After a successful relaunch last year, Taste of Dubai is returning in February and will be held for the first time at Skydive Dubai. The three-day festival, scheduled from Friday, 23 to Sunday, 25 February, promises a culinary extravaganza with pop-ups from the city's top restaurants, a stellar celebrity chef lineup, and more music and licensed outlets. Hosted in partnership with Philips, the event is expected to attract over 25,000 guests, making it the go-to social foodie gathering of the year.
At Taste Of Dubai, sixteen of Dubai's best restaurants will create a special menu with three to five 'taster' size dishes. This allows guests to try a variety of options from the impressive lineup and pick their favourites. To cater to everyone, each restaurant will have at least one vegetarian option and one kid-friendly dish. You can buy dishes at the event using credit cards, debit cards or vouchers included in specific ticket packages. The first 13 restaurants have been confirmed as:
- Hutong
