The Labubu Dubai chocolate strawberry cup at WowBoozaPhotograph by The Sintoses Tickle the tastebuds with viral Dubai chocolate Dubai chocolate has taken the world by storm, but you don’t need a passport to indulge in this tasty trend. Several metro Atlanta spots are putting their own luxe spin on the decadent treat, which features thick chocolate layered with pistachio cream, tahini, and crunchy kataifi (shredded filo). Head to Confections Bakery and Cafe (Johns Creek, Duluth, or Suwanee) to try the salted Dubai chocolate breads or MOTW Coffee Pastries (Alpharetta) for Dubai chocolate cakes and fruit. At WowBooza (Duluth), Dubai chocolate is the inspiration for milkshakes and Labubu-shaped bars: We love the Labubu Dubai chocolate strawberry cups ($23), a decadent splurge that tastes as extra as it looks. Indulge in a celeb-loved, top-of-the-line facial Artisan Beauté’s Aquagold Fine Touch facial ($1,000) uses 24K gold–plated painless needles in this microinfusion procedure that is beloved by celebrities such as Kim Kardashian. The treatment, available at both Artisan Beauté locations, in Buckhead and the Westside, promises to add radiance and improve texture for a glowy, dewy, and event-ready finish. The painless procedure uses microdoses of neurotoxins, vitamins, antioxidants, and hyaluronic acid, which plump and refine the skin. Unlike more invasive procedures, this one has no recovery time, with the best results seen about five to seven days after the procedure. The glow lasts between 8 to 12 weeks. Make it even more luxurious by treating yourself to medical-grade skincare on your way out, from brands such as Biologique Recherche and Augustinus Bader. Imbibe in style with Bar Margot’s Dogwood Blossom cocktail  Nestled inside Four Seasons Hotel Atlanta, Bar Margot can’t be beat for an extraluxe drinking experience. Cozy up to a seat at the bar or head to a drinks table to sip the delectable, if wallet-busting, Dogwood Blossom cocktail ($40). This tipple includes Sake Ono Junmai Daiginjo and the aperitif wine Cocchi Americano. It’s topped off with Belvedere 10 vodka—a top-shelf collaboration with Atlanta icon Future—which involves a 10-step distilling process, including resting the single-harvest rye for 10 months. This delicious splurge is the perfect accoutrement for one of the bar’s lively DJ sets on Friday or Saturday nights.  Caviar fries at CarmelCourtesy of Oliva Restaurant Group Reward cravings high- and low-brow with caviar fries The trend of topping things with salty, flavor-bursting caviar may not be new, but it’s been perfected at Buckhead Village District’s Carmel Woodfire Seafood Oyster Bar. Crisp, thin french fries are piled high on a plate and doused with punchy crème fraiche and creamy béarnaise. A heaping portion of briny, decadent fish eggs is plopped on top to cut through the fat. The portion is large enough to share and, at $22 a pop, is somewhat affordable, given the ingredients.
