I finally decided to grab a takeaway from this outlet and was every bit delighted with my decision. The pecan tart was every bit and bite sumptuous and easy to eat, as it came in the form of a pizza slice. The base of the tart was crumby and the topping had generous amounts of pecan, a nut whose taste I have started to fancy, off late. A bite full of the tart provides a mix of flavors and texture and a sticky top layer. The gooey sticky and sweet filling did delight my taste buds and given the holiday season and festive vibes, this makes for a more than perfect sweet indulgence. I wasnt able to finish the entire slice in one go and had to break it down to two sittings to complete it. Do try it, while it is still on the shelves of Panificio. They also have a range of breads and crossiants especially that look and taste delectable and also some deli stuff like sandwiches that are of a good portion size and filling too. Again, friendly service at this outlet too and attentive staff. Will be back more Pecan Tarts soon.

I do not know this area well and I was waiting for somewhere to sit while waiting for people to join me for a meeting. The atmosphere is very casual for what is otherwise a well-known business district in Dubai. The service is very friendly, and helpful. You could say that this is a very upmarket sandwich and deli shop. There is a weekly menu of rotating items including sandwiches, tarts and other items. What I really appreciated is that this place restrains from stocking the predictable items that you would expect in a deli or, more specifically, the brands that you have grown accustomed to seeing everywhere. For example I enjoyed one of their raspberry and ginger drinks from the chilled fridge. And this is something that I do not get to see everywhere else in Dubai. In fact this speaks to a wider point where this place is exudes character. It exudes character but at the same time maintains a relaxed and restrained atmosphere. The standout item for me was the tart of the day which was a pecan pie. Now I have tried many pecan pies and this was probably the best if not the best pecan pie I have ever had. The base was thin and crispy, the interior was sticky and dense and the nuts themselves were sweet, crunchy and with that signature fatty pecan taste. I would come back to this place for this time alone! And much to my sadness I think this was only at half of the week, I sincerely hope they keep this as a full-time menu item! If you are in DIFC or if you are coming to the DIFC area then I highly recommend coming to Panifico.
