Taste of Abu Dhabi is returning for its fourth year, bringing three days of delicious bites, hands-on cooking experiences, and live entertainment to Yas Island. Taking place at Yas Gateway Park North from November 13 to 15, the festival will bring together some of Abu Dhabi’s favourite restaurants, celebrity chefs, and live performers for a weekend filled with good food and even better vibes.
16 Restaurant Pop-Ups to Eat Your Way Through
With 16 restaurant pop-ups taking over the festival, visitors will get to explore some of Abu Dhabi’s favourite dining spots, alongside emerging culinary talent. Each restaurant will serve between three and five taster-sized dishes, making it the perfect opportunity to sample a little bit of everything without committing to just one menu.
And there’s an extra treat this year! For the first time, Taste of Abu Dhabi will give visitors an early taste of two exciting new additions to the capital’s dining scene, making their city debut at the festival.
Get Cooking With Celebrity Chefs
If you’ve ever wanted to pick up a few tricks from the pros, this is your chance. The festival will host a series of hands-on cooking workshops led by some familiar faces, where visitors can create recipes specially designed for Taste of Abu Dhabi.
Italian favourite Gino D’Acampo is returning to the stage, joined by Irish TV personality Rachel Allen and British chef and restaurateur Thomas Straker. Visitors can also learn a thing or two from chefs Faisal Naser, Jenny Morris, Richard Stratton, and more throughout the weekend.
Live Music to Keep the Good Vibes Going
Taste of Abu Dhabi will keep the energy going with a lineup of live performances and DJ sets throughout the three days.
Confirmed acts include The Nomads DXB, Hamdan Al Abri, Jose Ramon, and The Band of Brodas, giving visitors plenty of reasons to stick around after they’ve had their fill.
Whether you’re there to discover your next favourite restaurant, get hands-on in the kitchen, catch some live music, or simply spend a fun weekend with friends and family, Taste of Abu Dhabi has plenty on the menu.
