EASY TRIPS
There are more than 200 nationalities that make up the expatriate community of
Dubai, making it one of the most culturally diverse cities in the Middle East and to a
greater extent, Asia. These nationalities that now call Dubai home now have the
opportunity to showcase their cuisine to the rest of Dubai at this food festival. The
festival will kick off with the return of Miele Dubai Restaurant Week, where for 10
days, gourmands can enjoy a three-course prix fixe menu. There will be 30 restaurants
participating this year, including Gordon Ramsay’s Bread Street Kitchen, Heinz
Beck’s Social and many more. A fun activity to get the family involved in is by
heading to Etisalat Beach Canteen at Sunset Beach. There will be Al Islami
Masterclasses, farmers’ markets, popup stalls, entertainment for the whole family and
even a beach cinema. Rounding off the festival is Taste of Dubai, where visitors can
catch live cooking demonstrations by celebrity chefs.DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES MAKE IT HAPPENDubai Food Festival 2017
