The London favourite, famous for pairing theatrical desserts with premium Champagne, will open at DIFC Square, one of Dubai’s newest lifestyle and business developments.
According to the Dubai Government Media Office, Cake & Bubbles will be part of an exciting lineup of restaurants and venues launching at DIFC Square. Other names expected to open in the development include Duck & Rice, Hudson & Rye, Liban and Saddle.
A famous London dessert destination arrives in Dubai
Cake & Bubbles first gained international attention at Hotel Café Royal on London’s Regent Street, where it quickly developed a reputation for combining elegant desserts with a refined Champagne experience.
The concept is built around a unique idea: serving exceptional pastries and desserts alongside an extensive selection of more than 50 Champagnes and sparkling wines.
This combination of indulgent desserts and premium drinks helped the venue establish a strong identity in London and turned it into a favourite among food lovers and travellers.
The culinary legacy of Albert Adrià
Chef Albert Adrià is widely considered one of the most influential figures in modern gastronomy.
He began his culinary journey at the legendary restaurant El Bulli at the age of just 16, later becoming known for pushing the boundaries of pastry and avant-garde cuisine.
Over the years, Adrià has built an impressive portfolio of acclaimed restaurants across Spain. In 2015, he was named World’s Best Pastry Chef, and his Barcelona restaurant Enigma earned its second Michelin star in 2025.
The arrival of Cake & Bubbles in Dubai marks another international expansion of his distinctive dessert concept.
Signature desserts expected in Dubai
While the final menu for the Dubai venue has yet to be confirmed, the London location is known for several standout creations.
Popular items include:
-
The “Cheese Cake” to Share – made with Baron Bigod cheese, hazelnut and white chocolate
-
Classic Basque Burnt Cheesecake – famous for its caramelised top and creamy texture
-
Cakes & Bubbles Corks
-
Matcha & Yuzu Slice
-
Passion Golden Egg
-
After Eight dessert
These visually striking desserts are designed to be both flavourful and theatrical, reflecting Adrià’s approach to modern pastry.
DIFC Square becoming a major lifestyle destination
The opening of Cake & Bubbles is part of a broader transformation taking place at DIFC Square.
The development includes around 600,000 square feet of office space, alongside retail outlets and restaurants that aim to turn the district into a vibrant lifestyle destination rather than just a financial hub.
With a growing collection of dining concepts and international brands, DIFC continues to strengthen its position as one of Dubai’s leading culinary districts.
For dessert lovers and food enthusiasts across the UAE, the arrival of Cake & Bubbles promises a new destination dedicated to innovative pastries, Champagne and refined dining experiences in the heart of Dubai.
