The famous dessert parlor all the way from Istanbul is now open in Dubai! Since 1956, Divan has been among the top desserts places at Istanbul! It has a wide variety of sweets to offer from chocolates to macarons, fondues, tea & coffee, nuts & almonds, pastries and much more! They also serve some savory items such as crossiants and fatayer.
All the ingredients and items including the pastries (frozen) arrive all the way from Istanbul, it is kept for sale only till its fresh and changes to new, the next day!
You can sample their fondue on the front counter in either dark/milk chocolate along with fruits/marshmallows and much more!
As you enter, there is a beautiful chocolate fountain flowing in the background which is just for interior purpose. Their interiors also include some of the historical images from Istanbul depicting their story.
As a part of my tasting session, i got to try some of their menu items including macarons, turkish delights, pastries, cookies, tea & coffee.
There are plenty of flavor options when it comes to maacarons and is also quite affordable (AED 14 per piece). I got to try the orange, rose, pistachio and lemon flavored macarons. My favorite amongst all of them were the orange and rose flavors. The flavor was too strong and the macarons tasted fresh and yummy!
I tried out their pistachio chocolate cakes which was filled with pistachios from withing as well as topped with some – the presentation of all the pastries were fabulous!
Coming to their tea & coffee selections, i would highly recommend to try out their turkish tea! The coffee was not that that impressive but tea turned out to be a hero!
Divan also offers personalized gift boxes for macarons, chocolate covered nuts, cookies and lots more!
A place not to be missed especially if you are a fan of turkish sweets and macarons!
