VOGUE CAFE - Dubai
Okay folks, long over due as I've been back from my trip for a little over a week now. Jetlag and traveling for a brand new job has delayed all the posts I've been excited to share.
Leading in with the ultra chic experience I had at the Vogue Cafe in Dubai, one of only four locations in the world. Conveniently nestled in the center of the familiar friends Prada, Gucci and Louis Vuitton in the Shoe Level District of the Dubai Mall, the Vogue Cafe offers shoppers an elegant way to take a break from shopping to enjoy desserts, drinks or lunch from a full menu.
THE most stylish dessert and drink I've ever had, the cafe does not fail to disappoint in ambiance, taste, service or ingenuity. A truly unique experience.
The definition of where to find the Intersection between Fashion and Travel, the Vogue Cafe surrounds their guests with iconic magazine images and wise words from fashion gurus mixed with the super luxe decor that are only fitting for the posh Dubai lifestyle.

Now, THE FOOD. (and drinks)
I had the Chocolate implosion. A dome of white chocolate, filled with crunchy mint ice cream, smothered in warm Vahrona milk chocolate. OH MY GOODNESS. Seriously a work of art when it's served, this sinful dessert is just heavenly when it hits your taste buds! Okay I'm obsessed with all things chocolate but HOT DAMN this this was beautiful AND delicious!
Check out my video below. The ULTIMATE definition of food porn!.
I paired my dessert with their signature mocktail, the "Vogue Cafe Golden Lemonade", a fresh citrus blend of lemon juice, their homemade 72 hour infused golden syrup with honey and rosemary, and in true Dubai fashion, of course topped off with 24-carat gold dust. Again the presentation, this beautiful drink was served in a tall glass atop a lit up, coaster like device, that my server described as an "Iron Man lifeline apparatus". Refreshing and very unique indeed.
