Located on stylish Fashion Avenue, within the sprawling Dubai Mall, you'll find Angelina Paris. This elegant dining room and cafe pulls inspiration from 1930s Paris, celebrating the city's heritage and glitzy glamour. Enter through the flower arch, and you'll be greeted by a plush space with chandeliers dangling from the ceiling and stunning landscape paintings on the walls. The cafe is open for breakfast, with an all-day menu filling up the rest of the day. Although the offering is primarily French, you'll find plenty of Middle Eastern options too, including Turkish eggs and shakshuka.
If you're stopping by for breakfast here, you'll have plenty of choice. For something lighter, you can enjoy a croissant, egg and avocado toast or some extra healthy granola. For something sweeter, there are chocolate and banana pancakes, mini Viennoiseries and chocolate croissants to choose from. There is a huge selection of coffees, including Arabic, Turkish, Spanish and Viennois, so be sure to have a browse before just ordering the usual.
Later in the day, things get a little heartier and more savoury. As morning turns to afternoon, try a traditional French onion soup topped with cheesy croutons, a must for any newcomers. Elsewhere, there are starters like saffron arancini, grilled prawns and truffle fries to sample too. To suit the international clientele, there are plenty of burgers and salads to choose from, as well as other mains like steak, grilled salmon or risotto. There's also a children's menu with crowdpleasers like fish fingers, mini burgers and mac and cheese. Aside from coffee and tea, there are also mocktails packed with tropical fruits like the berry cobbler or yuzu lemonade, ideal for cooling down after a hard day's shopping. Be sure to buy some cakes or pastries to take with you, they make a perfect gift.
