The Chocolate Gallery

The Chocolate Gallery

A chocolate lover’s dream come true, this atelier at the five-star Fairmont Bab Al Bahr hotel is the perfect place to indulge one’s chocolate fantasies. Chic yet comfortable, elegant yet urbane, it has the full complement of signature hot and iced chocolate drinks to lift your mood, not to mention a range of devastatingly good fondues, cakes, truffles and pralines. Just watching the chocolatiers using the finest ingredients to craft such decadent confectionery will be enough to get your mouth watering.

John Cordeaux

It takes broad experience at some of the world’s finest kitchens to oversee culinary operations at the lavish Fairmont Bab Al Bahr, and executive chef John Cordeaux has got it in spades. He has spent some 25 years working with the very best, and now he brings his expertise to such renowned restaurants as Marco Pierre White Steakhouse. Like the former three-Michelin-starred White, Cordeaux has picked up a number of plaudits in his time, not least Hotelier Middle East magazine’s Chef of The Year award in 2010.
