The culinary event Taste of Dubai, the largest of its kind, will be held on February 23-25 at Skydive Dubai in Dubai Marina.
Taste of Dubai, in partnership with the Philips brand, is returning for another year, and it's bigger than ever!
From February 23-25, 2024, Dubai's premier food, drink, and music festival will take place at Skydive Dubai, bringing together an expected 25,000 food enthusiasts, families, and friends for three days of culinary festivity and entertainment.
During these three delightful days, Taste of Dubai, in partnership with the Philips brand, will showcase the city's finest cuisines, featuring pop-ups from 16 of Dubai's most acclaimed restaurants.
Each restaurant will curate a menu of 3-5 'taster' side dishes, allowing you to navigate the impressive line-up and select your favorites. You can purchase dishes using credit and debit cards at the event or with vouchers included in select ticket packages.
The weekend will be packed with culinary workshops hosted by professional chefs in the Philips Cook School, Waterfront Market BBQ School, and the Kibsons Mystery Box Challenge, where you can learn the best kitchen secrets, techniques, and insights directly from the experts. Celebrity chefs this year include the original trio of MasterChef Australia: Gary Mehigan, Matt Preston, and George Calombaris.
For the first time, Taste of Dubai will host the Dibba Bay Oyster Shuck Off, an event that marks the culmination of the Dibba Bay Oyster Festival. This annual event brings the UAE community together to celebrate the local oyster through education and entertainment.
The feature will include shucking competitions with chefs competing for the UAE Shucking Champion title and amateur shucking competitions where Taste guests can register on-site to participate. Guests can also participate in masterclasses and even try specially crafted dishes by Dibba Bay.
To keep the festival vibes going throughout the weekend, music pockets throughout the venue will be active from day to night, featuring everything from DJs to intimate acoustic sets. You can also stop by one of the nine licensed outlets to pick up your favorite dancing drinks and singing sips!
And what better way to walk off a gourmet meal than with some shopping? An impressive market of artisan vendors and established brands will be selling their treats & trinkets, sampling their products, and more.
Kids can stay occupied all weekend in a mega kids zone, including bouncy castles, kids cooking workshops, and more for those with little chefs at home. When it's time to refuel, little ones will have plenty of options, as all restaurants will serve a kid-friendly dish to keep their energy and stomachs full. Best of all? Kids under 12 go free!
