From show-stopping chocolate couture and live pastry demonstrations to world-class chefs and decadent creations, Salon du Chocolat et de la Pâtisserie Dubai is set to satisfy every sweet tooth from 30 November to 2 December.

If chocolate is your love language, clear your calendar! One of the sweetest events on Dubai’s culinary calendar is back, and this year promises to be bigger and better. Salon du Chocolat et de la Pâtisserie Dubai returns for its fifth edition at Madinat Jumeirah from 30 November to 2 December 2026, bringing together some of the world’s finest pastry chefs, chocolatiers and culinary creatives for three days of pure indulgence.

Timed with the UAE’s 55th Eid Al Etihad celebrations, the festival will transform Madinat Arena into a 3,500 sqm celebration of all things chocolate, pastry, confectionery and specialty coffee. Expect more than 50 pastry chefs, 360 participating brands and 120 exhibitors, with plenty to see, taste and discover along the way.

Chocolate, Couture and a Runway Like No Other

One of the biggest crowd-pullers is undoubtedly the iconic Chocolate Fashion Show, where fashion meets gastronomy in the most delicious way. This year’s edition takes inspiration from legendary singers and music icons, with renowned pastry chefs teaming up with designers from ESMOD to create spectacular fashion pieces made from chocolate. Yes, chocolate!

Meet the Masters Behind the Magic

The fifth edition will welcome Antonio Bachour, named World’s Best Pastry Chef, as Guest of Honour. He will be joined by an impressive line-up of regional and international culinary talent, bringing together the creativity, skill and craftsmanship behind some of the most exciting developments in contemporary pastry.

Visitors can catch the action at the Pastry Show and Choco Démo, where chefs will take to the stage for live demonstrations, interactive workshops and a closer look at the techniques and flavour combinations shaping the world of chocolate and pastry.

More Than Just a Sweet Treat

There’s plenty for the curious foodie, too. The Talks will bring together industry experts to explore everything from sustainability and ingredient innovation to changing consumer tastes and the future of chocolate, pastry, gelato and coffee.

Professional competitions will put established and emerging talent to the test, while coffee lovers can explore the specialty coffee programme, including the Coffee in Good Spirits Championship and the experiential Brew Bar.

Now in its fifth year, Salon du Chocolat et de la Pâtisserie Dubai has become a meeting point for international culinary talent, established brands and emerging creatives, reflecting Dubai’s growing reputation as a destination for global food experiences.
