The closest French icon to Grande Signature, Ladurée's Fashion Avenue salon is about a 7-minute walk. Famous worldwide for its double-decker macarons, it's the spot for an afternoon pick-me-up, a gift box, or a light lunch of savoury tartines under the pastel-and-gold interiors.

A 9-minute walk away, Angelina brings its 1903 Rue de Rivoli heritage to Dubai Mall. The legendary thick 'L'Africain' hot chocolate and the Mont-Blanc chestnut pastry are the must-orders. With nearly 12,000 reviews it's one of the most-loved French addresses in Downtown.
Swiss Butter — steak-frites at Sofitel Downtown (~13-min walk)
