With celebrity chefs, pop-up restaurants, VIP experiences and live music, this year’s foodie festival is one to add to the calendar.
Taking place on Yas Island from 14 to 16 November, this three-day epic food festival at Gate Park North, promises to delight foodies in the capital and beyond. With 15 restaurants taking part, including Fouquet’s Abu Dhabi, Ilios, Paradiso, Taparelle, The Director’s Club and vegetarian restaurant Gala Gourmet, each will offer three to five tasting dishes, meaning there will be plenty to choose from.
For the third year running, the gastronomic foodie event will bring together celeb chefs, pasta making classes, restaurant pop-ups and more. Not to mention, more than 20 licensed lounges, and plenty of Drink Dry beverages on offer too. There is a dedicated kiddie zone and VIP experience with fast-track entry, including lounge access. You can expect live music throughout with bands on stage and special guest acoustic performances.
Taste of Abu Dhabi is in partnership with BMW Abu Dhabi Motors, and if last year is anything to go by it’s going to be a brilliant weekend out. More than 19,000 people attended the 2024 event and organisers are expecting this year to be bigger and better.
Guests can explore the artisan market, with brands on hand sampling their products, as well as having the opportunity to test drive exclusive BMWs at the festival. Make sure you make a beeline for one of the celebrity chefs, including Gino D’Acampo, Matt Preston, Shivesh Bhatia and Jenny Morris to name a few.
Early bird tickets start from AED 60 for standard entry (free for children under 12), AED 175 for the Taster package, and AED 299 for VIP access with lounge entry and added perks. Visit Platinum List to find out more and secure your tickets.
