Hunter & Barrel’s dessert menu has been refreshed — here’s what’s new and what to try!
From traditional Middle Eastern sweets to elegant French pastries and velvety chocolate creations, the UAE is a sweet tooth’s paradise. Desserts play a significant role in Emirati culture, often serving as symbols of warmth and hospitality. Guests are greeted with dates and Arabic coffee when they enter each other’s homes, and celebrations are always marked by the exchange of sweets and treats.
With our melting pot of cultures and exceptional culinary scene, there’s no cuisine you can’t tuck into in the Emirates, and this extends to desserts. From baklava and kunafa to the finest French pastries and indulgent chocolate mousses, there’s a decadent dessert to satisfy every craving — and our Chef has curated an impressive lineup of 12 desserts on the Hunter & Barrel menu to do just that.

Paris Brest
A show-stopping French classic reimagined. Light choux pastry is filled with rich hazelnut praline cream, topped with red fruit and finished with a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Elegant, indulgent, and utterly memorable.
Chocolate Croustillant
For serious chocolate lovers. A crunchy almond nougatine shell encloses a velvety double dark chocolate mousse — the ultimate combination of texture and depth of flavour.
Pavlova
Light, airy and bursting with freshness. A crisp meringue base is topped with freshly whipped cream and vibrant seasonal fruits, making this a dessert that’s as beautiful as it is delicious.
Tiramisu
Our take on the Italian classic features traditional Mascarpone foam layered with savoiardi biscuits and dusted with cocoa powder. Timeless, elegant, and deeply satisfying.
Chocolate Mi-Cuit
Our divine and much-loved molten chocolate cake remains a firm favourite. Oozing with warm dark chocolate and paired with velvety vanilla bean ice cream, it’s the dessert that keeps our guests coming back.
