Taste of Abu Dhabi, we just can’t get enough of it. Food, food and more food.
And speaking of it, the capital’s annual food, drink and music festival is cooking up its new edition from 7th to 9th November at du Arena on Yas Island.
So what’s in the menu this year? Many restaurants across the city will be serving bite-size dishes including Sambusek, Roberto’s, Butcher & Still, Namak by Kunal Kapur and Dai Pai Dong.
Celebrity chefs are of course in the line-up too. This year will see award-winning French chef Jean Christophe Novelli; Australian chef, author and Master Chef UK judge John Torode; cookbook author and founder of Assia Kitchen, Assia Othman; Master chef India judge, Kunal Kapur; international bestselling author on baby and children’s food and nutrition, Annabel Karmel; and master pâtissier Eric Lanlard all gracing the occasion.

Oh, take note of the various pavilions with interesting names like the International Food Sampling, Emirati Flavours complete with local chefs and delicacies, and The Beverage Theatre to try different cuisines and refreshing beverages.
