As part of Abu Dhabi Culinary Season, here at Time Out Abu Dhabi we’ve partnered with more than 40 restaurants, bars, cafés and lounges across the capital to bring you Sweetest Things.
From Friday November 13 to Saturday November 28 there will be mouth-watering desserts and offers available at some of the city’s very best places for desserts.
From coffee and cake deals at the capital’s trendy coffee shops to discounted desserts in high-end restaurants and loads more in malls across the city, there will be loads of options to try during the period of the campaign.
We’re bringing you all of the delicious deserts on a dedicated section of our website, which can be found at www.timeoutabudhabi.com/sweetest-things.
It’s part of the overall Abu Dhabi Culinary Season from the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi which includes a variety of promotions across the capital, including Yas Flavors (a series of special set menus on Yas Island) and Chef’s Studio, a pop-up cooking school running in December.
