A culinary adventure awaits us this weekend at Taste of Dubai, the city’s favourite food, drink and music festival.

More than 25,000 people are expected to attend the event at the Media City Amphitheatre.

Festival-goers can expect to be served taster-size signature dishes, while world-class chefs cook up a storm live on-stage

As always, there will be opportunities to get hands-on with interactive masterclasses and shop from an array of local and international food and drink vendors.

Ramon Salto, F&B Director for Le Meridien Dubai says it’s a great chance for the sector to demonstrate what it has to offer.
