You’ve seen it, we’ve seen it, and now, we alll want it. It’s no lie Global Village has everyone running to its food streets, like, have you seen the way the influencers are influencing? Consider us *obsessed*.
But with 40 pavilions and 75 countries in total, oh my, you need a proper Cosmo ME-approved food guide sis.
We know the hassle of walking around and trying to find your next meal in the infamous GV is already a task itself, but as always we have your back.
From all the sweet delights, the snackable bites, and hard-hitting full plates, we know just the spots where you can go ~crazy~ with the food.
Italian Bites – Calzone Nutella
Why we’re *obsessed*: We love a Nutella moment. Soft yet still scrumptious and filled with mushy chocolate goodness, what more can we say? Of course, like every sugar-rush girlie, it’s powdered sweetly with sugar on top.
Where is it 📍: Italian Bites, Europe Pavillion.
Humm Crumbs – The Warm Strawberry
Why we’re *obsessed*: We love a good dupe of a dessert. Blazed custard and a plethora of fruit and snack bases with extra crumbles — trust and believe when we say we’re having more than two.
Where is it 📍: Humm Crumbs, Thailand Pavillion.
B.Laban – The “Habba” Cake
Why we’re *obsessed*: Every UAE-born kid who hasn’t tried B.Laban, are you reallly living life to the fullest? If you want a taste of all the goodness a.k.a the chocolate fudge with French chocolate PLUS the kunafa mix, pistachio sauce, and hazelnut pieces, trust and believe we’d come back for thirds.
Where is it 📍: B.Laban, Egypt Pavilion
Natsu Cubes
Why we’re *obsessed*: Stop, we’re obsessed to the max. For just Dhs38 you’re getting a full load of flavours. We’re talking fresh potatoes, yummy-licious cream topped with everyone’s personal favourite, crushed Taki’s. Delish!
Where is it 📍: Natsu Cubes, just a ‘lil walk after the VIP gate
K-Blox- Korean Hot Noodles
Why we’re *obsessed*: Besties that snack at K-Blox together, stay together type of energy. Why? If you’re a fan of all things Korean ramen, K-Blox is literally the only place where you get that real delicious experience with your besties. Either pick the cheesy route, spicy, or both. For us though? We’ll take all three.
Where is it 📍: K-Blox, just nearby the Cultural Gate Entrance.
Melty – Magnum Croissant
Why we’re *obsessed*: Uhm, WDYM you haven’t tried their uber chocolatey croissant yet *side eye*? They got your usual freshly basked French croissant with a little Arab twist we loveee. Packed with crushed chocolate and vanilla ice cream, and let’s not forget the best of it all, the sweet kunafa sauce, oh my days, we’re def buying multiple.
Where is it 📍: Melty, located opposite the laser show
Mr Chicago – Deep Dish Pizza
Why we’re *obsessed*: Is it really any good without cheesy pizza? Never. If you want to celebrate that fact you’ve either crossed every country and pavilion or managed to pull five minutes of walking, then you need to head to Fiesta Street for a pizza celebration. Just go to Mr Chicago for the perfect blend of cheeses — the most powerful trio mozzarella, provolone and parmigiano with all the right toppings. *Yum*
Where is it 📍: Fiesta Street, Global Village
Okay, maybe you’re more of a fine dining type of gal. Then you need to know all the MAJOR restaurants launching in Dubai this year.
