BRIX CAFÉ TRANSFORMS INTO A WINTER WONDERLAND TO BEAT THE SUMMER HEAT
Inspired by the global spotlight moment earlier this year, when BRIX Café was invited to present chef Carmen's pastry creations at the prestigious World Economic Forum in Davos, the venue now brings that frosty Alpine fantasy home with a bold new seasonal concept. Nestled by the harbour, the café has been reimagined into a winter wonderland escape – a refuge of cool, calm, and curated indulgence that turns summer on its head.
Each year, the harbour-side dessert destination reinvents its space to reflect a new mood. This year, the narrative took a chilled turn. Think coconut nitro snow melting over a strawberrylychee core, Chocolate On The Rocks like a Caribbean cocktail, and truffle mousse so airy it feels like a winter fog rolling in from the Alps. The menu doesn't shy away from indulgence, but it's thoughtfully balanced with refreshing textures, zesty notes, and icy finishes that make every bite a reprieve from the heat.
Drinks too, are crafted with cooling in mind – whether it's the Rimal, a cold brew laced with Liwa dates and desert spices, or The Ghaf, a bottled hibiscus and grapefruit spritz that pays tribute to the UAE's national tree. There's even a twist on 'iced hot chocolate' – a playful nod to après-ski culture with a tropical touch.
For those eager to experience more than a single dish, BRIX Café's Experiences Menu offers curated journeys through Chef Carmen's frosty world. Each experience pairs a house-made drink, savoury bite, and plated dessert under one set price, perfect for mid-afternoon escapes or laid-back catch-ups.
Whether you're in search of a moment of calm, a sweet escape, or a creative culinary experience, BRIX Café's Davos in Dubai is redefining how summer tastes. Under Chef Carmen's visionary leadership, every dessert is not just plated but performed, bringing together temperature, texture, and storytelling.

The Wanderlust: Where are these tastemakers travelling to this summer?
In this Wanderlust feature, we ask five tastemakers what their summer plans are. From revealing their top travel wishlist destinations, to insights on what their summer travelling plans looks like, these ladies take us on a journey into a high-summer. Along with picturesque travel inspo, they also reveal what they're packing for their trips – for the ultimate summer inspo guide. Her Excellency Khawla Al Serkal | Director General – Sharjah Ladies Club (Slc) This is The Travel Issue – which locations are top of your travel list? Cannes, Lugano, and Lake Como are at the top of my travel list. Cannes is always captivating – with its effortless blend of elegance, seaside charm, and cultural vibrancy, it's the perfect place to immerse myself in art, film, and French Riviera glamour. Lugano offers a peaceful escape where Swiss precision meets Italian soul – its lakeside beauty and Alpine views make it a serene yet sophisticated destination. And Lake Como, with its timeless romance, historic villas, and calm waters, is simply a dream. Together, these places reflect the kind of travel I love – elegant, inspiring, and deeply rejuvenating. Where will you be travelling to this summer? This summer, I'll be travelling to a few favourite destinations, but one that's become a cherished yearly tradition is our family trip to Évian, France. Tucked between the Alps and Lake Geneva, Évian offers the perfect balance of nature, tranquility, and wellness. It's a peaceful escape where the kids can enjoy the outdoors, and I can unwind in the crisp mountain air. From lakefront walks to fresh local cuisine, it's a place that feels both grounding and rejuvenating. It's not just a getaway – it's a summer ritual that brings us together as a family in the most meaningful way. Mona Bin Kalli | Entrepreneur This is The Travel Issue – which locations are top of your travel list? My favourite summer destination is Sardinia in Italy. The coastline is breathtaking with crystal clear emerald water. The entire island is stunning! Where will you be travelling to this summer? This summer I'll be travelling to London, Paris and hopefully make it to Sardinia, which is my birthday ritual. Jihane El Alaoui | Content Creator This is The Travel Issue – which locations are top of your travel list? London, Mykonos, Bodrum, Paris and Courchevel are on top of my travel list at the moment. I can't wait to visit these destinations! Where will you be travelling to this summer? This summer, I'll be travelling across Bodrum and Mykonos for a beautiful coastal escape. I might also head to the Maldives at the end of my trip. Latifa Al Shamsi | Beauty & Fashion Content Creator This is The Travel Issue – which locations are top of your travel list? Japan and Morocco are currently at the top of my list. I love Japan for its unique blend of tradition and innovation – and Morocco for its colours, culture, and timeless charm. Both inspire me creatively in very different ways. Where will you be travelling to this summer? This summer is a beautiful mix of familiar favourites and new adventures. I'll be spending time in Bodrum, Egypt, and Lebanon. And for a family escape, we're still deciding – but it's likely to be somewhere vibrant and exciting in Asia. Natasha Oakley | Founder – Monday Swimwear This is The Travel Issue – which locations are top of your travel list? Dubai had been at the top of my list before this year. I'd visited when I was younger, but this January was my first time returning, and it was such a special trip. I absolutely loved my time there – it was even more meaningful because we were there with Monday Swimwear to celebrate our launch on Ounass. Next on my list is Africa. I've been dreaming of going on safari for as long as I can remember. I'd also love to explore South Africa – it's been high on my list for years and I hope to make it happen soon. Where will you be travelling to this summer? I'm actually in the middle of my summer travels now. We started our trip in Paris, and I've spent the past few weeks in Greece, mixing work and leisure. My husband is Greek and we love coming back each year – this time we've had the chance to explore even more of the country. Devin, my best friend and business partner, has been with me the whole time as well, and we'll be wrapping up this leg of the trip together at the end of our time in Greece. Italy is always calling us back – it's probably our favourite destination. My husband and I got engaged in Capri three years ago and married there two years ago, so it holds a very special place in our hearts. We'll be visiting Capri again this year, as well as Ischia and the Amalfi Coast. Usually we'd stay a little longer, but I'm heading back earlier than usual because we're opening our very first Monday Swimwear store in Beverly Hills in mid-July. It's such a huge moment for us, and I can't wait. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram
