BONBOON: Satisfy your curiosity and your sweet tooth with Bonboon’s two-part dessert special. Begin with a chestnut crepe wrapped in hazelnut and pear jelly, followed by a light, sugar-coated frappe. Pair it with a glass of Gewürztraminer for a blissful evening. Book your seat here.

PAINDEMIE
Traditional Dutch boerenjongens (brandy-infused raisins) make the soft serve pop at Paindemie. They join the caramelized pecans, salted caramel, and caramel fudge to create a flavour bomb. Book your experience at Paindemie here!

ARLES: Since 2016, Arles has held onto its beloved Riz au Lait, a must-try classic. Imagine sitting back with a glass of Lalande de Pomerol, savoring each creamy spoonful—Paris has nothing on this! Explore Arles’ dessert magic here.

CAFE PARLOTTE: For those cosy evenings, wrap up with a Pavlova adorned with fresh berries or dig into a warm, drippy toffee cake with hazelnuts. Great wine, delicious sweets, and heart-to-heart conversations await. Find your sweet escape here.

End your day on a sweet note with Unbookables’ dessert picks and create memories that linger.
