolate masters, chocolate lovers, as well as renowned authors and pastry chefs from all around the world.
